      So now we’re defending religious bigots? Now try it with Christians if you want me to believe for a second this has anything to do with nazis

        Yes, publicly burning symbols of any religion to incite hate and violence against them should be illegal. This has less to do with the religious feelings of the people and more with their physical safety.

        Let book burnings be tolerated and encouraged and the Nazis escalate to attacking people in the streets and then further to murdering the people in their homes. Europe already did that multiple times.

          more with their physical safety.

          Good point. They might get hurt when they try to kill other people over destruction of property.

          Me burning the bible, Quran, Tanakh, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and whatever else there exists to burn, doesn’t infringe on your right to believe in it. Freedom of belief doesn’t mean it can’t be criticised or protested.

          Cool, my belief is that anyone with an imaginary friend is at best a nutter and at worst a danger to society.

      And now religious people will come up with something new that upsets them and demand it to be declared illeagal.

          The other way. In private, you can make the rules and demand everybody to abide to your religious views or leave.

          In public, people are free to ignore your religious demands.

          Doing in public what others want to outlaw in public can be a form of protest to this encroachment.

          Meh, it is supposed to be a provocation, but is a completely harmless one. It’s not like they are doing bodily harm to anyone or destroying anyone elses property. Of course there are nutjobs out there that does it due to racisim, but that it so transparent and obvious that anyone should be able to write it of as such. But I also think that it can be a legit demonstration agains a system that has wronged them or against something horrific that has been done in the name of and/or by partisipants of whatever religion.

      Based.

      The appropriate reaction to a Nazi burning a book is to punch the Nazi in the face, but I guess this will have to do.
