I kind of suspect that Swedes wouldn’t storm or burn embassies when people squirt icing/frosting/vanilla sauce on cinnamon rolls either. Yet the thing these nut heads protest or storm embassies about is way way way a lesser crime.
Idk. Cumbuns are heresy!
I guess freedom of speech can be hard to understand when you lack thereof.
I wish more people would burn quran or depict Muhammad. Eventually they will have to give up trying to control everyone. Not hating on the religion, just the radicals…
Unpopular opinion: let the man burn the Quran, just not in front of a mosque just before Eid. There’s protest then there’s inciting violence, which happened the previous time as well.
I’m an atheist, but I’d never show up in front of a church on Xmas eve to burn a bible. You look so mean and petty it nullifies your protest.
Yes and no. In democracies, people have a wright to be mean and petty. They don’t have a right to kill people of different beliefs than theirs.
I’m torn on this. Restricting the when and where inherently restricts the extent of free speech. That’s not great.
Nonetheless, the guy burning the book is being an asshat for the sake of being an asshat. Generally speaking, I think we should let the asshats know that nobody likes them.
The question is : Which Eid. He waited for the court ruling, and the Eid al’Adha was the next available opportunity before the NATO vote.
I know the Koran burner in Sweden is originally from Iraq if I remember, is there some connection I’m missing why the Iraqis are particularly mad at him or just the burning thing?
