MODERATORS
and they are. But inciting hatred by public book burnings has no place in a secular society.
Inciting hatred against anyone burning a fucking book has no place in a secular society.
You are aware of the book burnings by the Nazis and the islamist terror group Boko Haram? I think your
is not as absolute as you make it to be.
In a secular society you can burn whatever the fuck you want of your stuff. You cannot burn other people's stuff. This is as clear as I can make it.
and that is perfectly legal still. You just cannot burn it in public with the intent to incite hatred and violence. In the same wake you cannot run around naked and face your Schlong at people. The public space is regulated by laws that prohibit behaviour endangering public safety and peace.
How this is something that people want to challenge, claiming secularity is beyond me.
We decided as a society that religious feelings being hurt should have zero influence over what people are allowed or not allowed to do, and I don't have any intention of letting it go back
It is not about religious feelings. It is about public incitement of hate and violence against a minority. Also how would you feel about symbols of Judaism being burnt in front of the Israeli embassy right now? Would you also claim freeze peeches, or is that only, when it goes against muslims?
I absolutely would support allowing it.
