MODERATORS
They want to burn a Qur’an right outside Stockholm’s main Mosque. How is that not incitement to violence or racial hatred?
If I burned a copy of the Torah outside a Synagogue, would that just be an expression of ‘free speech’? Or would I not be giving a pretty unambiguous signal of both what I think of the people inside and the way that we should treat them?
This absolutely should not have been allowed to go ahead. It is incitement to violence and racial hatred.
How is it an incitement of violence and how is burning a religious text book racial hatred? It's much more akin to how burning a US flag isn't an incitement for violence against its citizen but rather an expression against the country itself or its ideals, or merely to express the freedom itself.
In addition to all the good stuff the other guys says: BOOK BURNING HAS CONTEXT. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_book_burnings?wprov=sfla1
It's a single book, presumably purchased and owned by the person burning it. This is far out of context of cultural genocide.
