To cause hate and violence by christian fundamentalists?
But that doesn’t happen in Western Europe. At least not since the Good Friday Agreement. Bible burnings and other sacrilegious/blasphemic stuff is done frequently here and occasionally you’ll read about some resentful remarks from church officials, but all in all that group reacts a lot calmer.
Black metal fanatics literally burned down medieval churches. Yet I’m not aware ideology motivated Christian attacks on metal fans.
I’m not saying burning books is a polite thing to do, but the ridiculous reaction to it is what worries me.

Besides, it’s simply disgusting to compare the colonialism and the horrors that accompanied it with the economic issues of current international trade relations. You’re belittling victims of actual gencoides here. It’s reminds me a bit of the people who needed to talk about “tyranny” when we had rules against Covid.
