    What about burning crosses on someone’s lawn, or flying Nazi flags? Lmao, they could just not burn the damn book. Usually, people being dicks don’t have a army of people coming to their defence.

    Obviously you don’t care, you aren’t the one being personally attacked so you can just overlook it. But if this happened in a vaccum, you wouldn’t be defending the Nazi burning a Torah infront of a synagogue yet here we are.

    Look, I hate the policies in the middle east as well, but I’m able to differentiate between individuals and governments. This is Muslim hate and nothing else.

      That would be their property, not yours.

        No one is upset about people burning a Koran in their backyard firepit. The example is very similar to what is happening.

        To build on @Jaded’s analogy,

        What about burning a cross on your own front lawn where your Black neighbours have a clear view of it through their own front windows?

      You should stop trying to misrepresent my position, it doesn’t help you at all.

      If an asshole is trying to get a rise by burning things the worst thing to do is to give them what they want. Where I live we have an old guy who regularly flies the confederate flag. He’s a sick old fuck who only wants attention, or better yet, a chance to shoot someone if they try and take the flag down. What can be done?

      The only solution that makes sense is to ignore the loser and not give him the attention he so badly needs.
