Nonsense. the basis of my original message is very clear and this is what it said "Nothing good is ever achieved by burning books, but if you are looking to be well hated, and want a bit of notoriety, go ahead. Ideas and ideologies cannot be destroyed by fire."

So tell me which bit of that actually says
it's wrong to be bigoted against religion and to make public displays of it
However, you don't seem willing to apply that same basis toward other instances of anti-religious bigotry. It's not clear how or why you would distinguish different instances of it.
Because my objection is about the symbolism of burning books. I don't care which books.
So, if this person who planned on burning the Qu'ran told everyone that it was just art, you wouldn't have a problem with it, regardless of how people responded to it?
I have no idea. I somehow doubt this person considers what he was going to do art. Can you confirm otherwise?

What knowledge would be lost or destroyed if he carried this out?
you know, every time I bother to type a response at you I just wonder why. This was a symbolic book-burning action, and it's intent was inciteful, either to rally others to an evil cause, or to bring others together with a common purpose that is detrimental to humankind. A man with lies and hatred in his heart, and malice to those who are not like him.

He should crawl back under his rock, and there should be a special place in hell for those who burn books.
