If I bought a book and didn’t agree with it or enjoyed reading it, I could bin it or throw it on the bonfire at the allotment. I could even offer it to someone on here who might enjoy it . I wouldn’t go out into the street and set fire to it. But you COULD burn it in the street without fear of being stabbed IF you wanted,so yes same logic,your book your property do whatever you want with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why don’t they go to a “Free Palestine “ march and punch Jeremy Corbyn ? That would get them the attention and notoriety they crave ? Because basically it’s easier to burn a book. Im of the opinion that the vast knowledge we have is because people wrote it down. Burn all the books and the next step is controlling what we read on the ‘net ! No, read books, make your own mind up if you agree or disagree with them. We are being controlled enough without removing the freedom to read what we want to read ! Cheers. I disagree, the chances are in this Christian culture the burning of a Koran can put your life at risk , we've spent millions of taxpayer money on security for the likes of Rushdie. The cartoonists in France executed for cartoons of Mohammad. Teachers killed and threatened. I feel it sums up where Europe has gone in the last 20 years. I don't advocate book burning but everyone is fine with burning British and American flags and alike they do it in the UK unchallenged Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Goly 1,773 Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 It is clear that he was trying to cause a scene and make a statement, he got what he asked for didn't he. How many on here would be comfortable at a Muslim burning the bible on the street, we'd all be calling for his head. I can recall famous celebrities calling for Sinead O'Connor's head when she tore the picture up of the Pope, Joe Pesci being one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't be calling for a Muslim's head. I would want him to clear the litter up. Thats all. We live in a free( ish) society. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, because the vast majority are too cowardly or not bothered enough. I can guarantee that if the video was shared on here there would be calls for him to get a good kicking, the same on FB. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 47,967 Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 I don’t think the question should he or shouldn’t he burn books, I think the question is why is he getting attacked with a knife for doing it in a European Christian country ? 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
