      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.

          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?
