Publicly and demonstratively burning symbols of minority groups is a clear threat and call to hate against them.

Its literally the correct way to dispose of the quoran...

And limiting free speech in certain cases is one thing, but burning shitty fantasy novels is always allowed. This includes Thora burnings. Its literally stated that its allowed because of religious freedom. Just ask some ex Muslims about how they feel about this. Its also not racist because Islam isn't a race.

And no, burning shitty fantasy novels isn't a attack towards a group of people, if anything it states the disagreement with their beliefs, wich in itself cant be illegal due to free speech and religious freedom.

Furthermore, yes "islam" as in the Islamic theocratic countrys, do demand shit.
