Dude ... here is this book ... we know that millions of people consider the most holy thing in the world. What do we do with it? Obviously coming up with the idea to publicly burn such book is as malicious as it gets.
Not even close to malicious as it gets. That brain dead take is the point of burning it.
If you think burning paper is as malicious as it gets, where do you place mass killings and terrorism on your maliciousness scale?
So publicly burning a certain paper that is the most holy item to millions of people in the world with the sole intent of provoking them by desecration is not malicious? ROFL you can´t be serious, you must be a shill for sure.
Cheap attempt to derail from the actual topic of malicious public Quran burning. Those things are on a whole different level and not part of the discussion here.
You said "malicious as it gets". So can you please answer the question?
You mean that hypocritical question?
Obviously calling mass killings malicious is a diminution and I would strongly refuse doing so because of that. Mass killings are obviously far beyond malicious, more like really fucking evil. Terrorism is another topic because it depends very much on perspective since one persons terrorist is another persons freedom fighter. However the actual question here seems to be why it is so important to you to derail from the actual topic of the discussion, which is the malicious public burning of holy symbols of a world religion to intentionally create more hate and violence in a world that already has way too much of it.
You keep using the word malicious, so in order to move forward, I feel we need to get a sense of your maliciousness scale.
So, punching someone in the face, more or less malicious then burning some paper?
I hope it´s not too sophisticated for you to grasp but the answer to your question depends on context ...
So in this context, answer it.
But you did not provide any. Who is punching who in the face and why? Is it an unprovoked attack or self defense? Who is burning what kind of papers? is it done in private or in public? Does the person who burns the papers own the papers or are the someone else's? Do you even context bro?
Physical violence to another human, versus burning some paper. That's it.
Then I can´t believe you are seriously asking this. Obviously violence against living beings is magnitudes worse than violence against things.
Ok great, we're getting somewhere. You keep calling burning some paper malicious like it's super bad, so we gotta clarify.
Next calibration question. Which is more malicious, calling someone a name, or burning some paper?
You are the only one who needs clarification of such trivial things and I don´t feel like spending time for these kindergarten questions of yours ...
