This is in defence of Article 9 of the European Convention of Human Rights. Do not forget: this includes EVERYONE.
As I see, it describes that freedom of religion shall be protected. It says nothing about harming what other religions may or may not consider to be sacred.
is that just an excuse to burn down any temples. Be it a church or a sock exchange.
That is arson, and illegal.
Unless it is your own property, like those books.
And burning things in public is dangerous, which means it shouldn't be allowed.
Yes, that includes cigarettes, they cause fires.
And if this was a general law against burning things in public you might have a point but it is not and the issue would be exactly the same if they had used some other means to deface and destroy it.
