Bro your point doesn't make sense.

Praying in public is a threat to nobody.

Burning holy books or symbols of ethnic or religious minorities is a potential attempt to cultivate hate among the masses.

Just look at this comment section, people here pretend that this burning is a proof of every Islamophobic talking point that they have ever read about in some schizo Youtube comments.

Free speech stops when it has the potential to severly restrict the freedom of other people's lifes imo. This applies more or less to pretty much every Western country.

One could argue whether or not this is the case here, but having the police escort and protect the madmen while they burn the Quran, is just beyond free speech under any definition.

We Middle Easterners can be way more racist and nationalistic than some drunk skinhead losers in Europe. That guy seems to be the type that browses r/AskMiddleEast or r/exmuslim. Maybe some guy from a broken family, daddy issues or whatever, I am not his psychotherapist lol. Fact is tho, that Nazis use this story as validation and that his supporters are mostly fascists as well.

"Social experiment" was in response to the commenters that claimed that the Quran burning was simply an experiment to expose "the true nature of the religion of peace".

If you don't share this view, then I am sorry for misrepresenting your opinion. "Social experiment" was not meant to be a quote.

These Iraqis are not Swedish citizens. The book burning is happening in Sweden. I don't agree with the violent response by these hooligans in Iraq and they should be held responsible. There is no rule of law in Iraq, so no idea how Iraqi authorities will respond.

But the book burning should not have happened in the first place, not because of the reaction in Iraq, but because it is not something a civilised society should condone.

I will not comment on this any further. These are my thoughts on this topic.

Is praying publicly the same for you as burning the Quran? I don't see the similarity.

Arguing which religious scripture is worse is a useless excercise imo.

I don't argue against criticism of the Quran. Even in Iraq, there are many people, that publicly do this.

Burning the Quran is not a critique and is not an invitation of a civil discussion. It is a declaration of extreme hate. Assuming anything different is just being overly charitable to a bunch of literal neo-Nazis.

Muslims in Sweden probably don't love this move either.

Should Swedes also support demonstrations, where Muslim Swedes burn Bibles, Torahs, LGBTIQ+ flags etc, as long as they cite "freedom of speech" and or wanting to do a "social experiment" as their primary motivation?

Burning books associated exclusively with certain ethnic groups is obviously Nazi behaviour.

It has happened in the past with the Jews. History is just repeating itself. Terrorists and Nazis are the same shit.

Labeling the Quran burning as a "social experiment" does not make it better. The people involved are not tolerant humanists, who work towards a better future. They simply want to spread their hate.

That's how I see it as well.
