    If someone, or some group, wants to constantly provoke a certain religion as a result of cultural racism, then they have demonstrated that they have no place in the modern world

    Fixed it for you, you´re welcome :)

      No. If you get provoked too easily, and respond violently, you are the asshole.

      Terrorism as a response to burning some paper is a good example.

        They do not get provoked particularly easily - on the contrary! You omit that the particular book that the hateful inciters are burning publicly on a weekly basis now is not “some paper” but the most holy item in the world for a lot of people. So burning it obviously equals incitement. I can´t believe you really don´t understand these trivial things?!

          But it’s just paper to me. They don’t get to enforce onto me what is and isn’t sacred. That’s the point of burning it. I can’t believe you don’t understand this trivial thing.

            They don´t. You are free to burn any books you want privately, you can heat your home with Qur’ans if you choose to and nothing will happen. Just don´t do it publicly to intentionally incite hate and violence - pretty simple isn’t it?

            Oh and by the way, Islamist terrorism is in the first place a response to decades of fossil-colonialism and exploitation of the Muslim world by the imperialist west. You are aware where the energy and plastic for our comfortable life comes from right? Right?

              In my religion, tobacco is sacred. Anyone who is smoking cigarettes are provoking violence.

              Idiotic.

              What if I want to prove to them that the laws they try to enforce on others don’t effect me? Burning some paper seems like the most harmless way to make that point.

                Honestly? Who tried to enforce their laws on you and how? Please share the story with us and also let us know how burning a Quran saved you from that. Also, burning holy books incites violence so obviously it is anything else but harmless and you and the Quran burners know it, it´s the real reason why they do it and probably why you defend it. the sole reason they do it is to fuel hate and violence between cultures. Stop pretending it´s about your freedom.

                    I don´t care at all personally since I have been an atheist my whole life. I would dislike the hate and violence that would probably be ignited by your actions though.
