So now we're defending religious bigots? Now try it with Christians if you want me to believe for a second this has anything to do with nazis
Yes, publicly burning symbols of any religion to incite hate and violence against them should be illegal. This has less to do with the religious feelings of the people and more with their physical safety.
Let book burnings be tolerated and encouraged and the Nazis escalate to attacking people in the streets and then further to murdering the people in their homes. Europe already did that multiple times.
Good point. They might get hurt when they try to kill other people over destruction of property.
YES, freedom of believe is a human right. of course it's to be defended.
Me burning the bible, Quran, Tanakh, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and whatever else there exists to burn, doesn't infringe on your right to believe in it. Freedom of belief doesn't mean it can't be criticised or protested.
