Hundreds of protesters stormed the Swedish embassy in Baghdad in the early hours of Thursday morning and set it on fire, a source familiar with the matter and a Reuters witness said, in a protest against the expected burning of a Koran in Sweden.

So, burning books is worse than setting a building on fire, potentially endangering many people's lives? Wow.

You sure are an advocate of good and justice, never met someone so righteous and rational before ๐Ÿ™„.

Two wrongs dont make a right. And someone beating you up after you insulted him does not make it right for you to have insulted him in the first place.

That is stuff already taught in kindergarten...

Two wrongs? So to you a book is as important as lives then. Move along zealot, the adults are talking.

Nowhere did i say that or imply that. The swedish authorities failed, as they allowed the book burning. That does not make the burning of the embassy right. But justifying the book burning with a false comparision like you do is obviously motivated by your bigotry against muslims.

Projection from someone who equates books to lives. Again, like I already said. There's no discourse to be had with a zealot, so move along.

You keep telling yourself that burning buildings is fine, I'm sure you'll enjoy prison.
