its not obvious whether they agree that storming an embassy is bad because they didnt say anything about the matter
this does not sound like you think we should NOT act in a manner that would be considered offensive to another group just to be a dick
it sounds like making excuses, especially for someone complaining about folks making excuses
someone commenting that burning books to provoke violent outrage is vile falls under none of the above
we arent talking about eating unclean food in front of some extremist person, equating the two is disingenuous

I think there is a lot of misunderstanding in this. I will not try to explain everything, because I feel I'm not using the correct words to explain my thoughts.
I will reply to
I was mentioning this example in order to try to explain how appeasement doesn't work with extremists. If burning a book is so offensive that they have a call to arms then I am against them. I don't care what book. It's all paper.
Oh cool. I just assumed that the political climate of his country of origin had something to do with why he was a refugee, but I guess not?
I'm not familiar with all the details of why he was granted refugee status. I just agreed with him on principle. I'm not an edgelord, and I respect everyone's religion in practice. Which is why I am attempting to advocate for his personal creed. Religion is personal and I respect it until someone tries to push their religious laws on someone else.
