How about we don’t offend people? Seems like a good idea to start a tolerant society.
These people hold their religion sacred and love their book, yet you insist on burning it because “muh freedom”
This is deliberate provocation !
Vegans get offended when people eat meat. Should we ban meat eating right away, or do we wait until the vegans get violent and threaten with terror attacks?
Isn't being tolerant about accepting that some people see things a different way and allowing them to live the life they want to live? Provided that they don't hurt others while doing so?
I agree that the quran burnings are deliberate provocations, and that's why they do it. If everybody just said "Meh, what a disrespectful cunt" and moved on, the burnings would stop in no time.
I don't want the disrespectful burnings to continue, but I also don't want that laws should be dictated by people who threaten with violence unless the laws are changed. Tricky situation to say the least.
Sweden is a secular state. You can practice your religion at home, but when you're out and about your religion does not exist.
Also religion is only sacred to lunatics and terrorists.
Does being secular warrant being an asshole?
Religion is important to them, respect it
As I said - keep your religion to your home, then it will be respected.
Religion isn’t something you keep at home, religion is a belief. Insulting their beliefs hardly qualifies as tolerance!
