    If Sweden was outright banning the Qur’an, I could understand how that would be a violation of Free Speech and thus problematic. But that is not what is happening, it’s just one dude burning his own copy of the Qur’an. How could that be a problem? I’m an atheist and wouldn’t bat an eye if somebody purchases a copy of The Origin of Species and set it on fire.

    What we can’t do is kneel down to the particular sensitivities of a particular group of people just because they have built the habit of committing (or supporting) acts of violence when somebody does something they don’t like. Your religion imposes rules on what you can do, not me.

    Tough titties. The Swedish government doesn’t have the mandate to rule in matters of fate (or a lack thereof). Also, people hated your religion long before you chose to adopt it; nothing about this should come as a surprise and you’ve had plenty of time to learn how to deal with it in a levelheaded manner.
