Why the fuck do they keep allowing this. It is one of the most extreme forms of provocation there is and it has obviously only one goal, to fuel hate and violence between Muslims and the west! Publicly desecrating the most holy symbol of any world religion will always spark hate and probably violence and that is why these malicious people do it. It has nothing to do with free speech or rational expression of oneself, all they want to achieve is that people from different communities hate and hurt each other instead of cooperating. Why canΒ΄t people just show at least a little respect for each other?!
Do you really want the state to recognize some things as sacred? Where do we start and where do we stop?
Fair question. Actually I don't want things to be considered sacred by the state at all. Separation of state and religion is one of the biggest cultural achievements and the basis of a tolerant society imo. However that does in no way make it ok to publicly disrespect peoples personal believes in obviously malicious ways.
How about we stop at obviously malicious attempts of incitement to intercultural hate and violence?
Is such an incitement not an offense in Sweden already? I know it is in France for example.
Burning the Quran is such an incitement and it seems to be a popular weekend activity in Sweden ...
It should be a popular weekend activity in every civilised country.
Inciter ...
