The only reason anyone would publicly burn any religious book in public would be to create a reaction. I don't necessarily agree with banning it but no one does it just for a laugh.
There are many reasons to burn a book. One is to display criticism.
And I would argue it is not an effective way to critique religion.
I'd argue the opposite. People really came out of the woodwork to show everyone just how unhinged and violent their illness makes them.
