Swedish embassy in Baghdad stormed, set alight over Koran burning
Hundreds of protesters stormed the Swedish embassy in Baghdad in the early hours of Thursday morning and set it on fire, in a protest against the expected burning of a Koran in Sweden.
So it's not ok to burn a book but it's ok to burn a building.
If I may...
It is not okay to burn your own book but it is okay to burn somebody else's building
Or crash planes into it.

Taking notes
So they have zero confidence in their own god to punish Sweden or coran burners.
I call it "fragile religiosity" or "weak faith".
It's more that conservatives in general think an attack on something they like is a personal attack on themselves.
personally i like burned corns
Religion of peace.
This must have been an unexpected turn of events to everyone.
Are the book's feelings okay?
It is human decency to not mock faiths and their sacred writings, regardless of what you think the truth is. I do not condone or promote these actions, but be prepared to face the consequences if you are going to harm a big proportion of the world's people anyhow.
Everything you say before the but doesn't really matter. Fuck these people. There literally isn't a book you could burn that would offend me in this way. Their magic book doesn't entitle them to throw a hissy fit when people do something they don't like. Full stop.
I will mock any sky-daddyism whenever I feel like it. Oh and your buddy Moe was a pedo criminal who ordered prisoners of war tortured and his personal enemies murdered.
Your irrationality is not immune from criticism just because it is dear to you.
If your world view is based upon a conspiracy theory with little to no backing evidence, you are bound to face mockery.
When you use these theories to suppress the rights of others and act like a barbaric caveman, either conflict arises or you have an ideological dictatorship.
Religion is great at detaching you from reality and your fellow man. Calling it human decency to encourage both of those behaviors is absolutely awful and you should be deeply ashamed.
A value in faith or sacred writings is in no way more "human" than a disdain for the illogical.
I’m all for respecting faiths if those faiths are respectful in return. Everyone is entitled to believe whatever they want; but if your beliefs are outright dangerous, don’t be surprised when you get backlash for it. Sadly Islam has no respect for anyone, not even it’s own followers. There is no place for Islam, Catholicism or any other extreme religion in modern society. Leave that shit in the middle ages.
