I'm all about freedom of speech but what if it was American police who allowed someone to burn the Bible on Easter or Christmas outside of a church?

What are y'all's thoughts? I think this was very disrespectful and he should have been removed.

Freedom of speech is a 2-way street. I don't like the burning of the Quran any more or less than the Bible. But it be what it be

Now he is complaining that the Swedish government isn't protecting him. Lol this is one of those "live with the consequences scenarios.

The Iraqi immigrant who burned the Koran, Salvan Momika, is complaining that the Swedish government is not providing him with adequate protection, so now he fears for his life. If anyone knows a reliable report on this guy, his bio and associates, please share. pic.twitter.com/36tncNvJPx

I'm just curious, does a person in the United States currently need police permission to burn a bible? I mean, aside from any fire laws.

It won't surprise me if he ends up dead. And this guy isn't helping. Christians will get pissed off, but in this day and age most won't kill you.

My thoughts are freedom of speech is too important to worry about hurting someone's feels for burning a Koran or a Bible.

Also. Burning a Bible doesn't affect me at all. The physical Bible itself is just a book, the story it tells of Jesus is the important part. And burning the book itself has no affect on the Good News.

Jvla runt och ta reda p det

Burning or no burning, same outcome. The northern migration is set up to conquer, not assimilate.

What?
Since when does the police decide whether you can burn a Bible or Koran?

Also, just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Unless there is a burn ban, why should they stop thee burning of a personally purchased Bible?

US Constitution and Bill of Rights doesn't cover a non American citizen in a foreign country. Sweden can do what they want about it. It's their country. Gonna take a bunch more action than just a few guys burning Qurans to deal with the invasion going on currently in Western Europe by Islamic 'migrants'. France is the canary in the coal mine.

God will sort it all out in due time. St. Peter will have a special line for folks who burn Bibles. Smoking or Non Smoking.

If there is no ordinance against starting a fire, and no safety issues, of course they should be allowed to burn a bible outside a church on Easter.

That is the essence of freedom of speech.

I say that as a Christian.

Should he be able to burn it? Yes.

Should he? I can't see a reason why.

I agree with most thoughts here after thinking about it.

Can you do it? Yes.

The public will provide their own consequences.

I'm so upset over this, wait... I'm not.

When the world used to have decency I wouldn't tolerate it but now I sure as hell won't even blink an eye as people **** on anything and everything I care or love.

Does anyone complain if I delete a pdf of the bible or quaran? Why is the method of destruction so important to religious folks? Burning = deletion = destruction, in this context. Why is it 'disrespectful' to burn something vs destroying it by throwing it in a trash compactor? Why do some religious folks think that the government should get involved?

Getting big gubment involved always ends up with less liberties for citizens.

Well, and depending on what consequences the public doles out, "the public" could find itself on the wrong sign of the law

It's is not illegal to burn a book

It is illegal to assault someone in response

Why do people care when someone who isn't their religion disrespects their religion?

Be stronger in your faith, turn the other cheek, go about your business. It shouldn't have one iota of effect on you.

Use it as a teaching opportunity. I guarantee you're much more likely to teach someone the love of Christ by turning the other cheek as compared to reacting negatively in the manner that they are trying to provoke.

I'm big fan of "**** around and find out"

As a Buddhist I could care less what anyone says. If they disrespect the Buddha's teachings that's their problem not mine. They won't be damned or anything like that..it's just their loss.

So, it's really silly to get upset with people that hate your religion burning your holy book. If someone has enough time on their hands to buy a Quran, the Kingford and matches, and then feel the need to burn a holy book, that person has enough problems and probably isn't a threat to your religion.

Sometimes we will hear "If you meet the Buddha along the road, kill him." I take this to mean to not necessarily disrespect the teachings but to remember not to be consumed with dogma and miss the forest for the trees.

No you're not; if those San Fran Devient Nuns had their asses kicked by someone who took offense to their protected speech, you'd have a hissy fit.

And by "hissy fit" I mean you'd start another troll topic.

Whether or not he did something provocative is irrelevant to the fact that a free society cannot allow or tolerate violence or threats of violence in an attempt to suppress free expression. The reaction he's getting only serves to prove his point.

What's a troll topic vs regular topic in F16?

Well, they do call themselves the Religion of Peace, I guess he thought it would be alright.

So, when are they going to print the Death Cult good book on a 2-ply and roll it onto a cardboard cylinder?

Police "allowed?" Does the Constitution allow it? Are you really for freedom of speech?

Literally, a terrible OP.
