Even less good of a reason to ban the burning of it. I'd rather we meet those people head-on than bow to them.
Except that's not the tack most of the world is taking. Most of the world is just waiting, hoping the extremist elements will fade and go away, and accept the massacres as they come, for fear that doing anything about them will ignite a holy war 100x as bad.
Such people have done the math. They know we're in for several hundred Bataclan/Pulse shootings, and a few dozen 9/11s. If that's only 200,000 people- even if all of them are innocent children, they're okay with that.
Honestly, though, burning Qurans is kind of stupid. Book burnings are showy, but they mostly make the guy doing the burning look like a cretin and creates sympathy for the censored work. You know, the Streisand Effect. I'm anti-Islam because of my knowledge of early Islamic history, and I think educating people on the Quran, Hadiths, and Sira/Sura (forgot the exact name?) is the best way to explain the fundamental problems with the religion.
Book banning / burning has been done by extremists of all varieties. The intent is always the same: to erase alternative philosophies and stifle individualism. Bolsheviks did it, Brownshirts did it, McCarthyists did it. Hell, even wussy liberals did it with
Huckleberry Finn.
Tends to be that the people who are most pro-Islam (who aren't Muslims, of course) are the least knowledgeable about it.
The Leftists' obsession with painting Muslims as victims is bizarre. Most mainstream "moderate" versions of Islam are hideously conservative, abusive of women and intensely xenophobic of non-Muslims. Courting illegal aliens makes much more sense: at least such a group of people represent a vast potential voting bloc.
