# i cant see there's much difference between this and draw muhammed day.
I suppose this is motivated by hatred of muslims and draw muhammed day was motivated by outrage at the actions of offended muslims. But both are designed to cause offence.
(, Wed 8 Sep 2010, 11:07, archived)
# Well I'm guessing that the author of the book, 'Islam is the Devil' is doing it through hate.
While I have no problem with Muslims lot allowing pictorial depiction of Muhammed I do a problem with not being allowed to do it myself. If I was muslim I would adhere to this tenet but as I'm not them have no say in what I do.
(, Wed 8 Sep 2010, 11:10, archived)
# Well put. Non-muslims are free to draw Muhammad, or burn as many Qur'ans as they wish,
but making a public show of it is just irresponsible and deliberately provocative (just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should).

Regardless, book burning? Really? He's putting himself in some good company.

Edgy satire is probably best left to the professionals, rather than the lunatic fringe of any of the major religions.

# I'm not for one minute suggesting he is doing it satirically. He's clearly a cunt.
But what if he was trying to cause offence to draw attention to the ridiculousness of religious belief or for another motive other than pure hatred?

# If that were the case,
then he might want to find a better method of expressing himself.
"I wish to ridicule your beliefs" is a fine sentiment, but "I wish to ridicule your beliefs in the most outrageous way possible, causing the maximum of offence and using methods normally reserved for intolerant, oppressive regimes" is less laudable.

Perhaps he could arrange a sit down between a rabbi, an imam, himself and a leading atheist to discuss the issues in a full and frank manner? No fire, and likely a more positive outcome, when they realise that they all have more in common than they thought.

That said, if he wants to burn Richard Dawkins, I'll chip in some petrol money.

# I'm all for a bit of ridicule, but when you come to
"See this *book/flag/dvd* that you hold holier than holy? Look, I'm setting fire to it!" then you've probably crossed a line.

Personally, unless their burning a living thing*, or some irreplaceable object, then I don't really give a shit, but empathy is a useful facet of the human condition.
