    and threaten them with death when they don’t.

    You mean… except for that entire colonialism thing, huh?

    These provocations make sense as long as the other side takes offense for so little

    Go burn Bibles in public, then… we’ll see how long it takes the christo-fascists to show up at your door. Somehow, I don’t think you will.

    The article sheds no light on what the actual motives of these particular protesters are.

    Don’t have to… it’s very easy to tell what they are. And it seems plenty of people are willing to run interference for these nazis - as long as they can be aimed at Muslims, of course.

      that entire colonialism thing

      Not entirely sure what you meant with this short remark. I oppose colonialism for the same reason I oppose people who impose their belief on others. Because I support each and everyone’s human rights.

      Go burn Bibles in public, then… we’ll see how long it takes the christo-fascists to show up at your door. Somehow, I don’t think you will.

      Can you point me to any incident in the past where burnt bibles lead to angry mobs, setting buildings on fire or killing people? I’m not aware this exists. If that was a thing, I would fully support burning bibles, although I’m personally not.

      willing to run interference for these nazis - as long as they can be aimed at Muslims

      I understand your concern but I’m not in that camp, on the contrary. There are more sides to this story. There is a significant overlap between the reasons for me being antifascist and the reasons for opposing imposing beliefs.

      You could be right in this case, we don’t know.

        I oppose colonialism for the same reason I oppose people who impose their belief on others.

        And these nazis burning the Quran purely to strengthen the colonialist and white supremacist attitude of the west towards the middle-east and people of middle-eastern descent doesn’t qualify as “imposing their belief on others?”

        Can you point me to any incident in the past where burnt bibles

        No, I can’t… which is the whole point.

        Christians aren’t acceptable “others” in the west, are they? But Muslims certainly are. So the nazis can’t get you on their side by burning Bibles, can they? But it’s an entirely different matter when it comes to those people who don’t “look like us,” isn’t it?

        There are more sides to this story.

        Yeah… I’d say you need to be checking which side you are falling on. You won’t like your bedmates.
