    I guess if it happens, this is the point the anti-islam activists were trying to prove and if anybody is injured it will increase the racism against islamic groups, which was what anti-islam activists wanted. Iterate

      It really is an almost impossible situation. The far right will win this one regardless what the government does. If they do nothing we will probably see some form of terrorism sooner or later, if they clamp down on it they will prove the activists right in that the government will reduce freedom of speech just because some muslims cant behave.

      Maybe theres some way to eke out a win but I cant see it.

        Since the spiral of escalation is made of a disconsiderate small escalation (book burning) and a disproportionate large escalation (terrorism), I’d argue most of the onus for a destabilisation lies with terrorists and giving in arbitrarily sets a bad example for any other communities e.g. “hey, the only way any of these people will do what we want is with violence”.

        I like Finland’s solution: throw public book burning together with “hate speech” or threatening people in public laws (since these guys know they’re doing this to both threaten and tease Muslims in public) and this way you’re not favouring Muslims for having a few unhinged idiots who are willing to go too far beyond every other community’s unhinged idiots.

        Thank you, if you can explain the difference for natural languages (not programming languages), I’ll replace it :)

        PS: According to an English dictionary, the words are synonymous, but fuck it 🤓 : by analogy to programming languages, I assume that iterate here would be “repeat this sentence” and recurse would be “go to beginning of sentence”, yes?
