The decision follows a recent string of public desecrations of the Quran by a handful of anti-Islam activists, sparking angry demonstrations across Muslim countries.
Why wouldn’t they? It’s just text. It’s not the original Quran. It’s not that big of a deal, but making it a big deal is a violation of the principle of free speech.
It´s is definitely not. Burning something and saying something are two particularly different things
I’d argue Muslims that immigrated from the middle east and having anti-gay parades with other hateful domestic morons is far worse than that.
But why??? I thought you love your holy dogma of free speech so much?

They have completely different messages.
Anti gay parade: Gay people shouldn’t be allowed. We tell you how you should behave.
Book burning: Book burnings must be allowed. Don’t tell us what not to do.
If anti gay parades were without consequence for gay people, or if book burnings would result in harm to muslims, you’d have a point. But only one group out of the two has demands for another, and it’s not the bunch with the lighters.

I will not answer the homophobic parade example though because that is just a feeble derailing attempt …
