stupid misleading headline! The bill covers not only the quran but the public burning of all books with importance for religious groups.
The law criminalizes the "inappropriate treatment of writings with significant importance for a recognized religious community."
Great, it's still a stupid and insane law. Prohibit ALL public burnings of books? Ok I think it's stupid, but whatever. But only protect those with religious significance? This is just an awful precedence.
Religions don't deserve respect, because they don't respect others. Nevermind the fact that they are essentially fables and folklore told by adults.
Prohibit ALL public burnings of books? Ok I think it’s stupid, but whatever.
I'm OK with prohibited public burnings for the purpose of fire safety, I guess. Beyond that, I don't think I'd want to limit free speech in this manner.
Exactly it's dumb, but restricting it just to religious texts is even dumber.
