The only reason you are burring the Quran is to incite people. If you feel the need to burn one in the privacy of your home no law is going to stop you and no one will give two shits.

People are doing it strictly to piss off other people. This law makes sense just like a law requiring you to have a muffler on your car.

If you're gonna ban everything that pisses someone off A) not too many things would be legal, and B) there are much better places to start. How about forced updates on Windows?

I agree with you on the updates part. I have a razer keyboard and just wanted to play a game for 20 min before I had to leave for an appointment. Not today though, I was update time and I was going to sit and wait and that's how its going to be! Fuck you auto updates!

That's how it starts. First you bring a lot of them over. Then you make it illegal to burn their book. The book is used to brainwash and to control people. Then they're population will become bigger than the natives. And since they have majority support they will win elections. Once they win elections they will pass Sharia Law and anyone who criticizes will be labeled a racist or worse be killed.

Pretty much yeah, I agree with you. I just don't get how burning a Quran will help any. It's just going to cause pointless violence and it will be used as justification for racisms.

If people want to do something they need to think, organize and vote not burn a book. At the end of the day though I think your right. Majority won't care or act until it's too late. The only hope right now is to severely limit immigration and try and naturalize the influx of people from the last 5 years+. That takes about 3 generations. By the 3rd -4th generation they are too used to the good life.

*Rant

I've seen the naturalization first hand with a family member though marriage. She was very young when she came to Canada. Her parents had fled a genocide and were nothing but grateful to be here. They did a lot to fit in and reciprocate the gift they had been given by coming to this country. That reality was drilled into her (I'm calling her 2nd Gen as she grew up in Canada) from her parents and all of her siblings went on to become doctors and professionals.

But now the 3rd gen, well they have shifted. They drink and party. Pork is on the menu and religion is taking a back seat. They have had a good life with girlfriends and living together outside of marriage and I doubt they would give it up. (The 1st gen are either very old or dead and are rolling in their graves)

As for the 4th gen, they are spoiled beyond belief... they don't aspire to be doctors or lawyers. They are going to make it big like Taylor Swift! It's Tik Tok and Instagram and church is an annoying interruption.

The Quran is not worth anyone's right to free speech and certainly not more important than people's lives. Wrong solution. Denmark should remove any Muslim who did not properly immigrate to their country. And any Muslim who assaults anyone over burning a Quran should be immediately stripped of their Danish citizenship and deported.
