I feel, personally, that when it comes to burning of religious texts, it’s kind of like racism. There’s obviously a clear difference between burning an Islamic text and burning a Christian text. And in this case, it’s being done by a fascist.
All the comments are like this BTW, like genuinely ALL.
This is a racism is only punching down kinda take.
You can punch sideways… I guess. What’s your point? Never been good with allusion. I cannot claim to speak to a truly learned understanding of religious and ethnic tensions globally, I speak only from my experience living as a white settler in a white settler-state, one that happens to be ruled in no small part by absolitely insane Christian fascists. Not Muslim ones (despite what my parents have to say about Obama).
What does a non-Muslim in an Islamophobic country burning a Quran signify? Is it ever anything but an affirmation of their hatred of Islam (and Muslims in general?) It serves no one but reactionary-nationalist and anti-immigrant freaks and the fools they’ve duped into giving them money.
I hope you are not alluding to ‘racism’ against white settlers in your assessment of my take. That would be not good.
