Seems logical considering that people who burn it aren't doing it without knowing the repercussions. Not saying the reaction it gets is correct or anything, it just seems to me that it is something being used to trigger reactions while putting other people's lifes at risk.
Codifying religious texts as actually legally sacred and more important than others is wild, though.
It smats of blasphemy laws
I agree. However how do we explain people that are most likely burning books for hate speech/xenophobic reasons that they should stop doing that? This is a really hard subject and I completely agree that passing laws for this can be a slippery slope for other things.
