I don't know about upholding time honored traditions, seems contradictory and subjective to me when your later stance includes an example of the Quran (another time honored tradition you don't agree with). I don't agree with making it illegal for anyone to attend school so it seems like a double edge sword that's based solely on a personal morality which is hard to codify for an entire population.

I also agree a private protest is no protest at all, but it becomes complicated when you're targeting a religious group's texts just because bad faith actors are using it for control. Even burning their flag seems weird when it's not the people of that country making the decisions but by the administration in charge (I'm not sure on what the target for the protest should be then in that case though).

Constitutionally you have to make a decision, I believe this has been debated and somewhat agreed upon though that access to a happy life (access to healthcare and freedom of religion) is more important than the right to "burn shit" as one has been documented and burning is not mentioned in most or any constitutions. Though freedom of expression is, which again becomes complicated when that expression is wished to be expressed through destruction of property (public/private). Again, I don't have a particular stance on this subject but just pointing out contradictions in the arguments to better understand the ideology behind everyone's thoughts.
