    That would be much better served with words than matches.

    It's very late and I'm very tired, but I seem to semi be in agreement with L2PK. Not that the tactic of burning the Qur'an should be adopted. It certainly doesn't strike me as an effective approach to combating irrational belief. Not to mention that it is rather petty, tactically ill-thought out and a probable cause of much collateral damage, including unnecessarily causing offence to many with a very personal belief who pose no threat to our safety or liberty and, as recent events have shown, setting in motion a chain of events that can cause suffering (and death) to wholly innocent bystanders.

    All that said, I do consider that L2PK is correct in his assertion that there can be a place for actions of defiance, in addition to intellectual confrontation, in fighting a foe, especially one who wishes to curtail your freedoms. Maryam has repeatedly stated that, to her, coming out as an "ex-Muslim" is particularly important because it is forbidden and thus by her disobedience she is performing the most effective form of protest. Disobedience, defiance and rebellion are all powerful tools of resistance against oppression, without necessarily requiring concurrent intellectual debate. I can even see situations where burning of books would be a reasonable approach (think Libyans burning copies of the Green Book in defiance of Muammar and friends). However, I'm afraid L2PK, that in this particular struggle, book burning ain't gonna get us anywhere good.

    Has the reason "we should not prevent people from acting stupid when they are not hurting anyone just because someone may act stupid in return by hurting someone" been discussed.

    Spinoza funny.

    Burning a book (or any 'sacred' object for that matter) is not always a bad thing in itself. It all depends on what the purpose and the context of the burning is.

    Is such a burning a simple demonstration of power or is it the exact opposite?

    You don't need a fire to burn the Koran.
