It’s not cause you give “distress” to believers when you burn a Quran.
It’s because people who burns a Quran does it to create distress to the country on its own.
In Sweden they did it for years and nobody cared much. We went in hybrid war with Russia and suddenly everybody wanted to burn the book and on the other side everybody wanted to burn down the city cause the government protected the guy.
You don’t burn a Quran cause we do not want be targeted from Russia, China and Iran.
I think this oped is also related to the fact that a few days ago, Hamit Coskun attempted to burn a copy of the Quran in front of the Turkish Consulate in London, ostensibly to protest President Erdogan’s efforts to introduce Shariah Law to Turkey. He was attacked by a man welding a knife and knocked to the ground. He has his court hearing scheduled in May, but the man who attacked him, Moussa Kadri, will appear in court later today, charged with causing actual bodily harm and possessing an offensive weapon. After the attack, he argued that he was defending his religion. It will be interesting to see how the British legal system resolves this situation amid rising tensions related to public protest in UK.
