    The Quran is a symbol of hate and oppression for a lot of people (ex-muslims, some LGBTQ people). It’s also true of other religious books, for which I also support public denigration of all kind

      I don’t think you’re going to convince anyone to sympathize with your point of view by burning their favorite things.

      It does not promote harmony. Muslims and Christians etc aren’t throwing gay people off roofs in the West. Live and let live.

        Funny that you must specify in the West. Gay people are dying in many places because of religion. But since it doesn’t happen here (and even then it happens really), it’s all dandy.

          Actually it doesn’t happen in places where fundies regimes haven’t been installed because imperialism wanted to overthrow their government.

      And the Gay Pride flag is a symbol of hate and perversion for the regressive right, do you think their opinion is equally valid? Because they sure as fuck do.
