"Finally, why do you assume that it is just the act of burning the book which causes this response. Look, I'm a woman. The Koran is a lawbook as much as a religious text to those who believe in Shariah Islam. I don't believe those laws are right. I don't believe that women should be forced to go veiled. I don't believe that adulterers should be executed, or that homosexuals should be crushed to death. I don't believe that a woman's testimony in a court of law should be outweighed by that of a man. "

I completely agree with all of those things. Sharia Law is just as dangerous as Christian Dominionism is. The people who want to overturn freedoms for a book of laws that was written centuries ago and has no relevance today, that's treading down a dangerous road. Like I said earlier - it's not just Islam or Christianity, but all religions have are responsible for some truly evil shit associated with them. I'm not limiting it to just one.

I'm actually doing some research now on foreign hate speech laws, and I'm going to post a thought-out response to all of this tomorrow.
