    If I can’t walk down the streets of Tel Aviv dressed like Hitler then there is a problem.

    If I can’t drive through a small town in 'Bama with a ‘I VOTED FOR HILARY’ bumper sticker then there is a problem.

    If I can’t go to a Portland Cider Bar wearing a Make America Great Again hat then there is a problem.

      You keep putting yourself into the position where you GO somewhere. Sure, don’t go to Israel if you’re a Nazi.

      Don’t go to Alabama at all.

      Don’t go to Portland as a supporter of fascism if you don’t want to be labeled as a fascist.

      Don’t go to a 1st world country if you want to cut off people’s heads for burning books. Don’t go to places if you don’t support the principles they’ve carved out there. It’s not that hard.

        Don’t burn holy books if you don’t want sectarian violence.

        But of course the book burners do want violence, that’s the whole point.

          Burning books doesn’t cause any physical harm to anyone. Someone that would hurt other people for burning books doesn’t deserve to live in a first world society. Whether it be the Bible, Quran, Torah, whatever. It doesn’t even matter if they’re baiting people into violence. They’re just proving that these individuals have those insane violent tendencies inside of them.
