    Yeah no i 100% think that religion needs less protections. People need protections. People are not their religions, so if i make fun of islam or judaism, that is not and shouldnt be considered racist or hate speech. Religious people love crying about minority oppression, when in reality its always been religious people that have oppressed others.

      Atheists, like me, have been very oppressed throughout history and it’s still illegal to be atheist in a bunch of places. You should absolutely be allowed to make fun of everyone of course and everyone should be given the benefit of the doubt. It’s just specifically this case of burning the Quran that can’t be considered anything else than being intentionally hostile towards muslims.
