    That act was meant to be provocative as a form of protest. Would they get the same reaction from burning a Bible or a Torah? That’s what they were trying to show I guess

      Successfully starting some shit does not make the provocation better. It’s still someone shouting ‘fuck all minorities!’ to paint a strong reaction as retroactive justification.

      And there’s a lot of places in Europe where burning a Torah to say ‘fuck all Jews!’ probably should get a strong reaction.
