Hello, Protestant German here. I’m hearing a lot about the infamous Quran burnings in Sweden, and find it very strange. To me it’s fighting fire with fire, and as Muslims are very religious I can imagine it hurts them a lot.
Can someone help me understand how this makes sense?
Maybe I don’t have the full picture. Thank you!

jsqgnfsPragmatism in the face of religious fanaticism is a ticket to a ride that will end up in a society more akin to that of Iraq than that of a free and liberal democracy. Some things we just can’t tolerate, and eroding the scope of our freedom of speech in favor of religious oppression is 100% worse than whatever the poor working class people of Iraq can do unto us.
A single life is not more important than the basic tenets of our society (not even 10 or 20 lives), we fought bloody wars with tens of thousands of casualties in the past in order to not have outside powers dictate what we can and can’t do in our own territory - to meet the potential terrorists halfway is to admit defeat in the face of the most rudimentary adversity.
The job of our government is to safeguard our national sovereignty, and when foreigners attempt to supplant said sovereignty it’s our governments job to stand firm and uphold OUR values. We JUST CANT bow down to this, and if the road to muslim acceptance of quran burnings is paved with violence and blood then so be it - blaming US for that is like blaming women for being assaulted and raped.

jsqh49uInteresting. While I strongly disagree to parts here I also think we reached the end of the line here. Appreciate your time and responses.
