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!

jsr7908I actually do think that at some point people will stop being upset. I think the reason the reaction is so strong is because it’s quite shocking it’s shocking because it’s not common, or rather wasn’t common. If they see this happening more, and people keep throwing tantrums, if it becomes clear that tantrums will not change the laws of other countries, the result will likely be that they will stop the violent reactions and pretend that the violence never happened.
I think what will cause this change i attitude is pride, if they realize their reactions are impotent, the reactions themselves become shameful and will further expose their impotence, and in turn, only reflect poorly on the tantrumers.
To save face one will pick some new thing to be upset about and pretend like no one was really upset about the first thing, or at least not as upset as they actually were.
Maybe I am naive, but save for something truly terrible happening I believe this is a feasible outcome, just like we see in the west where for example the “goalpost” has moved from homo marriage to trans issues, as one became an obvious lost cause.
Very few people will today stick to the anti-gay stance that was popular before, and many will not even admit they held it.
