    I’ve seen left wing people burn books too. Most notably Harry Potter books in the last few years.

    Obviously there’s a philosophical question about whether the Quaran should have more protections as a “holy book”, but it’s something that runs the gamut these days.

      I don’t believe critique of JK Rowling is left wing extremism although book burning as a form of consumer boycott seems to be rather counterproductive.

      are Potterheads a persecuted minority that face violence up to systematic murder in Europe? I dont think so. Meanwhile muslim people or people being deemed as muslims or “brown” are subject to extensive discrimination, hatred and violence.
