Than all believing Muslims are fundamentalists. But we both know that that's not the case. Moderate Muslims per definition don't give shit. Like moderate Christians don't care if you burn a bible. Or I don't care if you burn a biography of Darwin. Sure I will think you are a dumb person to avoid. But ultimately it's up to you, not my business.
Also where do you draw the line? Homosexuality and modern view of women rights is offensive to conservative Muslims. Therefore, I prefer to draw a line at actual direkt harm to other people. Burning books, dumb and provocative - but so is a good portion of art.
It´s not that simple. There is a wide spectrum between feeling offended and reacting with terrorism, don´t you agree?
All kind of folks is offended by all kind of things. The question is rather simple where do you draw the line.
Well I think it´s obvious, the line is where just feeling offended ends and reacting with violence starts, is it not?!?
Now I'm confused about your opinion - since burning Quran does exactly that, offend feelings - no-one is harmed directly.
I starting to think that you will probably never understand the finer nuances of things, sorry ....
Sure buddy.
