An Iraqi man who carried out several Quran burnings in Sweden has been killed

His schtick was grifting and being as racist as possible against brown people. This blatant racism is unacceptable in any way. We do not see Muslims mass burning Torah's because they hate Israel either nor should they be doing that.

This is straight up Nazi rhetoric. but because it is against Islam it is accepted in most Western countries. Even part of the more liberal establishment will defend it.

This man will be slightly more missed than the United Healthcare CEO.

do you have any proof of him being racist?

I hope he burns in hell with his Israeli friends

I dont know, the Swedish police's slowness to convict Paludan and Momika of hate speech doesn't really justify some random vigilante (or Turkish spy) going and giving him the death penalty. Kinda outside the paradox of tolerance here.

THEY CAN’T KILL US ALL

You'd be surprised how efficient and streamlined capital punishment is in the middle east.

[shizu@lemmy.world]

Obviously I am not talking about the ME.

[fxomt@lemm.ee]

Then sorry. I thought so due to him being Iraqi, concern of him being deported and executed, and his reason for burning the Qur'ans originally.

[plastic_ramses@lemmy.world]

Nah fuck that, If muslims cant handle it they should look the other way like they do when women are stoned to death for showing their hair.

What exactly more than a religion is it?

[fantasticdonkey@reddthat.com]

Thanks, while we’re at it let’s burn some books by Jewish authors too.

See what I did there? Burning books is never a good look on you.

Thanks for generalizing 1.5bn people, Ben Affleck

not sure what you think the bible is

[shezzagrad@lemmy.ml]

Because that's be antisemetic and how dare you to anything against the Jewish people, don't you know European persecuted them so the entire world now can't anything to them due to white guilt

[yesman@lemmy.world]

[splinter@lemm.ee]

Are you saying his killing was justified?

[fantasticdonkey@reddthat.com]

Your point being?

[fantasticdonkey@reddthat.com]

Yeah tbh as a Muslim it’s pretty tiring and offensive to read all of that shit when most of us are just busy living our lives like everyone else. And we’re here on the supposedly progressive and liberal Lemmy…

There's burning all the copies of a book from the local library so no one has a chance to read them, and there's burning one copy of a book which as an estimated 100 million copies printed per year as a protest.

To some the Quran is as hateful as Mein Kampf, and you know what people say about tolerance of intolerance. You may not agree, and you may think books should never be burned. I am on the fence on that. But I do know people who burn books shouldn't be assassinated. And people shouldn't live in fear of reprisals for speaking out against any religion and its teachings.

Wait, are you suggesting that its a bad idea to generalize what a billion plus people living in vastly different places and situations believe? /s
