  • I’m sorry, but your parallel shows how you’ve got this wrong.

    It’s ok to demonstrate against Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and even countries like Russia, China, or USA.

    It is NOT ok to demonstrate against Muslims, Jews, bhuddists, or Russians, Chinese, or Americans.

    The KKK marching in white robes are classed as hate speech, because they hate a group of people.

    Burning the Qur’an is not hate speech because it shows a hatred for Islam, not Muslims.

    If we start to ban stuff like this we’re heading towards a slippery slope we don’t want to go down.

    HOWEVER, I believe you could see it more as hate speech when it’s obviously directed at, for example, Turkish people when you burn it outside their embassy. And that’s what this discussion should be about, because it’s a whole different thing burning the Qur’an at “plattan” in central Stockholm compared to outside a countries’ embassy. I haven’t paid much attention to Rasmussen either, but if his intent is “Muslims are bad” instead of “limit amount of refugees”, I believe that can be classified as hate speech as well.
