There is no way to compare the two factions.

It is just a book.
But to all of us, some inanimate objects mean a lot of very sacred things.
Destruction of those "things" can bring us to tears or anger.
A wedding ring, an American Flag, a Bible, a first Communion book, a rosary, pictures of our children, pictures of our parents who are gone, a cross, ...a star of David...
If any of those things were destroyed JUST because of hatred, it would make the owner want to fight.
My point was originally that this book, THIS book was burnt just to incite attention and to begin a huge fiasco that could have been avoided.
It goes against anything I have learned that is right.
