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.

First, let me say that burning a book is a stupid thing to do, especially one that is considered sacred, such as a bible or a koran. Does it justify or excuse murder?
Gracie; are you saying you understand why Muslims would riot and kill innocent people because somebody burned a book?
Really? When has that happened in response to any example you cited, other that the evil people who rioted in Afghanistan and beheaded innocent UN workers?
Burn a book?; kill an innocent? You can't tell me you don't see where the true evil lies.
