Book burning is always wrong, no matter how revolting the book may be.

Explain why it is "always" wrong"?

Would it have been wrong for Jews to burn Mein Kampf during WW2?

WTF is wrong with this country?

There is a very small part of me that wants this to escalate thing twenty fold. Let the radical muslims declare fatwa against all non believers, all out war between Muslim vs. Christian. Just to settle it once and for all. I’m sick of jibber jabbering from both sides. Let’s decide this now.

But it will not happen. Want to know why? Muslims know they would get their asses handed to them. They are cowards. But they are also smart. They realize if the liberal agenda is allowed to continue, they can take over without firing a shot. The libs will hand over the keys willingly.

Because burning a book is the equivalent of saying, “Shut up” instead of making the case that the ideas in that book have no merit.

That’s why.

If Jews had burned copies of “<ein Kampf” during WWII, would it have saved even one of them from the Nazi’s ovens?

I don’t think so...
