I think you are on to something... also to note, it seems this Dove church isn’t who we think they are.. they are fans of Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist nuts.

I had red flags about this early on.
In our society and culture, burning of books never is associated with opposition (like flag burning), its common association is with powers that be hiding knowledge or suppressing information. No one in our culture usually thinks “I am going to oppose that religion or enemy so I will burn his books”. Instead, book burnings archetypal associations are of 1984 and Fahrenheit 451.
Book burnings and bannings also don’t result in rallying enemies, what it does is create a ‘forbidden knowledge’ that people usually seek out. In other words, for Islam, it would draw people to it to find out what the ‘forbidden knowledge’ is.. It is almost a publicity stunt.
Maybe I’m over-thinking it.. but this is the first thing that ran through my head..
I don’t think you’re overthinking it. That was a good point.
