Watch out - if this story gets picked up around the world (and it probably will once CAIR et al get into the act) this could provoke the kind of insane reaction that will make the “Danish cartoons” matter look like kids in the sandbox. Muzzie mobs have rioted and slaughtered large numbers of infidels over a lot less. While I have no regard for the book in question, I certainly do not see any good reason to try to inflame those parts of the world into riots and mass murder. Is this guy trying to get a fatwa issued to become infamous? He may get a lot of innocent people killed in the process....
He just wants to be famous amongst the liberal elites. Destroying the Bible wasn't good enough - too passé. This is a bit more novel and daring. Plus, there could be personal consequences to this one.
clarification: the “book” in question for which I have no regard is the 2nd one burned (NOT the Holy Bible)— the ‘rare’ one he inherited from his late wife — though it’s probably spitting on her memory to burn it since obviously it was a remarkable item she received from a King (not that I would care, but presumably she did since she held onto it so long instead of giving it away)
