It was further down the thread, the exchange is below. I was referencing the selectivity of the outrage, in this case the insistence that there would be greater outrage than a 200 plus post thread were the “victims” of the act Jews, disproved by the two threads within a week which drew no attention at all.

Were this thread about the distribution of New Testaments, the reaction would be the polar opposite. If one opposes the desecration of the New Testament, imo consistency requires similar opposition to the desecration to the desecration of the Koran or Torah.

If you advocate random distribution of New Testaments, I’ve no particular problem with that, you must accept distribution of Korans or Scientology tracts, else define yourself as a hypocrite. That’s one reason distribution (general, not clubs) should not take place in public schools or public buildings. I’ve seen that advocated, but that opens the door to Korans and every imaginable cult.

But imagine the worldwide uproar if this was in a Christian country burning the Torah!

You're kidding, right. Forget Europe, how about the US. Desecration of synagogues and cemetaries aren't uncommon, and no great uproar ensues.

A few weeks ago an Orthodox synagogue in Miami was burned to the ground, the Torah stolen, part of it left. It wasn't a worldwide "scandal". I posted a thread only because it brought Kudus from Stormfront which sometimes draws interest here. 5 or 6 responses if I recall

The week before a couple girls arrested for desecrating a synagogue. Someone posted a , that got a dozen replies.

So even on FR, there's no uproar. And these are criminal acts, not some white supremecist nutball buying copies of the Tanakh and burning them.

Not only no uproar, but no one connects these acts with Christianity, as is done here.
