That’s taking logic a little too far. Too many false assumptions for me to respond adequately. Do you understand my tagline, however?

About the only thing I was assuming is that you’ve a Koran that you had not considered burning until now.

I was not even assuming that you were a Christian but instead asked to look at the logic of this action “especially for a Christian (in light of their) commission” (I hate typos, and that omission was one).

A burned Koran may be a victimless crime; but, just as with a burned flag when such are bought for the purpose it may be nominally said to represent someone using up their own resources in pursuit of a bit of futile symbolism.

That is, I’ll contend, illogical. “Symbolism” of that nature is the kind that appeals to sentiment and plays on human sentimentality.

That said, it is a poor writer who blames his reader if there is a lack of understanding ... which is why my own personal motto is: “The last edit you do is one edit too few.”
