If youre trying to understand what burning a Quran would look like to a Muslim, consider this:
For Christians, Jesus is the word of God. For Muslims, the Quran is the word of God. Imagine someone burning Jesus, says Emad El-Din Shahin, a religion professor at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.

The Quran teaches Muslims to respect the sacred books of Christians and Jews as well, says Chris van Gorder, a religion professor at Baylor University in Texas.

"It's a very well-known fact that if you have a Bible at customs when you enter the airport, and if they find the Bible, that the Bible is taken and put in the shredder." "If you have more than one Bible you will be taken into custody and if you have a quantity of Bibles you will be given 70 lashes for sure - you could even be executed."
Yep.
And since I have much of it committed to memory,(Not Word for Word, but the Concepts and Ideas) it wouldn’t matter.
“Thy Word I have hidden in my heart
That I might not sin against Thee...” Psalm 119
Not the author or his editors, certainly. However, anyone who does care what is true can read dozens of counter-examples in the comments, proving that the premise of this article is a lie.
