The Israeli ambassador to Sweden bragged about how he managed to stop a Torah burning by pressuring the government to intervene. When the Quran got burned, people pointed to the comments as an example of privilege and unequal treatment.

However, Muslims oppose burning of Bibles and Torahs as well as Quran, as all 3 contain some of the Word of God.
