I meant that Muslim people would be angry at this but the thing is we have freedom to express so just like people can make fun of Christianity, we should be able to criticize and be able to burn Quran as well bible as well. Let’s not enable these people to get angry and make death threat (see Charlie hebdo)
Does that right extend to burning a copy of the Torah outside of a Synagogue?
Yes to every religion
Even when it both makes Jewish people unsafe and encourages an atmosphere of racism, which only ever results in one thing?
If they're is no law against "making people unsafe, by provoking a 3rd party" then yes. If they're is a law against that, actions like these would be stopped. There doesn't seem to be one though. Any Swede here?
In Germany something vaguely like this would probably count as "Volksverhetzung", but IANL so I'm not sure that would even remotely fit.
Thank you for your explanation. I do however have a very different opinion. This isn't an expression of free speech but a delibirate provocation to incite violence. How this so called protest isn't a criminal offense is beyond me.
