      Depends on how they plan to handle it. If a new law was formed specifically around the Quran, there might be a case.

      But if it’s outlawing book burning in general, that’s quite another story.

      Personally, I don’t understand why a law like that isn’t already in place after WW2.

        But if it’s outlawing book burning in general, that’s quite another story.

        “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.” The intended target of this law is crystal clear.

          Absolutely. Which is why we’ll look at the wording of such a law very carefully.
