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.

“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.

Then I envy you, that your legislators are competent and honest enough to do so.

The Jury's still out on that one. We'll have to see, if the Bill should come to pass.

You misunderstood the article. They plan on jailing them now.

Jailing the protesters, not the terrorists, no?
