    Quite frankly it should be illegal to burn holy books/flags/effigies/etc.

    What is possibly gained by symbolically lighting someone’s holy book on fire? Is religion regressive? Absolutely. But all you’re doing is creating righteous indignation in the group you disagree with, making them out to be the sympathetic party, and it kind of makes you look like a culture warrior tool to do the burning.
