Muslims in Sweden think that there must be "boundaries" to freedom of
expression, and these must include
criminalizing burning a Qur'an.
Burning a symbol of something you condemn is a form of protest that
everyone is entitled to. That's why the US Supreme Court invalidated
the law that used to criminalize burning the US flag. Burning it is a
symbolic act of denunciation of the US, not material damage to the
United States. Likewise for burning any religion's holy book, or
Mao's little red book, a copy of the Bill of Rights, a copy of a
Microsoft software license, a copy of the GNU GPL, or any text that
represents something you oppose.
Where Muslims are in charge, they usually protect their feelings by
censoring any criticism of their religion. They label criticism of
Islam as "blasphemy" and punish it very severely —
in some countries
with death.
This violates the human rights of people with certain views.
Where Muslims are in charge, they don't respect religious freedom either.
Many countries which make Islam the established religion punish any Muslim
who tries to stop being a Muslim. In Malaysia, the law simply says
that people of Malay race are Muslims whether they like it or not.
This too violates the human rights of people with certain views.
We need more respect for human rights, not less. Sweden must not use
"hate crime" as an excuse to repress condemnation of Islam.
Nor is it legitimate to claim that an act of symbolic condemnation
"endangers national security". How could that ever happen? If
Muslims (or any other group) threaten to attack the nation in revenge
for a symbolic act of condemnation, they are the ones threatening
national security, not the people they demand to repress.
