It's completely inappropriate for religious practitioner IMO. An activist might find value in it to point out an otherwise legal incineration of private property under safe conditions should not be made illegal because of what might be fairly called irrational reactions (death threats?). Why is it even covered by media.... to try and get a reaction.

All in all it seem's like silly people for the way they go about things. If they want to upset those same Muslim's who would get upset by that, then they'd probably have more success trying to create an international 'Draw a Prophet Picture' day. They can have people draw pictures of Moses, Jesus and Muhammad etc holding hands and giving out flowers or something. It would make any emotional fundamentalist reaction seem even more irrational without the symbology of burning and destruction.


I remember when the TV show south park did exactly that and got death threats from Islamic groups. They made Mohammad a character within one of the shows episodes.

So long and thanks for all the fish
