What I fail to see is how is burning a book achieving anything remotely as useful as cooking beef. You cook beef to eat it, you burn a book to make a clear political and/or religious message and purposefully offend people.
There's nothing wrong with offending bigots
Yes. Heating (i.e. burning) beef to more than medium is now punishable by up to 2 years in prison. Asking people to commit a crime by ordering such a product can result in hefty fines up to 5000โฌ.
I love a good rare steak, but making that and medium rare your only legal options is a bit much.
They aren't your only legal options. Not eating a steak would also be an option.
Simplistic reductionism does indeed lead to stupid questions.
That is indeed a stupid question.
Because burning the quaran is clearly motivated by hate speech while cooking beef is for food and hindus are allowed to exclude themselves from eating beef, they are not forced by law to eat it
Hatespeech itself is illegal and if someone cooked a cow with the motivation of communicating hate speech then they should be banned from whatever social media platform they are communicating it on and be arrested if they are a threat to someone or incite a threat towards a group / person
A silly response to this post that looks to me like it was made partially in bad faith If you realise that consciously or not
It is supposed to be under anti-discrimination laws but bigots also known as right wingers, conservatives, republicans, tories, whatever your local countries right wing party is called are aiming to undo those laws or not enforce them because they are bigots
The law is so vague that no one actually know what it makes illegal
