I believe any form of burning books regardless of source should be legal. The ramifications of doing it is to get laughed at and have people shaking their heads; the same reaction that was given when bibles and swedish flags were burnt.

In fact, we even had a torah being burnt outside a synagogue here. The rabbi defended the action, calling the "right of free expression" a holy right within the borders.

The fact that this is even a debate is ridiculous, as it's clouded by disinformation and lies.
