Well, after criticizing the Pastor for his plan to burn the Qur'an, I suppose I should weigh in on this. It's one thing to oppose the burning of holy books. Surely it's quite another to make it illegal?
Would I be breaking the law if I went out into my garden and burnt a Bible or Qur'an and posted the video on YouTube? Surely there needs to be more than that to be "inciting racial hatred"? Maybe the police did take other things into account.
Either way, the anti-Muslim/anti-PC brigade will just lap this up.

I suppose there could be fire regulation laws regarding burning them in a public alleyway as opposed to on private property, but no, as stupid as book-burnings tend to be, I would agree that there's no need to make just being stupid illegal.
