    Look at the real-world consequences of mocking Islam, of drawing prophet Muhamed, or burning the Qur’an.

    Compare them with the real-world consequences of mocking any other religion (or atheism), or burning their “sacred” books.

    Are they comparable? Who is then the oppressor, and who is the oppressed?

      The US conservatives and Hillary Clinton were calling for war against Iran because the people there burnt US flags. Trump then bombed a person invited on a diplomatic talk with the US, which is one of the worst crimes against diplomacy imaginable.

      Or look at footbal fans hostile to each other, where symbols of the enemy team are burnt vice versa until it escalates to violence.

      Attacking symbols of groups in hate causes escalations all the time.
