    Or defending a religious minority depending which way you look at it.

      Yes, bending down to the unreasonable demands of a particularly problematic religious minority.

          It’s always unreasonable when religious people make demands towards others outside their religion.

            Yet people get pissed off when Christians do book burnings in America right?

              You bet I am, but if burning books was the only or worst thing they did I couldn’t care less. Which is why it has to be legal for individuals to keep doing this. Doing it in the name of a government or powerful organisation - this is where it really starts to leave a bad aftertaste.

              And just to be perfectly clear, people like me being pissed about something obviously won’t and shouldn’t be enough reason to ban anything. What definitely should be illegal is political meddling, something that connects religious groups in the US more with the religious extremists abroad this proposed law seeks to appease than some Dane with a Quran and a matchbook.

      Religious minority? Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world, is currently neck and neck with Christianity, and is predicted to account for 70% of all religious people in the world - by far - in the next couple of decades. Minority? Pssh!

            White, non binary maybe, pan.

            What races do “they” supposedly like?

            I think your problem is your judging a large group by it’s lost extreme members.

            Like I’m sure there’s plenty of lovely Christians in America but the vie wi get from over the pong is they’re a bunch of completely insane morons.
