It is important that the voices of decency not let the book-burners and taunts of the bigots dominate the conversation — and ensure that the German writer Heinrich Heine’s prophesy (”Where they have burned books, they will end in burning human beings.”) is not repeated.
But with the guarantee of religious freedom for all, the fundamental American right to protest — an essential element of the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of expression — should also be honored.
As the Constitution protects the right to burn an American flag as a political protest, for the Ku Klux Klan to rally at a state capitol, for neo-Nazis to march down an American street, then surely there is a right to burn a Quran or any other sacred symbol.
