  I agree about acting like a total dick but the reasoning isn’t to show how enlightened and rational I am I just hate the effects religion has on people and society as a whole, and am very anti-religion
context: Funny that the guy asked for permission for the protest and stated that the protest included burning a Torah.  That's like the joke about Germans hijacking a train - they'd buy tickets first.
  And if he did burn a Torah, sure, some Jews would be upset and point out that there's antisemitism in the world (which we already knew), but no one would let one person's dickish move affect anyone's national security.
  Also note:
  
  “The burning of the Torah scroll was prevented thanks to the leadership of the Muslim community in Sweden,” Rabbi Moshe David HaCohen told the Post  
  
  So the real headline should be "Muslims, Jews prove co-existence is possible in Stockholm". >
  
  
  "Muslims, Jews prove co-existence is possible in Stockholm".
  
  Israel, Palestine could not be reached for comment. >
  
  As a muslim if someone burned the Quran in front of me, I'd say "tsk tsk tsk" while shaking my head then turn around and go about my day. My belief being God will decide what to do with them, not me, like I've always been taught. This is what a peaceful religion really means. Some others are just conplete idiots. >
  
  So you follow the same book as those violent types, but to a totally different result? How is that even possible, I am genuinely curious about that? Is the text complicated and confusing, without clear guidance? >
  
  It says by the final day on earth, there will be upto 70 different types of muslims! And only 1 will be the true one. People take the messages of the quran and teachings differently. Most of us are simple; God comes first, spread Islam or keep it to yourself, be peaceful, respect and love everyone. Of course this isn't the case with all muslims. Some jump on people for being gay, behead for burning qurans, etc, all the way to terrorism. 
  It can be complicated, as teachings like the quran have the most wholesome quotes to the most violent lines, its completely how people take it and how their parents/teachers teach it to them. 
  I work at a Muslim charity, and all we do is hardwork to get clothes food and money out to poor countries, the community here is amazing and we all get along with non muslims and other faiths, this is what most of us are and then to go on reddit or the news and see an extremist half way across the world attack someone and really question the "peaceful" aspect of islam, the hate for islam just grows and grows. It's really sad. >

  We see this all the time with Islam regarding atheism and homosexuality though.  The criticism is deserved.
  When more and more Muslims rise up and condemn the actions of all Muslims when it comes to the treatment of gays and atheists, then maybe it might deserve a little respect.  Until then, your religion deserves the hate it gets, just as Christianity does. 
  We're humans too.  It's long past being time to accept us and treat us as equals. >
  
  Disagree, everyone suffers because of it. Yes it's often but compared to how often it should be (there's like what, almost 2 billion of us?) , it's very, very undeserved. I think I saw an article that states Islamic Terrorism is covered 800% more than other acts of terrorism. It's not deserved at all. I'm not saying it should be suppressed, if a anyone does anything bad it should be punished and called out rightfully. But I don't want to suffer because of the actions of someone with completely different mindset, upbringing, teaching and choices just because we are both "muslims". If the teachings of Islam generally is what someone is against, then there is no amount of kindness from us that can fix that. >

  And what does Islam say about homosexuals and why do you folks literally kill us in other parts of the world while folks like you remain silent? >
