Apparently some Malaysian Muslims are burning the Swedish flag in protest against those cartoonish drawings of Muhammad.
Isn’t that a tad juvenile?
I kind of liked fire when I was little, not in arson kind of a way, but it is warm, you can burn stuff (okay, maybe there’s a tiny arsonist in me…) and you get light and energy from it.
But adults burning some fabric while dancing around shouting idiocies?
And a bit of cloth with some colors, are we really supposed to feel offended by it? Media seem to think so, why else is flag burning like the second biggest story and one of the most repeated stories you can find?
Maybe I would be a bit upset if Malaysians burned a dog (hey! Food!) or if was people. Well, depending on what people. A dog burning would always upset me, some banksters and politicians not so much.
Anyway, in some countries it is even illegal to burn textile with a certain color combination…
That is how far humanity has got during 250 000 years of evolution - the outlawing of burning certain cloth with certain colors on it.
Furthermore, I think Beatrice Ask must resign.
