Totally agreed, though I’d mention that the mere act of burning a book that you yourself own is not any of those things. As you say though, there’s a lot of legitimate debate to be had here, and I have to add, it’s very refreshing that we’ve been able to actually have a conversation about these things in a respectful manner.
Yep, absolutely, which is why I’m always extremely skeptical of giving these kinds of people any light of day. I’ve seen way too many gay people get sucked down Islamophobic conservative rabbit holes simply because they’re given a simple enemy to blame, and that’s far easier than having to acknowledge the complexity and nuance in everything.
At any rate, I certainly wish you all the best in navigating these issues, and if people are able to actually maintain some level of mutual respect and civil dialogue, I’m confident we’ll eventually figure it out. I’m actually going to be in Sweden next year for Eurovision, and I’m really looking forward to it!
