    the reason they don’t is because they know they won’t get away with it

    What do you mean by “won’t get away with it”? Also the article doesn’t mention anything about atheism, only ‘anti-Muslim’, which are obviously two very different things. I’m fairly certain the reason why you see less Bible burnings than Quran burnings in the west is because the west is predominantly Christian, so of course there would be less burning of the Bible, not because of the notion of some atheists of ‘getting away with it’.

      There is absolutely no particular reason you should see Quran burnings in the west, either… that is, unless it’s the same old west demonizing the same old “other.”

      not because of the notion of some atheists of ‘getting away with it’.

      No, it’s a valid question - if this is (supposedly) about “freedom of speech” (which the Quran burners always pretend it’s all about), why don’t you see these vitriolic right-wing atheists (for which dipshits like Bill Maher is a spokesperson) test “freedom of speech” by burning Bibles? I mean… this is about “freedom of speech,” isn’t it?
