Yeah, the real reason is that the followers of these books want to push their beliefs onto others, turn them into laws, and ignoring them won't make them go away. In every place where the followers of these books became the majority, the minorities are extremely repressed. The last time we were entirely ruled by those books, it was known as the Dark Ages, but there are several other countries currently living in their own Dark Ages because of the same desert trilogy. That book literally says its followers should kill me and others just because of the way they were born, so fuck it, it deserves no respect from anyone, it has nothing to do with race, it's 100% religion.
But that's a Europe thing you know.
EDIT: actually western Europe.
I thought that by always referring to books in the plural, calling it the desert trilogy, and mentioning the Dark Ages, it was obvious that I'm not singling out the burning of the Qur'an as good... in my country, it's not Muslims who have infected politics and try to push religious law, but a sect of fundamentalist Christians... yet, the laws they want pale in comparison to sharia, so I feel sorry for countries with people on the streets calling for sharia.
only things that I know of "sharia" from Qur'an are:
I wish you criticize them only if the laws of your country solved these problems efficiently (unless you don't consider them problems),
And it is kinda strange that you're hurt when you didn't have contact with Islam?
