If it were a Bible or a Torah that was burned we wouldn't be having this conversation now because it wouldn't have even made the news. There is only one major religion that reacts violently to incidents like this. I think that's the point OP was making and it's a valid one.

Way to completely miss (or ignore) the point I made.

But you're right, Christians have never committed violence in the name of their faith... Lol

Actually there may very well have been news about a public Torah burning, considering the rise in anti-Semitism across the world has a lot of people worried. And a bible burning could easily go viral on Christian nationalist social media and news stations across America.
