Reply #4: You don't get it

[nadinbrzezinski]

and this is part of our provincialism. You are looking at this from the POV of 21st century American (Western Values). Both the people burning them and the people in many points of the Arab world, and the developing world, are stuck in a 12th century mentality. When you burn a religious book in that mentality... it is a personal attack against your god. It is YOUR duty to defend your god.

Both the church and these people are tuck in a tribalistic way of thinking. It is another type of provincialism.

And if you do not get this, people will die, I cannot help it.
