To be fair, just because something is your own property does not mean you can go around burning it to cinders. You're going to get done for arson if you burn down your own home just as much as if you burn down someone else's.

What's wrong with burning your own property, if you bought it you own it.
So you'd have no problem with a Muslim burning a bible? What about a bonfire of bibles in the town square?

I doubt very few Muslims go to churches Rich, unless they want to have to have a go at the vicar on why there is trouble in the Middle East, like I witnessed last year.
The vicar went on a long rant about the Troubles, Falklands and Bosnia. The poor Muslim man was dumbfounded, I doubt he had not heard about the Troubles, Falklands or much of Bosnia.
Religion is troublesome for me and I hate them all.
Why didn't Allah stop the illegal war caused by Blair and Bush?

Arresting this man is one thing, charging him with an offence would be quite another.
I remember back in '81 when I began secondary school and within the week all us newcomers had a Christian come and talk to us and we were all handed a small red Gideon's bible and urged to read a page of it every day. This was not a religious school or anything like that. Before the day was out a couple of silly boys had tossed this bible into a waste bin outside, this got discovered and there was hell to pay. We all have a right to our own beliefs without others trying to impose them on us.
I was giving Psalms at school, a few lads burnt them or threw them out the window. If we did that to Koran we would probably have to go to the Mosque to apologise.
One of the first trip visits I went on after arrival at secondary school was to a mosque, I think it was the Regent's Park Mosque in London in 1982 as part of RE studies which was a 50 mile coach drive away. So they were pushing islam in our faces even over 40 years ago now, although I'm sure we studied other religions. I'm keen to pull out all my work from that time from the loft to see just what I was being taught in RE as most of it rather went over my head. I get that we were simply learning about it rather than being indoctrinated in any way. My main memory of the mosque was everyone getting told to hand our shoes/socks over and walk on a posh carpet barefoot. I don't remember thinking too deeply about the visit and what it meant.
Do muslim schools/parents like to educate their youngsters about other religions and take them to Christian churches and places of worship? No!
