To cause hate and violence by christian fundamentalists?
But that doesn’t happen in Western Europe. At least not since the Good Friday Agreement. Bible burnings and other sacrilegious/blasphemic stuff is done frequently here and occasionally you’ll read about some resentful remarks from church officials, but all in all that group reacts a lot calmer.
Black metal fanatics literally burned down medieval churches. Yet I’m not aware ideology motivated Christian attacks on metal fans.
I’m not saying burning books is a polite thing to do, but the ridiculous reaction to it is what worries me.
Did you hear of colonialism yet? History of the last centuries is full of massacres and genocide by fanatical Christians happening all over the world, so what tf are you talking about?
They certainly did not - on he contrary, they just refined the system of exploitation, or why do you think the “west” is rich while most “former” colonies and are still poor in 2023?

Those are a couple opinions opinion pieces made by laypeople, not trustworthy sources.
Besides, it’s simply disgusting to compare the colonialism and the horrors that accompanied it with the economic issues of current international trade relations. You’re belittling victims of actual gencoides here. It’s reminds me a bit of the people who needed to talk about “tyranny” when we had rules against Covid.

They kinda moved on since then? Which is the whole point of this ordeal.
