Israel’s Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef even implored Sweden's figurehead king to intervene, condemning the planned event as well as the recent burning of the Quran in front of a mosque in Sweden. “By preventing this event from occurring, you would send a powerful message to the world that Sweden stands firmly against religious intolerance and that such acts have no place in a civilized society," he wrote. The Council of Swedish Jewish Communities deplored the police decision to allow the protest, saying, “our tragic European history links the burning of Jewish books with pogroms, expulsions, inquisitions and the Holocaust.”

ReplyDeleteMust be a fake sefer Torah, or a stolen one he can't afford a real one.
This goes to show the greatness of the American First Amendment and the ability of our Constitution to balance order with freedom. There is no exceptions to the First Amendment except garmi (clear and present danger) according to Justice Holmes, or incitement, according to Judge Leonard Hand of the Second Circuit. The Supreme Court combined both shitas in the Brandenberg case. Forget the Koran, even the American flag can be burned. That is gadlos for the strongest nation in the world to allow.
