Does this apply to all works of fiction, or only those believed by extremist groups?
I can understand not being allowed to burn historically significant documents and books, but mass-produced books are just cheap fire tinder.
If this goes through, my wife might get her wish when I disparage the Harry Potter books.
I'm too pretty for prison.
Just get an ass infection.
If a book is important to one or more ethnic groups, burning it is a hate crime, period. Being mass produced has nothing to go with it.
Islam is an ethnic group?
How about no burning anything in public? It's a stupid thing to do and proves nothing, risks starting unintended fires, or people injuring themselves, etc.
LOL. Of course, I don't advocate for burning things just to burn things.
I just don't think that burning your own books should be considered a crime.
Burning stuff is a classic protest move though, and that shouldn't be restricted either - within safety limits of course; i.e. Don't leave your burning flag, book, bra, whatever where it might destroy unrelated stuff.
