The religion of peace strikes again?

Even the most peaceful person is going to get a little pissed if you burn something they hold sacred, mockingly, and then get ready to do it several times again. (After you've seen the distress it causes)

Maybe. Being a little pissed is everyone’s right. So, I agree with you.

Maybe you will agree that only criminally deranged idiots will turn to violence over the damaging of a book.
