Man arrested for burning the Quran

The quran is an evil and vile book. Good on him id burn one myself

You probably haven't even read it.

It is his property, and if he wants to burn it, on his property, then he should be allowed. If he videoed it with the intent to use it in a negative manner, as part of a hate campaign etc then this is a different matter but the act of burning a book should not be criminalised. If I want to walk outside and burn my copy of the bible, or my translation of the Qur'an then I will.

It is the intent and not the action that should be key, and if he filmed himself doing it then the intention can be seen to be to cause offence.

This is surprising, coming from a labourite.

I haven't read Mein Kampf but I know it's an evil piece of work.

Whilst I agree with the fact that it is a waste of time, I still stand up for his right to express himself and his liberty to view any religion as he so pleases. Arresting him simply for expressing his views is extremely authoritarian and totalitarian by the government.

But is it a crime? The Burning of the Qu'ran and The Burning of the British Flag should be perfectly reasonable courses of actions to take in regards to one's own personal property.

We should have had a revolution back in the 19th Century, guillotine a few d00ds and Hanoverians left right and centre and have a Universal Declaration of Human Rights and a Constitution.

Yep, so now you're comparing the Koran to Mein Kampf; utter hyperbole. You really are one stupid, ignorant fool. (This is coming from an atheist btw).

Not really, unless you mean the emphasis on property.

It's the same as burning a cabinet or a sofa. If you are adhering to rules about having such fires in your garden then fair enough.

Should people be able to own guns and drugs, then?

Inciting racial hatred and prejudice is against the law foool.

People are allowed to own drugs and guns.

What do you mean simply a 'view point'.. If I hate the Bible (which I don't btw) expressing my 'view point' would be 'screw jesus!' . How can you not see this? Me saying that I hate the bible etc is just as controversial as Galileo expressing his views to the devout religious people of that era. To us someone giving a new scientific theory is obviously not offensive anymore but it was hundreds of years ago. It was very 'offensive' hence why the punishment.
Also sex in public is an action, you can't say oh free speech therefore free sex in public too.

I mean 'illegal drugs' which they can't and only a very small amount of people are allowed guns (why should I need a legitimate purpose to have a gun?).

No, people should not be allowed guns. I'm undecided regarding drugs. People can, however, own books and they can burn them, as well as any legal drugs and guns they may own.

a 'book'? utter ignorance, humble yourself.

If people can burn books and cause people's deaths (indirectly) why can't they own guns?
