The holy Quran was burnt of recent in Sweden by a politician who actually organised people for such a shameful and insensitive act. Then a Danish philosopher appeared on Fox News to blame the migrants majorly from African and Middle East for the idiocy of their people because the Muslims dare to protest such a provocative act. The irony and pain to me is that when the West were busy colonizing and destabilizing the natural settlement and way of life of people around the world, they had no regard whatsoever for the people's culture but now they worry that the migrants destabilize their culture. What's more disturbing is that most white think so judging by the comments of the Americans under Fox News.

Why should anyone protest the burning of the Quran, is it not just a book? Fine, it is barbaric, just leave it as that and move on. Must Muslims constitute nuisance everywhere they are? How many times have islamists burnt the Bible, and how many times did Christians come out to protest?

As regards the colonisation of the people, it wasn't all about the Westerners going to the colonies themselves and overpowering them, but the acceptance of the ruling elites of the colonies to be governed by the West for selfish reasons. This can also be said about slavery.
