"Islam" is not demanding anything as it isnt a monolithic institution or group. Also fascists and their conservative enablers are long past the point of caring for facts or reason. Preemptively giving in to their potential rage is only helping them gain more power and it will not stop their rage.
Also according to that logic countries like Germany would be limitinf free speech, because burning Torah in front of a synagogue or jewish institution would be considered a hate crime in the same way that showing the Nazi salute or Flag in public is. Hate speech must not and cannot be covered under free speech. Publicly and demonstratively burning symbols of minority groups is a clear threat and call to hate against them.
It's not hate. It's critique. Religious maniacs are not a minority group. They're insane cults who damage children both mentally and physically through ritualistic genital mutilation.

Its literally the correct way to dispose of the quoran...
And limiting free speech in certain cases is one thing, but burning shitty fantasy novels is always allowed. This includes Thora burnings. Its literally stated that its allowed because of religious freedom. Just ask some ex Muslims about how they feel about this. Its also not racist because Islam isn't a race.
And no, burning shitty fantasy novels isn't a attack towards a group of people, if anything it states the disagreement with their beliefs, wich in itself cant be illegal due to free speech and religious freedom.
Furthermore, yes "islam" as in the Islamic theocratic countrys, do demand shit.
