Once someone gives me gift of a Christian bible, Koran, or Bhagavad
Gita
it is mine and I can do with it as I please even if that action offends

the giver; I can burn it, wipe my bottom with it, or shoot it, whatever
I
want, in private or in public.

Sure you can. But also be prepared for the consequences.

Oh, so is your complaint against these "bible burners" who have offended
you
so much, that they weren't sufficiently prepared for the consequences?

Why is it that only Jews should worry about offending others,
& be the only ones to suffer the consequences of their actions?
How is it that there are Jews who cannot see that it is the Jews
who were being put upon - maybe it's another "man bites dog"
story, & that's why it's made the headlines!
