The people on the far right that do these Quran burnings are idiots. Luckily they are a tiny percentile. When they tried to get into parliament in Denmark, they only got 1% of votes. At least these demonstrations are non violent, because peaceful democracy allow expression of personal opinions.
On the other side we have Muslims who are fanatic religious idiots, protesting these burnings in violent riots, despite they are happening in far away countries, who have different laws and traditions. They prove that the demonstrations of burning the Quran in opposition to Islam because Muslims are fanatics and unfit for democracy, actually kind of have a point.
The right-wingers who did this weren’t stupid, in the end. They knew it’d provoke exactly this reaction, and that it earns them extra voters the next time around.
There won’t be any extra votes next time, Rasmus Paludan had done this already, and although it had an effect, he only managed to get half the required 2% votes to get to parliament. Since then he has become ever more irrelevant here. Which is probably why he tried the stunt in Sweden too.

I mean, when Paludan did his stunts up here in Sweden, people rioted, attacked police, and burned cars here too. I believe it got calmer with subsequent burnings but the one down in Norrköping was quite gnarly.
Yes that was crazy, but slightly more understandable than people in Iran or some other Muslim country protesting a fringe right wing activist in Denmark or Sweden.
