I don’t think burning a book is against any laws but they sure committed a crime.

Intentionally desecrating a copy of the Quran is punishable by imprisonment in some countries and could lead to a death sentence in Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Pakistan, or up to life imprisonment in Pakistan, according to Article 295-B of the Penal Code.

Since they are apparently in Europe, it would likely not be against the law.

What if you intentionally delete a copy of the Quran from your computer?

If you wanna get super technical it can’t possibly be a Quran if it’s not a book written in Arabic…. According to one of the first chapters of the Quran. So if this Quran was written in another language other than Arabic they might have a loophole. …. Good luck explaining that to fanatics on either side though

Does this mean any digital copy of the Quran is technically not the Quran because while the images on screen might be in Arabic, the file itself is written in binary?

Genuine question.

loophole to what? Like who cares about burning a physical copy of a book. it's stupid to even care about. the guy's probably a piece of shit but ... like...who cares? it's paper.

Yes I fully agree . It’s just a book. Regardless of the language it’s written in. People can burn what they like . It’s up to the believers to keep the word alive .
