the comparison between putting a koran in a toilet and listening to rap if you don't like it---as if these were of the same order---answers the question (falsely) in advance and blurs out everything of importance. deliberate violation of a norm held by (many) muslims who see the koran as in itself the word of god--but this not in the way an xtian would, but more literally so is problematic in that it is about degradation and frankly about some foul ethnocentric horseshit that you woulda thought went away abotu the time of the crusades, when legions of xtian lunkheads would do that sort of thing to "celebrate" the triumph of jesus and all that over the "heathens"

it is not AT ALL of the same order as making someone listen to a kind of music that they do not like.

and even the last statement can mean more than one thing: making someone "listen" to most anything at extreme volume for 48 hours, say, is also not making them listen to a kind of music they do not like. it's about sleep deprivation, which can be argued is a form of psychological torture.

what is the interest in deliberately trivializing the matter?
where is this coming from?
