Sweden calls the burning of the Qur'an freedom of expression and allows this action. What will they say about the burning of the LGBT flag?

Same thing you can burn whatever you want as long as its your own and on your own ground where you are allowed to burn stuff in general. Otherwise its destruction of property and arson.

Also people need to understand that hate-crime is not a crime in on itself. There is always another crime involved, hate-crime is just a reason for a crime. Similar as murder and manslaughter. Both are crimes both involve the same thing but murder has a different reason and therefore is often punished differently.

This is not one specific law but something that is true for a lot of countries and law-systems. So if your country does it differently than ok, I am just saying this is how it is most of the time. But I do think this would be the case in sweden.

You can burn any flag you want. It is only cloth, so it won't change anything.

[AviatorTom]

Hopefully, that would also be freedom of expression too. But I suspect it will be treated differently... possibly as a hate crime.

They'll say somebody woke up with a boner this morning

Same deal, you can burn flags as much as you want.

Unless the flags are sold within the EU, they don't burn, because of fire safety precautions.

They would probably say its freedom of expression, unless of course they are hypocrites.

[AngryCarl2]

There's only one way to find out. Make sure the media are there, or no one will know.

[Agape93]

Same thing. Welcome to democracy.
