As a bibliophile whose personal library holds thousands of books, I would normally rail against the least mention of book burning. It is the hallmark of intolerance and narrow-mindedness. I, too, would make an exception for the Koran as well. Especially so in light of how its dictates would require much of my library being put to the torch.
