«Ce n’est pas en brûlant des corans que l’on va lutter contre l’islamisme» - Michel Onfray

As the Danish Parliament debates a law to ban the burning of books "with strong religious significance," Michel Onfray offers a lengthy reflection on the crime of blasphemy. While he intellectually opposes the ban on sacrilege, the philosopher believes that we must be wary of using blasphemy, "which hurts and insults" unnecessarily. According to him, the criticism of religions and the fight against Islamism require rigor and respect.
