I appreciate your perspective, and you are right that ex‑Muslims, atheists, and other dissenting voices also face real fear, stigma, and even punishment in many places. Their wellbeing matters just as much as anyone else’s.
The point here is not that one minority should outweigh another, but that deliberately targeting symbols (like national flags, holy books) that people,regardless of their diversity, hold sacred rarely leads to meaningful dialogue. It often deepens polarization instead of creating space for those who genuinely need protection, including apostates and freethinkers.

Critique, dissent, and the right to leave a religion must be defended. But we can defend those freedoms without endorsing actions that escalate hostility rather than strengthen the democratic values we all rely on. In short, we should not compromise on social cohesion, social harmony, peace, and humanity by allowing a violent way to protest or demonstrate difference of opinions. We must draw line between freedom of expression/speech and freedom of hate expression/speech.
