I think the Gov see inciting terrorism as someone who preaches on a street corner for people to blow themselves up in shopping malls or schools, not someone burning books.
I know that the burning of crosses are illegal because it's commonly used for racial intimidation, so could the burning of religious texts be considered religious intimidation? Are there laws to protect religious intimidation as there are to protect people from racial intimidation?
