Wait, is it true that you have to burn a Quran if you're going to dispose of it? I'd like to know the reasoning behind that, I bet it's interesting. Or is she just trolling the troll?
The US flag code requires burning. Cremation is a thing. Burning is a respectful way to dispose of things in a lot of cultures.
Burial is also considered acceptable, AFAIK
Flag is a pretty good comparison. Burning is the recommended disposal method, but people want to ban it and/or get very upset when it's burned
It's because there's a specific way you're supposed to burn the flag for disposal. It's a whole ceremony.
