In order to "send a signal to the world". The new law doesn't just include the burning of any holy book, not just the Quran, but will "prohibit the inappropriate treatment of objects of significant religious importance to a religious community". That will also include the ideas, beliefs and critique of the text in said holy books. Such as what happened with Salman Rushdie with The Satanic Verses or Richard Dawkins critiques of creationism and intelligent design. Both of which have caused offence to religious individuals and even resulted in Government condemnation, civil unrest and violence. Violation of the law will result in fines and two years imprisonment.
The only stance not covered by the law will be atheism.

What is ''sincere religious belief''? First don't be White, then they'll consider it's possible you're ''sincere'' depending on the Intersectional Hierarchy.
