Anyway, I thought this was kind of funny. It's a request sent to the Home Office for legal protection... well, see for yourself:
Dear Sirs,
I understand from the news (see here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/25/girl-arrested-allegedly-burning-quran and here: http://www.iengage.org.uk/component/content/article/1-news/1028-six-edl-supporters-arrested-after-burning-the-quran ) that the British state has decided to grant to at least some religious books/sacred texts the protection of the law, and to prosecute their burning/defacement/disrespect.
I am therefore writing to you today to request that legal protection be accorded to all copies of the three editions of J.D. Jackson’s “Classical Electrodynamics” ...
I must say, he makes some very good points.
(My thanks to Pharyngula for the link.)
