The request for permission to complete a Quran burning in Malmö sparked strong emotions, particularly among muslims. Some people have used physical means to express their emotions, resulting in demonstrations. Using a critical discourse method, this study critically analyzed 259 comments on how forum writers on Flashback valued Quran burning. This study takes a perspective that focuses on developing knowledge that can help people who are disadvantaged. Social constructivism and intersectionality are the theories that have been adopted. The study reveals themes that almost entirely center on muslims reactions to the event rather than the event itself. Many themes are pro-Quran burning, and some of those who are against it are not motivated by anti-discrimination concerns. It turns out that forum writers place more value on the burning of the Quran and less on muslims and their faith.
