10. Book-burning is only a start.
Read your history. If you've forgotten pre-WWII Germany already, you certainly will not remember the Spanish Inquisition. This symbolism is as dangerous as it gets. This is nothing less than a hate crime. Expression, my foot!

And then they begin burning the people who practice those religions.
