Here's a quote from the decision

"Burning a cross in the United States is inextricably intertwined with the history of the Ku Klux Klan, which, following its formation in 1866, imposed a reign of terror throughout the South, whipping, threatening, and murdering blacks, southern whites who disagreed with the Klan, and "carpetbagger" northern whites. The Klan has often used cross burnings as a tool of intimidation and a threat of impending violence, although such burnings have also remained potent symbols of shared group identity and ideology, serving as a central feature of Klan gatherings."

That's a NEXUS. It shows a CONNECTION between the act of burning a cross and violence. "Inextricably intertwined" = nexus. Actually, it equals a strong nexus.

There is a nexus between cross burning and impending violence

There is NOT a nexus between Quran burning and impending violence.

If there was a history of Quran burning in the US that was connected (iow a nexus) with impending violence, then we'd have a different story here.
