First, this is not official censorship. The Quran is not a banned book. Second, those exercising free expression including free expression of religion are not responsible for deliberate violent crimes committed by others. If these Christian Fundies believe they are right and that Islam is wrong, they have a right to express that and to burn their own Qurans if they want to.

Frankly, the Islamic world needs to get used to the idea that not everyone agrees with them. We should value freedom of expression at least as much as people in Islamic states value their imagined right not to hear of anything unpleasant.
