Why wouldn’t they? It’s just text. It’s not the original Quran. It’s not that big of a deal, but making it a big deal is a violation of the principle of free speech.
It´s is definitely not. Burning something and saying something are two particularly different things
I’d argue Muslims that immigrated from the middle east and having anti-gay parades with other hateful domestic morons is far worse than that.

They have completely different messages.
Anti gay parade: Gay people shouldn’t be allowed. We tell you how you should behave.
