i also see the reverse potentially being present
no one was paying attention
he would burn those books without an audience, if he obtained the requisite fire burning permit
and if he adhered to the local laws governing the possession of arms
so, to gain an audience - witness this thread - he defies authorities
and pretends the estoppel of his action is based on the korans to be burned rather than his non-compliance with the burning and weapons laws
Also possible - which would also suggest that the arrest may be counterproductive if, as you claim, there was no audience.
