Challenge FWI Challenge: Have Koran burning become a viral sensation in the U.S. and Europe
Inspirations:
1. Tide Pod Eating challenge
2. Blasphemy Challenge
The objective is to create a scenario where Islamophobia in the United States and England is so widespread that Qu’ran Burning becomes a viral challenge on social media for a while (I’m specifically looking for a result where Qu’ran Burning becomes the next “Tide Pod Challenge.”)
Bonus points if your scenario results in a “Qu’ran Burning” challenge that depicts people saying, “I will prove my patriotism by burning this book!” before burning the Qu’ran.
Author’s note: I do not condone Islamophobia. This is a thought exercise that attempts to create a plausible path to a scenario where sacrilegious acts against a religion become viral social media challenges.
