Hadn't you figured that one out already? The way I see it, most of the
people who are screaming their lungs out against something, only do so
because their leaders tell them to. For example, no one in Iran has read
that Salman Rushdie book whose title has slipped my mind, I guarantee you
that, but still they want him dead. The same with burning records, books,
and so on.
