Why the terrible fuss over the burning of Holy Books?

Recently, an insane politician claimed that the holy books of the religion that she professes was burned in her home state and the crowd in front of her got provoked and turned into a mass anger. 

Later on, another senior politician confirmed that there wasn't any such event taking place in that state at all. What then? She has gone missing, kept so quiet and yet refused to apologize for her misinformation. 

First of all, why the big fuss over the burning of some holy books? Just call the fire department or take a bucket of water to put down the fire before it spreads or endanger anyone. That's it! No issue, just put off the fire. It is just a book. Books are normally written by someone, published, printed, reprinted, distributed or redistributed, later on re-edited, improvised or re-generated.

Books are normally written, copied, printed, produced, reprinted and reproduced by many people, many interest groups and individual contributors for the purpose of propagating some features, knowledge and teachings. 

People who read these books will sometimes have the same or different interpretations, opinions, expressions and many more kinds of aspects to the words written on books.

So, they are all just books. How much we rely on these depends on our faith towards the said features, knowledge or teachings. It is not about the book. It is about our faith, our heart and the inner side of ourselves.

Stop making an issue over a burned book, please!
