That's rediculous, and I have to agree, it ambarresses me as an American as well.
Quite frankly, those who burn books are ignorant savages. On the topic of "Witchcraft" I of course have to bring up the Salem, though they weren't books, burnings. It was a hysteria brought by people having different religions, and puritans becoming jealous. Perhaps history is repeating itself, though in a way that isn't to cause such a huge morale outrage.
Just my opinion, odd as it is
