Shabana Rehman is not burning The Koran stunt

Standup comedian and writer Shabana Rehman is hosting the opening ceremony of The Norwegian Festival of Literature in Lillehammer in May 2008. At the end of the program she does a stunt to point out how protesters who burn books they don´t like, give these books greater power. For example, she says with irony: if she burns The Koran, it will gain more power. So if authors want their books to really make a difference, don´t be afraid that somebody will burn it.
