I thought this was an interesting article. Turning religious freedom around, to see if all the people who support the building of that Mosque will defend this churches freedoms.

Clever move if you ask me.

I just saw a fresh interview with the pastor on Swedish TV. His reasoning for their motives was very sound.

But he also said they might not even do it, "maybe it's not necessarly to do the last step, if it turns out we already accomplished what we wanted". I dunno what I think about that. I think they or someone else should do it.

This confused me for a minute:  how can a protest accomplish anything without actually doing the protest?  But then I realized that if the purpose is to make a stink, that mission has been accomplished in advance by the media.  So the purpose has probably been more or less accomplished already in America ... the actual burning would just be a bookend.  Contrariwise, if they DIDN'T actually burn the books, it would take a lot of wind out of the sails of the angry mobs out in Crazystan. 

What does "make a stink" mean?

Partly it's already mission accomplished because they showed how easily and hysterically radical muslims are provoked. But only partly.
