I kind of agree, but I think it would need to be more than just burning a Qu'ran, you'd also need some inflammatory speech, like "death to Muslims" or something that would be intended to move them to violence.
Regardless, I do think there are circumstances where burning a holy book could be included as evidence in a hate crime case.
