Reminds me of people who think that Allah is the Muslim god. Allah is simply the Arabic word for "god."

I do pro-domme work, and I was asked to do a scene like this in-person: desecrating the Quran, stomping it underfoot, wiping my ass with its pages, etc. I politely but firmly declined, saying that I would not be comfortable desecrating the Quran in this way. Here's why.
I'm an atheist, I don't care about anyone's religious book. BUT: I do know that, according to Islamic law, desecrating the Quran is one of the worst things you can do, and fundamentalists can and have killed people for doing it. When I was in the Army, one of our bases basically shut down because someone accidentally threw a Quran away and it got incinerated with the rest of the trash, and when the locals learned about it they refused to come to work, protested, generally lost their shit. It got really ugly.
Not every Muslim is batshit crazy enough to kill someone over desecrating their holy book, of course, but it's WAY different, culturally speaking, than desecrating a Bible or a Torah would be. Muslims hold the Quran to be a miracle in itself: the idea that Muhammad, an illiterate trader, was able to compose such beautiful poetry is actually a fundamental miracle within Islam. Desecrate the Quran and you desecrate the entire religion. People have been killed for doing this, and people will continue to be killed for doing this.
tl;dr: If the text in question is the Quran, for your own safety I would STRONGLY advise against making this kind of clip. Otherwise, have fun!
Hell no no question i would never ever do that. Never know what kind of consequences might come from that and don't wanna find out..
