People trying to incite violence succeeded, but sure, let's put all blame on the assholes whose behavior was already a crime.

There's no shortage of ways to talk shit about a religion that do not threaten the lives of complete strangers.

Did Denmark ban inciting violence or did they ban burning books with this law?

Because there’s no shortage of ways to incite violence that do not involve burning books.

And none of them count unless they're all identical?

Denmark banned one way in which assholes were goading other assholes. They don't have to end either brand of asshole-ism for that to be sensible policy.
