If the Bibles are their property, you have no right to stop them. It doesn't diminish your faith for another to not have faith.

Why are they burning Bibles? IS what is in the Bible a threat to them in some way? To their way of life? Do they burn other books also? If so what are they? Why do they burn them? What do you know about them? In other words get to know them and understand where they are coming from. With out knowing them you can not understand them and there is no chance to stop them....Why do you want to stop them? Is it hurting you personally that they are burning the Bibles? Is it because of you they are burning the Bibles? If it is what did you do to bring the Bible Burning on? You need to get to know you also...
From history though....book burning (Bibles etc) only makes what is being burned stronger as those that believe become more united...so in many ways it works in reverse.

Burning bibles, religion bashing, hate speeches are all brought about by the lack of respect one has towards the other religion. There should be a fundamental change of attitude of respect without compromising belief that your religion is the only valid religion. And that would begin by finding common grounds and highlighting differences through good works.

You can't if that is the decision they have made; just as God gave you freewill he also gave the other person the same thing. Just don't let them burn yours. Maybe ask them what statement they are trying to make by burning bibles?

I do not agree with censorship of any kind. I have seen no burning of bibles in this country. In other places, I am not sure that you can stop it.

You can't if that one is so decided. But, if not you may try any of these:
1. Wet their match or the Bible.
2. Tie his hands.

It by itself isn't sacred. It is just a book made of paper. the words it contains are what is sacred. there are millions of copies out there so if they want to burn one, it is freedom of expression.
How is it any different then burning a flag?

In a free society you cannot, legally, stop them. Tolerating fools is the price of such freedoms.

Focus your attention on spreading the truth that is in Jesus, not in stopping evil. God will do that for us when the time comes.

You keep out of it because it's none of your business. It's just a book.
