Does this apply to all works of fiction, or only those believed by extremist groups?

I can understand not being allowed to burn historically significant documents and books, but mass-produced books are just cheap fire tinder.

If a book is important to one or more ethnic groups, burning it is a hate crime, period. Being mass produced has nothing to go with it.
