I believe Muslims are far more sensitive to any sort of physical insult to the Qu'ran than Christians would be in the case of the Bible. As a Christian, I should be sad if someone felt it appropriate publicly to burn a copy of the Bible, but I wouldn't feel the same sense of outrage and desecration which a Muslim would feel in the case of the Qu'ran.
Also, I doubt whether a Muslim would want to call a veil a 'face mask.'
