This guy is being deliberately provocative and I don't agree with his reasoning. Still, I wonder if the same outrage would be seen if someone were to burn Bibles or the Torah? How many death threats would be sent? Would anyone blame the deaths of soldiers on such a person? Would we blame the act for riots? Would there be any riots? We are so sensitive to Muslim religious rules we won't even depict pictures of Mohamed, just watch an episode of South Park to see how absurd it can get (like, it's Ok for us to make fun of every other religion, Jesus watches porn and some Hindu God snorts blow). Frankly, in a civil and modern society burning any religious book must be acceptable speech. Piss Christ was utterly despicable but acceptable, as is burning the Koran.
