New Testaments Burned

Israeli police are investigating the burning of hundreds of copies of the New Testament (Click here for the whole story from CNN). Interestingly enough, there's an editorial in this month's Christianity Today magazine (which I received in the mail yesterday) regarding the impoving conditions for Messianic Jews (those who believe Jesus is the Messiah) living in Israel. Apparently there is still some work to be done.

How should Christians respond to this? Recently when a US soldier shot up a copy of the Quran, there was outrage within the Muslim community. Should Christians respond similarly to the New Testament being treated with disrespect? Why or why not?
