That would be terribly dangerous. Laminate floor burns very well, putting aside the fact that it would warp due to the heat. You can put down a brick pad(using morter) twice the footprint of the stove on the laminate floor to avoid any danger or damage to your home.

Stove clearance advice the minimum safe distance between a wood stove and surrounding walls and floors. Don't place a wood stove in the basement,because it will lose heat and immediately ruin the Laminate Floor..

You will need to take precautions and not place the stove directly onto the laminate; create some kind of stage or step with concrete or bricks.
