Denmark floats Quran-burning ban after far-right protests
Denmark is considering banning events where “religions are being insulted,” the foreign ministry said Sunday after Qurans were burned in recent weeks by far-right groups in front of foreign embassies from Muslim-majority countries in Copenhagen.
The Danish government will “explore the possibility of intervening in special situations where, for instance, other countries, cultures, and religions are being insulted,” the foreign ministry said in a statement, adding the burnings were “deeply offensive” and “play into the hands of extremists.”
