Danish Parliament Approves Bill to Stop Quran Burnings

Sudan Events – Sumaya Sayed

Denmark’s parliament approved a bill on Thursday criminalizing the public burning of copies of the Quran. The decision comes in response to protests in Muslim nations over the desecration of Islam’s holy book, which raised security concerns in Denmark. The new law aims to address sensitivities surrounding religious symbols and prevent potential unrest stemming from the desecration of the Quran in public spaces.
Domestic critics in Sweden and Denmark have argued that any limitations on criticizing religion, including by burning Qurans, undermine hard-fought liberal freedoms in the region
