Denmark’s government has announced a bill seeking to ban the public burning of the Quran. Expected to pass by the end of this year, the law prescribe a two-year jail-term, and a fine, for the
“inappropriate handling of objects with essential religious significance for a religious community.”
The move comes amidst rising terror threat levels after a string of Quran-burning incidents in Denmark and Sweden, with the latter, too, under pressure to take action.
