Muslim Council of Britain condemns ‘wanton act of incitement’ after Rasmus Paludan responds to incident at Kettlethorpe High School
A far-Right Danish politician is threatening to burn a Koran in Wakefield after a schoolboy received death threats when a copy of the holy book was dropped.
Rasmus Paludan, the extremist leader of Danish political party Stram Kurs (Hard Line), has become known for holding events where he burns copies of the Koran, some of which have led to violent counter-protests.
However, in his latest stunt, he published a video on Twitter announcing that he is planning to burn a copy of the Islamic holy book in Wakefield, West Yorkshire this week to coincide with Ramadan. He claims he is doing this to ensure “undemocratic forces” in the city “understand and respect democracy”.
There is nothing “extremist” about torching a Koran, the extremists are the ones trying to prevent you from doing so.
