Denmark wants to prevent Koran burning

Denmark seeks "legal recourse" to stop Koran-burning demonstrations - but without restricting freedom of expression.

Denmark wants to prevent Koran burning - if possible. The Danish government is looking for ways and means to stop the protests, in which Muslim holy books are desecrated. In Denmark and Sweden, several demonstrations were held recently in which the Koran was set on fire or trampled on. This led to serious tensions between these two Nordic countries on the one hand and Islamic states on the other.

Denmark is now seen in many parts of the world as a country that enables or allows insults and denigration of other countries, according to Copenhagen. It is a fact that some protest actions were mainly about provocation.

"Negative consequences for Denmark"

That is why it is now being considered how to act or how to deal with such demonstrations, if they "offend other countries, cultures and religions and if they could have serious negative consequences for Denmark, not only in terms of security". Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen told the Danish Public Service DR. "The burning of the Koran is a deeply offensive and thoughtless act carried out by a few individuals. Those few individuals do not represent the values ​​on which Danish society is built," added the Danish Foreign Minister.

Denmark and Sweden have repeatedly stated that they regret the burning of the Koran, but cannot prevent it because of laws protecting freedom of speech and expression. Rasmussen also points out that any restrictions "of course must be done within the constitutionally protected freedom of expression." Respect for freedom of speech and expression is widespread in Denmark and is one of the most important values ​​in this country.

"Abominations"

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson wrote on Instagram that he is in close contact with his Danish counterpart, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen when it comes to the desecration of the Koran. Sweden has already begun to "review the legal situation" and consider "measures to strengthen national security and the safety of Swedes in Sweden and around the world."

According to Reuters news agency, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan called on Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom to take concrete steps to prevent further burning of the Koran. The continuation of these "hateful acts" under the guise of freedom of expression is unacceptable. Fidan previously made a similar request to Denmark./DW
