Members of the far-right group Danish Patriots, recognized for his or her anti-Islamic and ultra-nationalist stance, burned two copies of the Quran in Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen Monday.
The incidents occurred in entrance of the Iranian Embassy and later in entrance of the Iraqi Embassy in Copenhagen.
The group’s members chanted slogans insulting Islam and confirmed disrespect by stepping on the Iranian flag and the Quran, which they threw on the bottom earlier than setting them on fireplace.
They live-streamed the offensive moments on their social media accounts.
The Danish Patriots claimed their actions had been a response to Iran’s announcement of arresting and prosecuting members of their group and supporters.
The group members then got here in entrance of the Iraqi Embassy, the place they burned the Iraqi flag and the Quran once more. The group, which opened an anti-Muslim banner, continued its insulting rhetoric in opposition to Islam right here as properly.
Journalists intently monitored the incidents which occurred underneath heavy safety measures by the police.
The group, which burned the Quran in entrance of the Iraqi Embassy in Copenhagen on Saturday, had beforehand insulted Islam by attacking the Turkish flag and the Quran in entrance of the Turkish Embassy in Copenhagen.
Denmark condemned the burning of the Quran on Saturday.
