Far-right Danish group burns Quran in front of Turkish embassy

Denmark condemned the burning incident and referred to as it a “shameful act” that disrespects the faith of others.

The Foreign Ministry stated the provocative act hurts many and creates a division between religions and cultures. “Denmark has freedom of religion and many Danish citizens are Muslims. They are a valued part of the Danish population,” it stated in a tweet.

But authorities haven’t taken motion towards the perpetrators.

In response to condemnation from Iraq on the repeated desecration of the Quran in entrance of its embassy in Copenhagen, Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen spoke to his Iraqi counterpart in “a constructive conversation,” in line with a tweet by the Ministry.

“Repeated DK’s condemnation of these shameful acts carried out by few individuals. Emphasized that all protests must remain peaceful,” it stated.

In Sweden, a 31-year-old man, who beforehand requested police for permission to burn the Quran in entrance of the Iranian Embassy in Stockholm, gave up on his request.

Swedish state tv SVT reported that the person stated he regrets he utilized for permission as he “must respect” Islam and “apologize to all Iranians.”
