In Denmark, those who like the Quran can be imprisoned for up to two years

The Danish government will introduce a bill prohibiting the desecration of religious texts in public places. This was reported by Reuters, relying on Danish minister of Justice Peter Hummelgaard.

It is currently unknown when Parliament will review the document.

"The government proposes a bill that prohibits the mistreatment of objects of great religious significance for believers. For example, punishment will be activated for the mass burning of the Quran, Bible or Torah,” said the Danish minister of Justice.

Hummelgaard responded to representatives of seven Danish opposition parties that banning the burning of the Quran violates freedom of expression. 

“I think there are more civilizing ways to express personal feedback than burning objects,” said the head of the Ministry of Justice.

Violation of the ban is expected to result in a fine or up to two years in prison.

During the summer in Denmark, as well as in Sweden, many actions were held with the participation of far-right nationalists, in which copies of the Quran were burned or otherwise desecrated. This aroused discontent in Muslim countries, which demanded that Danish and Swedish authorities ban such actions.

In July, Denmark said it would find a legal measure to prevent foreign nations from burning copies of the Quran in front of their embassies in Denmark. Sweden has also stated that it is exploring ways to legally limit the desecration of the Quran.
