Denmark Explores Legal Solutions to Halt Quran Burnings

The Danish government is exploring legal options to prevent protesters from burning the Quran outside embassies in the country, following recent demonstrations in Denmark and Sweden. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen stated that intervention may be necessary in situations where other countries, cultures, and religions are insulted, and where there could be significant negative consequences for Denmark's security. Sweden is also considering amending its Public Order Act to allow the police to stop demonstrations that threaten national security. Muslim countries have protested the desecration of the Quran, with Saudi Arabia and Iraq calling for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to address the issue.
