"Danish Opposition Rallies Against Government's Ban on Koran Burnings"

Seven Danish opposition parties have objected to the government's plan to make it illegal to burn copies of the Koran, arguing that it would infringe upon freedom of expression. The parties, ranging from the far-right to the far-left, argue that civil liberties should always take precedence over religious dogmas and that giving in to outside pressure could open the door to foreign interference in national politics. Despite the opposition, the government intends to continue its efforts to prevent Koran burnings.
