TL;DR Summary

The Danish parliament has passed a bill that criminalizes Quran burnings, with offenders facing fines or up to two years in jail. The legislation aims to combat the "systematic mockery" that raises terror threat levels in Denmark. Quran burnings in Denmark and Sweden earlier this year sparked outrage in the Muslim world. Critics argue that the bill restricts freedom of expression, while supporters believe it is necessary to protect national security. The bill now awaits the signature of Queen Margrethe before becoming law.
