TL;DR Summary

Denmark's parliament has passed a bill making it illegal to burn copies of the Quran in public places, following protests and security concerns over the desecration of the holy book. The move comes after anti-Islam activists in Denmark and Sweden burned or damaged Qurans, leading to tensions with Muslims and calls for a ban on the practice. Critics argue that such limitations on criticizing religion undermine liberal freedoms, but the Danish government maintains that the new rules will have minimal impact on free speech.
