Denmark's New Quran Bill Amid Terror Threats; What It Bans, Punishes | Key Details
Published on Dec 08, 2023 05:04 pm IST
Denmark's parliament on Thursday passed a law making it illegal to burn Islam's holy book Quran in public places. The vote followed a five-hour debate in parliament and 94 members voted in favour, 77 against. The Danish parliament has banned the "inappropriate treatment" of religious texts - with a bill widely known in the country as the Quran law. Offenders now face a fine or up to two years in jail after a 94-77 vote. This is seen as Copenhagen's bid to de-escalate tensions with Muslim countries after a spate of anti-Quran protests in the country, causing outrage. #denmark #quranburnings #law #ban #danishparliament #debate #vote #quranlaw #offense #punishableoffense #islam #holybook #copenhagen #jail #muslimnations #outrage #terroristthreats #sweden Hindustan Times Videos brings all the News for the Global Indian under one umbrella.
