Anti-Islamic Group Burns Quran Copies in Front of Muslim Embassies in Danish Capital

COPENHAGEN (IQNA) – Members of an anti-Islamic and ultranationalist group escalated attacks on the Quran, desecrating copies of the Muslim Holy Book despite condemnations and protests from all over the Islamic world.

Members of the Danske Patrioter, or Danish Patriots, burned copies of the Quran in front of the Turkish, Pakistani, Algerian, Indonesian and Iranian embassies in Copenhagen.

The provocations, in which anti-Islamic slogans were shouted, took place under police protection.

Videos shared by the group on Facebook are restricted.

Recent months have seen repeated acts of Quran burning, desecration or attempts to do so by Islamophobic figures or groups, especially in Sweden and Denmark, drawing outrage from Muslim countries and the world.
