Danish far-right group burns Quran again outside Türkiye, Egypt embassies
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AA) – A far-right Danish Islamophobic group burned the Quran on Tuesday outside the Turkish and Egyptian embassies in Copenhagen.
The Danske Patrioter was behind the despicable act that has drawn condemnation from across the Muslim world.
Denmark has condemned the burning incident and called it a “shameful act” that disrespects the religion of others.
The Foreign Ministry said the provocative act hurts many and creates division between religions and cultures.
But authorities have not taken action against those responsible.
Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen spoke to his Iraqi counterpart on the issue.
A tweet by the minister said it was the act of few individuals and emphasized that all protests must remain peaceful.
“Repeated DK’s condemnation of these shameful acts carried out by few individuals. Emphasized that all protests must remain peaceful,” it said.
