Denmark considers measures against culturally, religiously motivated attacks
ANKARA (AA) – Denmark is considering measures against culturally and religiously motivated attacks following recent Quran burnings.
In a statement, the Danish government said the Quran burnings had taken on dimensions aimed at provoking and harming Denmark and other nations.
The statement described acts of burning Quran as extremely aggressive, reckless and not representative of Danish society.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen also said the government is examining ways to intervene in situations where cultures and religions are degraded.
He said such actions could hurt the country’s security.
Earlier Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had a telephone conversation with Rasmussen.
Fidan stressed that Islamophobia in Europe has reached alarming levels and is even becoming an epidemic.
He said that it is unacceptable to allow such actions under the guise of freedom of expression.
Fidan called on the Danish government to take immediate action to prevent these attacks.
