Quran desecrated in front of Iraqi embassy in Denmark
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AA): Members of an Islamophobic group in Denmark burned a copy of the Holy Quran on Friday.
The ultranationalist group called Danske Patrioter burned the holy book in front of Iraq’s Embassy in Copenhagen.
They also carried a banner with insulting slogans about Islam before stomping on the Iraqi flag and a copy of the Quran under police protection, as seen in the videos shared on social media.
The group said it did this to protest against the attack on Sweden’s embassy in Baghdad.
Early Thursday morning, a crowd of Iraqis stormed Sweden’s embassy in Baghdad and set it ablaze in protest against the June 28 burning of a copy of the Quran, Islam’s holy book.
