COPENHAGEN: A Danish court on Friday fined two men 10,000 kroner ($1,500) each for desecrating the Holy Quran, including the leader of an anti-Islamic party.
The men were found to have violated a law banning “inappropriate treatment of a religious text”, which was implemented in December 2023. The law was drafted after protests that involved desecrations and burnings of the Quran in Denmark and Sweden sparked anger in several Muslim countries. According to the ruling, one of the two men, born in 1988, tore pages from an English edition of the Quran before dropping the book into a puddle of water.
