Denmark has banned the burning of holy books to protect its multicultural society

Qamar, Azher Hameed LU (2024)
Abstract
Denmark recently adopted a law to ban inappropriate treatment of any writing or object with religious significance – a peace initiative in the best interests of a multicultural society. I see this law as a step towards freedom of expression that will also help bridge social divides.
