Denmark charges man for burning Quran

A 42-year-old man who burned a Quran and posted a video of it on Facebook has been charged with blasphemy in Denmark, a striking decision by prosecutors in a country that is largely secular but has grappled with the role of Islam in public life.
The decision stunned many Danes: No one has been convicted of blasphemy in Denmark since 1946, and the country has a long tradition of free speech; burning the flag is not a punishable crime.
Simmering tensions between religious sensitivities and free speech have been a theme in Denmark since 2005, when the newspaper Jyllands-Posten published 12 cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. The depictions outraged many Muslims, who consider such representations to be blasphemous.

quote:Based on this, should be a pretty open and shut case.
Mr. Paludan also noted that in 1997, a Danish artist burned a copy of the Bible on a news show by a state broadcaster but was not charged. “Considering that it is legal to burn a Bible in Denmark, I’m surprised then that it would be guilty to burn the Quran,” he said in a phone interview.
quote:Self defense seems like kind of a stretch. He should just stick to citing the precedent.
His lawyer, Rasmus Paludan, argued that his client had burned the Quran in “self-defense.” “The Quran contains passages on how Mohammed’s followers must kill the infidel, i.e. the Danes,” he said. “Therefore, it’s an act of self-defense to burn a book that in such a way incites war and violence.”

Somebody did that a while back, and no they weren't charged.

WE MUST walk on eggshells at all times with Muslims. They are delicate snowflakes with delicate feelings. They, apparently, are the only group of people on the planet who have the right to not be offended.

Sharia Law coming soon to the Danes.

So lemme see if I got this straight -
Islam is a 'religion' that says it is a moral duty to punish anyone who insults Islam.
Therefore, any government - in its zeal to remain secular - must punish anyone whose action might insult a muslim.
Did I get this right???

To me this is an indictment that Islam preaches violence. Why? A Bible is burned and there are no charges because Christians won't turn violent as a result, but Denmark knows that burning the Quran would incite Muslims to react violently.

Gaydom is a form of blasphemy against Islam
When is Denmark going to prosecute the gays?

No difference in that and Arizona floating a measure that would allow criminal charges be brought against organizers of protests which turn violent...it is all about public safety after all...

Can you articulate a difference? It is all about public safety, right? Burning the quran causes riots and therefore anyone burning Quran is responsible for enticing a riot...organizing a protest that turns violent is enticing a riot...there isn't a difference...but it is bad in Denmark when the rioters are Muslims and the enticer is not but it is good in Arizona when the rioters are leftists....
I fully understand that many of you are incapable of seeing the similarities because it calls your world view into qeustion...i get that....

This is what Muslims do when you let them into your country in high enough numbers. It's like if AIDS were a religion

So you're equating organized violence with burning a book? Ok
