This is sad and unfortunate - by passing this law Denmark just announced to the world that threats of violence are a valid and effective strategy, ans that they do in fact negotiate with terrorists…
People trying to incite violence succeeded, but sure, let’s put all blame on the assholes whose behavior was already a crime.
There’s no shortage of ways to talk shit about a religion that do not threaten the lives of complete strangers.
Did Denmark ban inciting violence or did they ban burning books with this law?
Because there’s no shortage of ways to incite violence that do not involve burning books.
Come on, this is not about religion. This is about European superiority and the lack of respect of other cultures.
And trying to humiliate the minority of people with darker skin color by showing them that they don’t matter.
And part of that minority’s resistance against the humiliation marginalization by majority society.
Just to show who’s the aggressor in this case, a little six year old video: https://youtu.be/e7mqfmZS5xM?si=xTMrTNBXuXr2UDnO

This is just wrong. Why is it allowed to burn other books but not religious books? Denmark is a secular state. Bowing to the religious ideas of people is a step in the wrong direction. People should care less for religions and be less religious. There are no “holy books” or holy anything.
They should have banned book burning for political reason. Like this they wouldn’t have created a blasphemy law.
Meh, doesn’t sound much better. Could that not make this law even more authoritarian? What counts as political?
I hope the people on Denmark protest against this. I understand it is a sacred book for some people but the state and religion should be separate.
and they are. But inciting hatred by public book burnings has no place in a secular society.
Inciting hatred against anyone burning a fucking book has no place in a secular society.
You are aware of the book burnings by the Nazis and the islamist terror group Boko Haram? I think your
anyone burning a fucking book
is not as absolute as you make it to be.
What counts as a religious text in this law?
