I wonder how they phrased that. “innappropriate treatment of religious texts” sounds a bit vague and medieval / before the age of enlightenment.

And you have the usual issues determining what counts as text and what counts as religious. (And what is innappropriate.)

What if I think burning them is the appropriate treatment for religious texts? Seems pretty likely that someone would think that.

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.

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…

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

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.

And none of them count unless they’re all identical?

Denmark banned one way in which assholes were goading other assholes. They don’t have to end either brand of asshole-ism for that to be sensible policy.

Threats of violence and the following up of them have historically always been highly effective strategies. Denmark did nothing special here.
