The Danish government assessed that the protests “have reached such a level that many parts of the world see Denmark as a country that insults and denigrates the culture, religion, and traditions of other countries."
The Danish government announced on August 30 that it will study legal measures to end protests involving the burning of sacred texts in some cases.
A statement from the Danish Foreign Ministry, quoted by a VNA correspondent in Europe, noted that extremists are trying to orchestrate such protests , forcing Copenhagen to “study” how to intervene in situations where “other nations, cultures or religions are being insulted, and when this issue could lead to serious negative consequences for Denmark, especially in terms of security.”
However, the statement stressed: “Of course, this must be done within the framework of the constitutionally protected right to freedom of expression and in a spirit that does not change the fact that freedom of expression in Denmark has a very broad scope.”
The Nordic country's government said the protests "have reached a level where many parts of the world view Denmark as a country that insults and denigrates the culture, religion, and traditions of other countries."
According to the assessment, the main purpose of such actions is to provoke and "lead to serious consequences".
Recent protests and burnings of the Koran in Denmark and Sweden have increased diplomatic tensions between Muslim countries in the Middle East and these two Nordic countries.
Many countries in the Middle East have summoned envoys from both Denmark and Sweden to work on this issue./.
