Denmark to seek legal means to prevent Quran burnings
Al JazeeraAPR 2023
Desecration of holy texts isn't free speech; it's hate speech. All these acts seek to do is provoke Muslims in Europe and outside of it, and such actions have no place in a "free" society. Bigotry only makes the world worse and stimulates hatred, serving the agendas of extremists and contributing to the goals of their malevolent ideologies.
Though the intentional desecration of a holy text is certainly an unsavory act, there's a reason Europe doesn't possess blasphemy laws; to facilitate a free society. Legislation that would threaten said freedom of expression is a slippery slope that inadvertently demeans Muslims by singling them out as a community that requires special protection from free, open discourse.
