Quran Desecration in Denmark
The stunt attracted a group of angry locals, one man was detained.
The activists, led by the party’s head Rasmus Paludan appeared in Fredericia on Friday afternoon. While the protest was originally expected to take place at a local park, the group instead stood on a cordoned-off lawn by a local supermarket under watch of multiple police officers.
The Stram Kurs members tossed around and burned several copies of the Holy Book, insisting the stunt was needed to send a political message.
“What we are doing today is, we are telling the truth about Islam, because many people in Denmark don't know what Islam is about, so we want to explain what Islam is about, and that the values and judgments of Islam are very, very in contradiction to Danish western European values,” Paludan stated.
The stunt attracted a group of angry locals, who condemned the Stram Kurs’ activities. Footage from the scene shows one man detained by the police after he breached the cordoned-off lawn reserved for the provocative stunt.
The far-right party, founded back in 2017, has repeatedly engaged in similar stunts in Denmark, as well as in neighboring Nordic countries. The latest – and arguably one of the most ‘efficient’ – protests of the kind were held by the party late in August in Sweden’s Malmo.
