The Danish government said on Friday it was proposing legislation that would make it illegal to burn copies of the Koran in public places, part of the Nordic country's effort to de-escalate tensions with Muslim countries.

    Thats what I say, the radicals in the OIC and muslim community should not be appeased by making this useless law.

      This isn’t about appeasing them and the vast majority of people supporting these kind of laws are not radicals, they are your countrymen, your neighbors and your communities who think things have gone too far.

        Of course it is, it is basically the statement that the government released when they presented this law. The final paragraph is about not provoking people. The rest is about national interests, Al-Qaeda, the difficulties of doing international business, the added dangers of travelling in the world. It is ALL about appeasing so that the pressure is removed from Denmark so that we can be left alone again. THAT is the ONLY purpose.

        Bring some data to your claims, first you claim that there was NO tension between muslims and ethnic danes before 2005. That is demonstrably untrue, and an ignorant claim. Then you moved the goalposts by saying “virtually no tension”. Now you claim that the “vast majority” of people who want this law think things have gone too far? I can find no such evidence. I have engaged a lot of people in debate over this and most of them end up arguing that we should do it to preserve the peace so that our country is not the target of terrorist attacks. The rest are just tired of Paludan and hope that this law will stop him (it wont).

        I found this, which states that the majority of people believe that the government made this law to stop terrorism and help trade relations.
