COPENHAGEN (AFP): Denmark’s Government plans to ban Koran burnings, the Justice Minister said Friday, after a string of desecrations of Islam’s holy book in the Scandinavian nation sparked anger in Muslim countries.

The Government will present a bill that will “prohibit the inappropriate treatment of objects of significant religious importance to a religious community,” Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard told reporters, adding that the legislation was aimed especially at burnings and desecrations in public places.
