Berlin, (EFE).- A group calling itself ‘Danish Patriots’ carried out another burning of a copy of the Koran in Copenhagen, in front of the Egyptian embassy, according to local media.
This is the third incident of this nature that has occurred in the Danish capital in the last week.
The day before, the same group had burned another copy in front of the Iraqi embassy, which led to harsh diplomatic tensions and disorder in Baghdad.
In Sweden, there were two Koran burnings last month, which also raised tensions. In Baghdad a group of protesters violently entered the Swedish embassy and set it on fire.
Iraq had yesterday called on the countries of the European Union to “review the so-called freedom of opinion and demonstration.”
Other Muslim-majority countries, such as Iran and Turkey, have also condemned the burning of the Koran.
