Five protesters burned a copy of it Koran in front of the Egyptian embassy in Copenhagen today, in the third such incident in Denmark in less than a week, following similar incidents in Sweden that they got angry the muslims.

Denmark and Sweden have stated that they disapprove of the burning of the Koran but cannot prevent it while respecting the protection of freedom of speech. Last week, protesters in Iraq set fire to the Swedish embassy in Baghdad.

Today’s demonstration in Copenhagen by a group called “Danish Patriots» comes in continuation of similar actions of this group yesterday and last week in front of the Iraqi embassy. Two such incidents took place in Sweden last month.

The Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday called on the authorities of the European Union countries to “immediately review the so-called freedom of expression and the right to protest” in light of the Koran burning incidents.

Turkey said yesterday that it strongly condemns it “vile attack”as he called it, in the Koran and called on Denmark to take the necessary measures to prevent this “hate crime” against Islam.

The Danish government has condemned the incidents as “provocative and shameful actions”, but says it does not have the power to stop non-aggressive protesters.

“People enjoy broad freedom of speech when they protest,” Trini Baubach, a law professor at the University of Copenhagen, told Reuters, explaining the Danish law. “It doesn’t just involve verbal expression. People can express themselves in different ways, like burning things.”
