Controversial Quran Burning at Iraqi Embassy in Denmark Sparks Outrage

Two protesters from a group called Danish Patriots burned a copy of the Quran outside the Iraqi embassy in Copenhagen, Denmark. This incident follows a series of Quran burnings in Sweden and Denmark, which have sparked protests in the Middle East. The Iraqi foreign ministry has called on European Union countries to reconsider freedom of expression and the right to demonstrate. The tension between Muslim countries and the Scandinavian nations escalated after a Christian Iraqi refugee in Sweden burned pages of the Quran. The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation suspended Sweden's special envoy status, and thousands of Iraqis protested in Baghdad.
