Prosecution for blasphemy in Denmark

lundi 27 février 2017 à 01:00

A man who publicly burned a copy of the Qur'an, in Denmark, is being prosecuted for blasphemy.

This prosecution is an injustice. In addition, it will lend support to the Islamists that are pressuring for a global ban on criticism of their religion. That is not merely wrong in principle, it is a big threat to our freedom. Denmark should repeal this law.

Freedom of speech includes the freedom to criticize, condemn, insult, or mock any person, group, thing, institution, belief, or practice. Censorship is an attack on human rights, and we must fight against campaigns for censorship.
