Protesters burn Quran outside Iraqi embassy in Denmark

Two protesters staged a Quran burning in front of the Iraqi embassy in the Danish capital on Monday. Those involved were part of a group called ‘Danish Patriots,’ who have staged similar demonstrations before. The protesters were filmed stamping on the Quran before setting it alight next to an Iraqi flag on the ground. It’s feared that this latest protest could spark further unrest in Iraq, where Muslims outraged at a similar protest in Sweden last week stormed the Swedish embassy, setting the building on fire. Crowds have already attempted to do the same with Baghdad’s Danish embassy, but were repelled by security forces.
