    The problem is, as usual, Flying Spaghetti Monster showing that it’s hard to define what is a religion, therefore abuse

      I think intent plays a role here. If the goal is to incite a reaction or to hurt a population by publicly burning something that they care about, it’s probably not a great to do

      One of those things where you know when you see it, but it’s hard to define explicitly.

      If anything, it might help as a temporary measure to reduce tensions and inflammatory incidents

      The bill has since been reworked to specify that it only applies to holy books from religions recognised in Denmark.

      I guess it’s now more clearly defined to reference to religion recognized by Danish administrations.

          Hard to say. I doubt it though.

          As insincere/foolish as our politicians can be, they do seem to take that part somewhat serious.

          Like, Scientology isn’t recognized as a religion and such. The list of religions outside of the abrahamic ones is surprisingly short.
