It's going to be passed by Folketinget tomorrow.

What is the difference between “try to ban” and ban? Is there a difference? Legislation has been submitted to make it illegal but it has not been voted on. Does that count as a try?

Or do you mean banning the burning of the Quran is ultimately futile and even if the government passes a ban, it is only a try?

predicted NO

@JimAusman it says in the description: Counts if legislation is passed.

@JimAusman one scenario I think is probable and counts as YES is legislation being blocked by the judiciary branch before coming into effect

WTF. Why would they do this without getting anything in return?

You could engage in moral trade where Denmark bans Quran burning if in return Saudi Arabia stops executing people or so but why ban it without getting anything in return?

@JustifieduseofFallibilism Idk for Denmark, but isn't Sweden's trade with Turkey about being let into NATO? Maybe it just spreads in Scandinavia from there. On the other hand the Sweden market is very low and this one is very high.

The government has already proposed legislation to ban burning the Quran. https://apnews.com/article/denmark-quran-burning-law-proposal-7f29b6824519975fbacc1e5e7dc57193

And about 50% of Danes support some kind of ban: https://www.thelocal.dk/20230901/one-in-two-in-denmark-support-ban-on-quran-burnings
