The burning of the Quran sparks escalating tensions between Denmark and Iraq. In a recent incident, members of the group “Danish Patriots” burned a copy of the holy book in front of the Iraqi embassy in Copenhagen. Protests erupted in Baghdad in response to similar incidents in Sweden and Denmark. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei denounces the desecration, demanding severe punishment. Diplomatic relations strain as Iraq expels Sweden’s ambassador. The situation raises concerns over free speech, religious sensitivities, and international relations.
