Denmark has temporarily increased border controls due to security concerns, following multiple incidents of Qurans being desecrated.

The decision was made by Denmark's Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard, who stated that it was necessary to take this measure in order to protect the public.

This measure will be in effect until August 10, and it is similar to the one recently implemented by Sweden.

Both countries are taking action in response to the recent string of violent protests against the desecration of the Quran.

The governments of Denmark and Sweden, and their intelligence agencies, have raised concerns about the deteriorating security situation in their countries, following several public desecrations of the Quran, including burnings.

In response to these incidents, Iraqi protesters stormed the Swedish embassy in Baghdad, setting fires on the premises.

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, an international organisation that represents 57 Muslim-majority nations, has expressed disappointment with Denmark and Sweden for failing to take action to prevent further desecrations.

While condemning the desecrations, Denmark and Sweden have upheld their laws regarding freedom of speech and assembly.

However, both countries have recently pledged to explore legal means of preventing such protests while still upholding freedom of expression.

This includes potentially restricting the burning of holy texts in certain circumstances.

The protection of religious sentiments and rights of assembly are important values for both countries, but they are attempting to strike a balance between these values and preventing unrest and violence.

These events have caused widespread anger and condemnation in Muslim countries.
