The centre-right government said it wanted to send a signal to the world.

That Denmark negotiates with terrorists?

Depends on how they plan to handle it. If a new law was formed specifically around the Quran, there might be a case.

But if it's outlawing book burning in general, that's quite another story.

Personally, I don't understand why a law like that isn't already in place after WW2.

“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.” The intended target of this law is crystal clear.
