Kidplayer_666,

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

Hirom,

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.

Kidplayer_666,

Didn’t they get legal recognition in like Germany or something? Maybe Denmark is next

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.

derbis,

It was in Austria, I think. You’re thinking of the colander-head ID photo?

TheFriendlyArtificer,

Can I expect similar protections for The Satanic Verses, or is this another instance of religion being afforded a special status with the power to control non-adherents lives?

I always get the two mixed up.

The scope of the bill seems too broad. This will give political ammo to the right-wing populists, who are already riding the wave of anti-immigration.
