A Danish man who burned the Quran has been charged with blasphemy, the first such charge in the country in almost half a century.
The 42 year-old man burned the Muslim holy book in his backyard in December 2015 and then posted a video of it to a Facebook group, said Jan Reckendorff, the chief prosecutor.
Prosecutors say burning holy books like the Quran and the Bible is a violation of a penal code that deals with religious scorn and public mockery.
