(Anadolu) A far-right Danish Islamophobic politician known for his controversial Quran-burning protests in Denmark has been banned from participating in the Folkemodet political festival on the island of Bornholm.
The local police authorities on Tuesday imposed the ban on the presence of Rasmus Paludan around the festival area in and around the Allinge village from June 14 in the morning until midday on June 18 on the grounds that his presence would represent both a risk to himself and to other participants.
Paludan torched copies of the Muslim holy book, Quran, near a mosque and outside the premises of the Turkish Embassy in Copenhagen earlier this year. The act attracted condemnation from all around the world.
