The message was clearly intended for the countries of the embassies. It didn't even make the news locally until the outrage against it was in the world news. The issue with book burnings should be addressed in the countries that have issues with book burning, not here. No one here cares.

If people want to fight a book that's their private decision and should be without consequence for the rest of the society.

It is. That's why it isn't prosecuted. The government doesn't care if you eat, burn, or bury a Bible. As it should be.

They do care. They're trying to find a way to stop it. That's the point of the article. It's the first sentence:

The Danish government will seek to "find a legal tool" that would enable authorities to prevent the burning of copies of the Koran in front of other countries' embassies in Denmark, Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen told the national broadcaster DR on Sunday.
