Danish and Swedish authorities have struggled to balance free speech with growing anger that security officials say has elevated the risk of terrorist attacks.
Denmark's government has said it will ban the burning of holy texts, including the Quran, in public. The move comes in response to anger in Muslim countries following a number of such incidents.
The Danish government on Friday said it will propose a law that would make it illegal to desecrate any holy book in Denmark, where a recent string of public desecrations of the Quran by a handful of anti-Islam activists has sparked angry demonstrations in Muslim countries.
