it has to be passed in a democratically elected parlament. It may not get passed.
it is an extension of an existing law that forbid burning of flags (except the Danish flag Dannebrog)

burning the fucking Quoran is the right way to dispose of it according to itself
a democratically elected government can do undemocratic things (and they often do)
the existing law is idiotic

Please link to the verse of the Quran you refer to. I don't believe you.

Why is the existing law idiotic? What problems do you have with it?

Not a link to a Quran quote, but it mentions the 3 main ways Islamic teachings state to dispose of old/broken Qurans.

1.burying 2.placing in flowing water 3.burning

Also a fun fact, these only pertain to The Quran in Arabic. Any other language is not considered to be literally Allah’s words and does not have to be discarded in those ways.

old/broken

that is a very important differentiator here.
