Today's Highlighted Video Story: A spate of Quran burnings in Denmark and Sweden has prompted the Danish government to propose a law banning public desecration of religious books. Denmark has been struggling to prevent the burnings, which are protected under current freedom of expression laws. The Danish government says it must act to stop the desecrations as they have increased the threat of terror attacks against Danish institutions and citizens.
