Danish Muslims have strongly condemned one of the country’s largest newspapers for publishing drawings of the Prophet Muhammad, writes Al-Jazeera.net.

A group of 16 Muslim organisations issued a statement on Wednesday demanding that Jyllands-Posten apologise for printing the drawings.

“The newspaper has with its action deliberately stepped on Islam’s ethical and moral values with the purpose of contempt and ridiculing Muslims’ feelings, their holy sites and their religious symbols,” the group said.

  2. One doese not always agree with what you have to say, however, Europe has fought wars to give one the right to say it.
    Do not give in to anyone that tries to take this right away from you.
