Danish muslims not getting their way

Danish Muslims have strongly condemned one of the country's largest newspapers for publishing drawings of the Prophet Muhammad.

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.


On 30 September, the Jyllands-Posten daily printed 12 drawings by Danish cartoonists who had been asked to illustrate the prophet.


Jyllands-Posten, citing the freedom of speech, said it would not apologise for printing the drawings.


The paper said that after printing the drawings it received several threats, which have been reported to the police.


Nearly 150,000 Muslims live in Denmark, representing 2.8% of the country's 5.4 million residents.


Islam bans depictions of Prophet Muhammad.


Why do muslims seem to think they can get away with anything they like? Denmark is not a muslim country so if they don't like it they shouldn't be there. I am glad that Denmark isn't pandering to this despicable cult of murderous anti-freedom thugs.

Why is it that only insignificant countries like Denmark and the Netherlands will stand up to Muslims while relatively significant countries like Britain cower in the face of muslim demands?

Another questions should be, why does Islam ban depictions of their Prophet Muhammad? Is he that ugly or is the religion that backward? I say both.
