Unsatisfied with the reaction of the Danish Government and Jyllands-Posten in particular, and with the situation of Danish Muslims in general, which they perceived as racist and condescending, a group of Danish Muslim clerics from multiple organisations set out for a tour of the Middle East to present their case and ask for support.^[1] For this purpose this 43-page dossier was created.^[2][3]

Translation from Arabic: "Dossier about support for the prophet Muhammad"

In the name of God the merciful

Thanks to God, the ruler of the worlds, and may peace be with the last prophet, etc....

We, Muslims living in the kingdom of Denmark, we present our conditions in this country, which are situated in the northern part of Europe, and is one of the Scandinavian countries, to whom it may concern and to each and every Muslim.

This country has it own language. The rule is constitutional Monarchy. The country consists of a number of islands, the capitol is Copenhagen, the number of citizens a 5 millions and most of them are protestants (Christian). Even though they belong to the Christian faith, the secularizations have overcome them, and if you say that they are all infidels, then you are not wrong.

Muslim emigrants (Turks) and refugees from countries crushed by wars (Bosnia, Somalia, Iraq, Lebanon) has migrated to this country, and thus is Denmark’s interaction with foreigners, and especially those who have an other religion, something rather new, which has happened through past 20-30 years, well knowing, that the number of Muslims possible is 170.000

The faithful in their religion (Muslims) suffer under a number of circumstances, first and foremost the lack of official recognition of the Islamic faith. Which lead to a lot of problems, especially the lack of right to build mosques.

Among these conditions you find an atmosphere, which nourish a growing racism, which grow worse after the 9/11 incidents. And it, the racism, has many different expressions, but common for them all is that they speak badly about Islam. (Sometimes the talk of the veil, circumcising etc.)

The crown of the works was the pictures of so-called drawings, which shows the prophet (PUBH) in a disgusting and outrageous way. The circumstances of this case is, that after many artist, out of fear from Muslim reactions, has declined to draw the prophet to the cover of a book about Islam, the Jyllands-Posten objected to this reluctantly to make the drawings, and as they deliberately wanted to challenge. The feelings of the Muslims then did the following covering up behind the excuse of free speech and democracy. They wrote to 40 cartoonists and challenged them to compete about the best drawing. Most of did not respond; only 12 did. Next they (the paper) published those drawings (on September 30. th 2005). The pictures was accompanied by the editors remarks, which in short was about, that Muslims should accept this kind of satire, because this is one of the cornerstones in democracy, which ensures the freedom of speech. They therefore have not to feel offended, on equal terms of others who are being subject of satire.

Because of the seriousness of the situation, most Muslim unions and centers called for a meeting on Sunday 2. October to agreed upon number of actions to counter the hard attack, (from the newspaper) which had the intention of degrading the most glory full of persons in life (The prophet PUBH).

• The gathered agreed on forming a committee for support of the prophet Mohammad (PUBH) and announce Sheik Rais Huleihil to chairman of the committee.
• The criticism of what was said in the newspaper is represented by a statement of the wise, which was translated to Danish, but only fragments of it was published.

(continued from previous page) (This translation is based on a 2ndary translation through Danish. A better translation is needed)

• A call to Muslims on participating in raising their voice to the newspaper in their own way, and to the medias at hand, to tell them that this cause represent a red thread for all Muslims, and not only the wise.
• Direct demands for an apology from the newspaper, and promises of that is would never happen again, and in future to respect all that is holy to the Muslims. (Follow sharia law)
• Collecting signatures among the Muslims against the newspapers actions on one side, and furthermore for support of the Muslim unions initiative to counterattack this and other attacks.
• Sending letters to political persons and political parties, to inform them of the seriousness of the situation, so that they can do their duty.
• Contact local and global medias, especially because they ignored the issue so far.

When we did not get the wanted response from the responsible persons at the paper, and after the Danish PM on purpose ignored the Islamic ambassadors request for at meeting with him, we asked for a second meeting at October 9 th 2005, from which a statement was issued to local and global medias.

After the al-Djazira TV channel had broadcasted this news, the newspaper stepped up the conflict be reserving extra space on its homepage, with the headline “The pictures of the prophet” In additions the newspaper, very unusually, wrote an article in Arabic with the headline “The free word”, and it presented what al-Djazira had broadcasted, but insisted on their standpoint and stepped up the number of pages to cover this subject, with the purpose of giving space for them who were in support of the paper, and they presented the case as if it was freedom against suppression.

Among the noteworthy developments is the European Unions support to the Danish PM’s standpoint on not to meet with the Muslim ambassadors, because he claim not to interfere, due to his claim of that constitution does not allow this.

On this background the Islamic organizations released a new statement, which demanded the Muslim world to intervene, now that the issue had become international, and because the issue had to do with our prophet (PUBH), and this concerns all Muslims in the world not only the Danish Muslims, because we can not allow any form of slogan, or apology, in this kind of insult of our prophet.

The case was dealt with at state leadership level in the Muslim world, as shown in the following argument.

Several conditions made our pain and anger greater:

• 1. The ridicule of Islam and its followers has become an easily distributed commodity, thus an almost closed newspaper published pictures which were much more offending at November 11, probably to regain its popularity, and this paper is the “Weekendavisen”.
• 2. Muslims in this period received, and especially those who participated in protest of the printing of the drawings, different letter which in subject differed between threads and degeneration of Islam itself through attack on the Koran, as the claimed that it was invented, and they repeated the attacks on the prophet (PUBH) by sending animated pictures which was much more offending, and which can only come from a deep hatred to Islam itself as a religion
• 3. Denmark greeted the Dutch author of Somali decent, who is the author of the film, that degrades Islam, and whose producer was killed recently in Holland. The reception for her was a continuation of the aggression especially because she gave an interview to Danish television where she talked about Islam in a degrading way. And the most strange is, that the prime minister, which said no to meet with the ambassadors, welcomed her and awarded her with a price, just as he showed his approval of her courageous points of view, and that he supported her fee opinions. So now you se how it is....

(continued from previous page) (This translation is based on a 2ndary translation through Danish. A better translation is needed) Because of this, the organization called for a new meeting, where it was decided to put together several delegations, which should visit the Islamic world, with the intention of informing them about the danger of the situation, and get them to participate in the defense of support of our prophet (PUBH)

Our delegations visited the Republic of Egypt, and held a number of good and very positive meetings:

• A meeting with the ministry of foreign affairs, whose minister declared to the press, that this insult of Islam from the Danish press, is a scandal, and the promised to take up the matter at the Arabic Conference and with the Arabic Leque.
• A meeting with the general secretary for the Arabic Leque, which was very positive - A meeting with al-Azhar’s sheik, whom reacted to the issue, and demanded a priority meeting at al-Azhar’s research center, to stop the attack.
• A meeting with the Egyptian Grand Mufti, which resulted in issuing a fatwa about boycotting Denmark, if the country did not, redrew its actions.

The meeting at the research center resulted in a statement on January 8 Th, which condemned these actions, and described it as an attack on Islam, which broke all borders for acceptable communications in dialogue. The statement made it clear, that they would take contact to relevant committees at the United nations, and to human right organizations in the defense of the right of the individual, and the protection of the cultural diversity, because one doesn’t want to promote the culture of hatred, and the demise of other people.

In the end we ask upon everybody that is eager to join the defense and support of the prophet. Seeking by all means which are available to establish a legislation, which guarantied the respect for all that which is holy in particular the Muslims holy places in a time where it has become easy to hit their holy places in cover of the fight of terror.

Translation from Danish:

• (left side): "The Many Faces of Muhammad. Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten has asked members of the Danish association of newspaper cartoonists to draw Muhammad as they see him. 12 out of 40 replied, and we are printing them ... (last line garbled)".
• (Right side): "The modern secular society is rejected by some Muslims. They demand a special position, when they insist that special care is taken not to offend their own religious feelings. This is incompatible with a secular democracy and freedom of expression, where one must be prepared to face scorn or ridicule".

The Prophet Mohammad with a turban the shape of a bomb. A name, probably of the cartoon's creator, has been added.

An abstract drawing. A name, probably of the cartoon's creator, has been added.

• Translation from Danish: "Prophet, you crazy bloke! Keeping women under yoke" (freely translated)
• Translation from Arabic:

The Prophet Mohammad as a wanderer in the desert. A name, probably of the cartoon's creator, has been added.

A satire over the entire controversy, from the last (funny) page of the news paper. Everything is referred to as "Muhammad" (e.g. "Muhammad the chair") and the images are labelled with stickers saying that they don't want to be published.

"Pig person" picture. Strangely enough, this picture is believed to be a copy of a Bob Edme photo of Jacques Barrot, published by the AP as part of a 15 August 2005 article about a French "pig-squealing contest" [1] [2]
