Danish newspaper slanders prophet
The Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) expressed strong condemnation over the slandering of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) by the Danish newspaper “Jyllands-Posten,” published from Copenhagen.
ISESCO, in a press statement, stated that this slander is a violation of international law, which forbids the infringement of peoples’ religious beliefs."
The statement said that running cartoons allegedly of Prophet Muhammad is not an expression of the freedom of opinion and faith, nor is it a part of human rights; it is rather a blasphemy and calumny. "One billion and three hundred million Muslims throughout the world consider this slander against their Prophet by the newspaper as an aggression against them all.
Consequently, they call on the paper to apologize to all Muslims,” ISESCO said. Danish Muslims condemned the Danish daily for publishing some 12 cartoons featuring the prophet in a despicable manner.
