"The decision smacks of "double-standards", said Ahmed Akkari,
spokesman for the Danish-based European Committee for Prophet
Honouring, the umbrella group that represents 27 Muslim
organizations that are campaigning for a full apology from
Jyllands-Posten.
"How can Jyllands-Posten distinguish the two cases? Surely they
must understand," Mr Akkari added."
Just remember that Mr. Akkari is one of the imams who at the same
time has been showing the forged false cartoons and pictures on
arab TV and to various officials in the middle east and has been
assuring the Danish media how sorry he is about what is happening
and offering to explain on Arabic TV together with our prime
minister. Double-standards? Absolutely! This man will stop at
nothing in his efforts to bring himself in focus.
But the rest of this story is irrelevant. The fact that the
newspaper has rejected unsolicited material at some point does
not prove anything. Jyllands-Posten has probably also rejected
quite a few unsolicited articles critical of Christianity or our
church or whatever... Does that prove that they have a hidden
agenda? That they hate Muslims? I think not. They have no
obligation what so ever to print anything, but what they deem
important at any given time.
