RIYADH (Reuters) - The 57-nation Organization of the Islamic Conference
(OIC) on Monday condemned a new round of Danish cartoons ridiculing the
Prophet Mohammad, saying the values of tolerance were shrinking in
Europe.
Danish state TV on Friday broadcast amateur video footage showing
members of the anti-immigrant Danish Peoples' Party (DPP) at a summer
camp in August, drinking, singing and taking part in a competition to
draw images mocking the Prophet.
"Muslims have noted with concern that the values of tolerance are
eroding and there is now shrinking space for others' religious, social
and cultural values in the West," said a statement sent to Reuters by
the Jeddah-based OIC, the world's largest Islamic grouping.
"The OIC spokesman deplores the act of caricaturing of Prophet Mohammad
by the youth members of the Danish Peoples Party and this being shown,
regrettably, on state television," the statement said.
"The running of the footage affected the sensibilities of civilized
people and religious beliefs of one fifth of humanity," it said, adding
that Muslims around the world had so far shown restraint.
Just over a year ago violence ensued after the Danish daily Jyllands-
Posten published cartoons of the Prophet, including one showing him with
a bomb in his turban. Protests led to the deaths of over 50 people in
Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen has denounced the DPP
members for drawing the humiliating cartoons. Senior DPP members refused
to apologize and party leader Pia Kjaersgaard criticized media for
airing the footage of what she called a private party.
