Danish MP and moderate muslim: There is nothing to excuse
The wellknown Danish MP Naser Khader who is himself a moderate muslim is now speaking out against the strong rhetorik from the organisation Islamisk Trossamfund who are behind the current anti-Danish campaign and asks them to moderate themselves.
»There should be encouragement to take it easy and dont make a international afair out of a Danish conflict, which can be solved in Denmark. It is also good to activate diplomacy and dialog, so that the foreign minister can take a roundtrip to stop the myths about Denmark. Yes to dialog, no til excuses. There is nothing to excuse. That would be a surrender to fundamentalism", says Khader.
Naser Khaders comments are translated from Politiken.
I appreciate that what I hope to be a silent majority of moderate muslims is slowly making their voices heard and saying no to the anti-Danish campaign of Abu Laban and the arab regimes (other than in Denmark the newspapers in many arab countries ARE controlled by the government)
