The Case of Danish Cartoon Crisis
European Scientific Journal May 2014 edition vol.10, No.14 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 CONFLICT IN THE GLOBAL AGE: THE CASE OF DANISH CARTOON CRISIS Ayhan Akbulut, PhD Turkish National Police, Turkey Abstract This paper attempts to understand the new forms of international conflicts and the global forces having an impact on that in the last decade. For this sake it examines the global crisis known as Danish Cartoon Crisis, its background features, actors, the impacts of these actors and the effects of globalization trends on the process. Findings show that the background of the cartoon case is composed by the civilization identity. Whereas people from different cultures have become closer to each other with the accelerating pace of globalization, the differences come to the fore and put them further in mind in the new small world. Increasing communication availability also increased the tension between people from different civilizational identities and the result has been more systemic hatred among them as a negative side of globalization. Keywords: International conflict, globalization, cartoon crisis Introduction This paper tries to understand the changing nature of international conflicts in the last decade. For this purpose it examines the international crisis, known as Danish Cartoon Crisis, and lived between Islamic countries and Western Europe in late 2005 and 2006. The main global background features and the actors of the crisis, the influences of the actors and the global sources of those influences form the subject of the paper. Firstly, a brief overview is made about international conflicts and its changing patterns in the history. -

The Cartoon Riots: a New Cultural Diplomacy
The Cartoon Riots: A New Cultural Diplomacy by Binoy Kampmark In September 2005, riots erupted, diplomatic relations with much of the Muslim world were ruptured, two embassies were destroyed, and several lives were lost. In Syria, the Danish and Norwegian embassies were burned. In Gaza, Danish flags were set alight. In Yemen, 100,000 women marched in protest. This mayhem was the result of a Danish newspaper’s publication of caricatures (commissioned illustrations for a children’s book) depicting the Prophet Muhammad. The images were not flattering. One pictured Muhammad with a bomb-shaped turban. Another mocked Islam’s purported ambivalence towards women’s rights: heaven was apparently running short of virgins for suicide bombers. They were hardly humorous and the Danish Government, led by a stubborn Anders Fogh Rasmussen, defended the publication of the cartoons on the grounds of free speech.1 How should these reactions be interpreted? Was the Muslim world entitled to take such measures? The purpose of this article is to analyze the global reaction to the cartoons, within the broader context of diplomatic precedent, a task that has been neglected in favor of purely cultural critiques.2 The study seeks out comparisons with previous events in order to posit how Islam and the West come to grips with the role of religion in their diplomatic relations and how the mechanics of those relations have developed. The paper also suggests that religion has been an important part of diplomatic history. As such, this current secular-religious clash requires another mode of analysis. What is needed is the realization that a new diplomacy – one that acknowledges the resurgent role religion and cultural considerations play in state relations – has developed. -
At Mecca Meeting, Cartoon Outrage Crystallized - New York Times Página 1 De 4
At Mecca Meeting, Cartoon Outrage Crystallized - New York Times Página 1 de 4 February 9, 2006 The Protests At Mecca Meeting, Cartoon Outrage Crystallized By HASSAN M. FATTAH BEIRUT, Lebanon, Feb. 8 — As leaders of the world's 57 Muslim nations gathered for a summit meeting in Mecca in December, issues like religious extremism dominated the official agenda. But much of the talk in the hallways was of a wholly different issue: Danish cartoons satirizing the Prophet Muhammad. The closing communiqué took note of the issue when it expressed "concern at rising hatred against Islam and Muslims and condemned the recent incident of desecration of the image of the Holy Prophet Muhammad in the media of certain countries" as well as over "using the freedom of expression as a pretext to defame religions." The meeting in Mecca, a Saudi city from which non-Muslims are barred, drew minimal international press coverage even though such leaders as President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran were in attendance. But on the road from quiet outrage in a small Muslim community in northern Europe to a set of international brush fires, the summit meeting of the Organization of the Islamic Conference — and the role its member governments played in the outrage — was something of a turning point. After that meeting, anger at the Danish caricatures, especially at an official government level, became more public. In some countries, like Syria and Iran, that meant heavy press coverage in official news media and virtual government approval of demonstrations that ended with Danish embassies in flames. In recent days, some governments in Muslim countries have tried to calm the rage, worried by the increasing level of violence and deaths in some cases. -

Religion I Danmark 2017
RELIGION I DANMARK 2017 Danmarks nye muslimske intellektuelle – en ny islamisk autoritet? Af Malik Christian Reimer Larsen, cand.mag. i Religionsvidenskab [email protected] Intellektuelle har altid spillet en central rolle i den islamiske historie og også i dag finder man muslimske intellektuelle i forskellige sammenhænge. I en dansk kontekst har sådanne optrådt i den offentlige debat fra så forskellige udgangspunkter som for eksempel talsmanden for Hizb ut-Tahrir, Junes Kock, imamerne fra Dansk Islamisk Center, Waseem Hussain, Naveed Baig og Fatih Alev, eller samfundsdebattører med muslimsk baggrund som Tarek Ziad Hussein eller Ahmed Akkari1. I det speciale, som ligger til grund for denne artikel, undersøgte jeg en række danske muslimer, som jeg har valgt at kalde for de nye muslimske intellektuelle i Danmark. De udgør ikke en organiseret gruppe, men kender udmærket hinanden. Det, som gør dem interessante, er, at de som nogle af de første dansk opvoksede muslimer har erhvervet sig formelle islamiske uddannelser fra muslimske majoritetslande ved siden af deres uddannelser til ingeniører, læger og jurister. På baggrund af begge dele mener de, som muslimske autoriteter, at have et bedre udgangspunkt for at balancere et muslimsk liv i en dansk sammenhæng end for eksempel de traditionelle imamer. 1 I den brede offentlighed fremstilles Junes Kock og Hizb ut-Tahrir ofte som fundamentalistiske, Waseem Hussain, Naveed Baig og Fatih Alev kaldes moderate, mens den sene Ahmed Akkari beskrives som direkte islamkritisk (Kristeligt Dagblad 06.01.2012; Politiken 20.03.2016; Jyllands-Posten 11.03.2016). 52 E-årbog Religion i Danmark 2017 Center for Samtidsreligion Forældregenerationen og de unge muslimer Spørgsmålet om religiøs autoritet – altså hvem, der har ret til at udstikke retningslinjer om religiøse emner – er et klassisk tema indenfor religionsvidenskaben og har også spillet en helt central rolle i islamforskningens beskrivelser af muslimer i Vesten. -
Denmark Country Profile
Denmark Euro-Islam.info -- Country profiles -- Country profiles Denmark Christine Publié le Wednesday 3 January 2007 Modifié le Friday 11 July 2008 Fichier PDF créé le Saturday 12 July 2008 Euro-Islam.info Page 1/25 Denmark Demographics As of January 2006, the total population of Denmark is 5.4 million; of this population, 463,235 (or 8.4%) are immigrants. There are an estimated 175,000-200,000 Muslims in Denmark, making up 3.7% of the total Danish population (Ministry of Integration, 2006; OSI 9) [1]. Most are first- and second-generation immigrants. Over the past two decades, Muslim immigrants have come from Iran, Iraq, the Palestinian territories, and Somalia. In the 1970s, many Muslims immigrated from Turkey, Pakistan, Morocco or Yugoslavia (U.S. Dept. of State, 2006; quoted in European Parliament 99). Turks make up the largest group of Muslims in Denmark (IHF, 2005). Muslims constitute the second largest religious community in Denmark after the Lutheran Protestant Church [U.S. Dept. of State, 2006; qtd. in European Parliament 99]. [2] Labor Market Research by state employment agencies and Danish think tanks provides very little information about Muslims in the labor market, because ethnicity is often explicitly kept out of surveys conducted by the national bureau of statistics (Danmarks Statistik), state-subsidized insurance associations, and labor unions. When ethnicity is a criterion for research, questions regarding religious identity are still avoided (OSI 19). There are indications that Muslims do not excel to the same degree as native-Danish in the job market. According to the Open Society Insititute (OSI) Report, the majority of ethnic minorities possess less skills and qualifications that are valuable in the workplace (OSI 19). -

Während Hidalgo vom amtierenden Bürgermeister zu seiner Wunschnachfol - gerin gekürt wurde, inszeniert NKM sich als Unabhängige. Sie hat sich gegen die Rechte in ihrer Partei in einer Vorwahl durchgesetzt und sich anders als die Mehrheit ihrer Partei bei der Abstim - mung um die Homo-Ehe im Parlament enthalten. Außerdem hat sie fast schon vergessen gemacht, dass sie in einem In - terview einmal nicht wusste, was eine Metrofahrt kostet. Die Pariser sind berühmt dafür, immer unzufrieden zu sein – und Kritik gibt es nach mehr als zwölf Jahren Delanoë ge - nügend. Viele Pariser befürchten, dass ihre Stadt eine Art Freilichtmuseum wer - den könnte, das sich bald nur noch Alte, Reiche und Touristen leisten können. „Ein schwerwiegendes Problem“, sagt Ex-Prediger Akkari bei Århus, Anti-Dänemark-Protest in Islamabad 2006: „Ich war blind dafür, Kosciusko-Morizet, „wir wollen nicht die schönste aller Provinzstädte werden.“ Sie will mehr Unternehmen nach Paris holen.
