Turks.US - Danish Muslims Warn of Burning Quran in Planned Rally
InternationalDanish Muslim leaders warned on Saturday, February 4, of grave consequences if copies of the Noble Qur%u2019an were burnt in a rally planned by Danish extremists to protest Muslim anger over cartoons mocking Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
"All hell will break loose, if those extremists burn the Qur%u2019an," Raed Halil, the head of the European Committee for Defending Prophet Muhammad, told IslamOnline.net over the phone from the Danish capital Copenhagen.
"A female member of a racist party circulated a message calling for burning copies of the Noble Qur%u2019an in Saturday%u2019s march," he said.
Halil said the message incited young Danes to burn the Muslim holy book in retaliation for the burning of Danish flags by angry Muslims across the world and the boycotting of Danish products.
The extreme-right grouping Danish Front was to start its own march at 2:00 pm (1300 GMT) in Hilleroed, northeast of Copenhagen.
The 12 cartoons, first published last September by the mass-circulation Jyllands-Posten and then reprinted by several European dailies, have caused an uproar in the Muslim world and drawn a new cultural battle over freedom of speech and respect of religions.
Incensed Muslims have demonstrated against Denmark, burnt its flags and boycotted its products, while several Muslim ambassadors have been recalled in protest.
Criminal Offense
The cartoons have offended up to one billion Muslims worldwide.
Danish authorities have tried to reassure Muslims that they would not allow extremist protesters to burn copies of the Noble Qur%u2019an.
"Danish authorities have made clear that burning the Qur%u2019an is a criminal offence whose perpetrator could face four months in prison," prominent Muslim leader Abdel Rahman Abu Laban told IOL, adding that Muslim youths were heading in droves to the rally site to prevent extremists from burning their holy book.
The two Muslim leaders believe the rally is specially untimely.
"It is not the right time to hold such a rally given the current anti-Islam campaigns launched by racists and misleading media," said Halil.
He noted that many Danes still "could not grasp the reasons behind the Muslim uproar," arguing that police should not have given the march the go-ahead.
Abu Laban agreed.
"With soaring tensions no one can predict how the day would end."
A bunch of racists have already smashed the front window of a restaurant owned by a Muslim, splashed anti-Prophet slurs and incited violence against Muslims.
Police spokesman Flemming Steen Munch expected that the demonstration could well include " anarchists" and "troublemakers."
Government Blamed
A demonstration of leftist activists began at 1:00 pm (1200), when around 100 people gathered near the railway station of Hilleroed.
The marchers, many of them clad in black and bearing banners urging people to "Crush the Nazis", turned out to protest the planned anti-Muslim march.
"This affair has gone much too far and it's clearly the fault of the Danish government," said Helle Mortensen, a 17-year-old redhead dressed in black.
"Freedom of expression does not mean to hurt others," she told Agence France-Presse (AFP).
"We say no to the racist and ignorant Danish Front demonstration against Muslims in Denmark and in the world," said Daniel Savi, a local secretary of march organizers SFU, the youth wing of the Socialist People's party.
Another demonstration also planned for Saturday is expected to bring together 2,000 people in Frederiksberg, near Copenhagen, to call for mutual respect and dialogue.
Imams will also organize later in the day a peaceful march in a bid to bridge the gap between the Muslim minority and Danish society.
Muslims in Denmark are estimated at more than 180,000 or around 3 per cent of population, mostly with a Turkish background.
There are three Muslim members of the Danish parliament; Naser Khader, who hails from Syrian roots, Husain Arac, who has a Turkish background, and Pakistan-born Kamal Qurashi.
Islam is Denmark's second largest religion after the Lutheran Protestant Church, which is actively followed by four-fifths of the country's population of 5.3 million.

The racist action that some extremists are planning to do in Denmark has to be refused by all honorable people in the world simply because their action will make the gap bigger between the muslims and the christians in the world. I do firmly ask the Danish government to save no effort to prevent those extremists from burning the holy Quraan on February 4.

Islam is strong, what ever they do. however,
120] Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) till you follow their religion. Say: "Verily, the Guidance of Allâh (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism) that is the (only) Guidance. And if you (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) were to follow their (Jews and Christians) desires after what you have received of Knowledge (i.e. the Qur'ân), then you would have against Allâh neither any Walî (protector or guardian) nor any helper.
and
[52] Likewise, no Messenger came to those before them but they said: "A sorcerer or a madman!"

I dont know, what they will get after doing such an idiotic thing. Danish country : its an example like kill someone than ask them to request for the forgiveness. If they will do like this than they are no more humans. Through the coin and take the both sides to win. Its not equal.

Kufr want to put out the lamp of Islam. But They will never be able to do it. ALLAH HIMSELF will save the Holy Quran. If danish people will do that, they should know that a big punishment will wait for them. May ALLAH save us all and give those mockers hedayat. ameen

i dare them to do it and inshaAllah all hell will break loose on them.they really think this is a joke?! they will regret it.Even though Allah promised to protect his deen and prefect his light(al islaam) and that the kuffar will never extinguish it, this is our deen and kitaab.In Islam it is not allowed to sit back and let someone mock the deen or play with the book of Allah even if that person claims to be a muslim.that action of istihzaa gets him out of the pale of Islam!!

assalamu'alaikum
who ever started this email round robin is trying to create a bigger rift between muslims and non-muslims. as if what's is happening now is not enough! children are already dropping like flies...
three years old story is nothing new! i am now receiving chain emails that used to make the rounds through the snail mail 20 - 30 years ago! using religion! they used Prophet Mohamed SAW to the muslims and Jesus for the Christians.
careful my friends, there are many sinister people out there who are not actually fighting for or against the muslims, christians or jews or others! they are just trying to create troubles by using religion.
May Allah protects us ....

yes & as this news reports May Allah forbid, they will attepmt to do it in March, if u look carefully.

I think this is terrible but at the same time we should not draw conclusions that ALL Danish people are like this. I'm a Muslim and feel terribly hurt to hear of these extremist activities that incite hatred. We can already see that this isn't really just about the cartoons, or boycotting. It's about people wanting their own way, what ever their religion or way of life maybe.
People should be free to choose their own lifestyles just we should be free to choose Islam as our way of life. I do fear though, that this will ultimately result in bloodshed. All faiths and religions, cultures should stop this from happening. the same should be said if people were to do this to the Bible, Torah or anyones holy book. All religions, practiced sincerely will condemn these evil extremist activities.

i dnt understand wat dd the quarn do to these little munafiq and ansars the quran is inocent so is the muslims you need to put a stop to this or all the jihads will be on your back\

It is unfortunate the way this unbelievers behave, but it is not surprising because Allah said about them much in the holy quran that the said they want to burn.Allah said: ( The unbelievers are the worst of all creatures) and what the've said is a worst act. If this is to be done by a muslim, they will us terrorist, fundamentalist, extremist and so on and so forth. You unbelievers are all hypocrites.
