Rabih Azad-Ahmad, chair of the Multicultural Association, said the row had become too confrontational. “Now, we have to demonstrate that we are proud of being Danish and that we are supporting Danish values,” he said. In an unexpected turn, the reaction to the attacks on Danish embassies could help promote integration in Denmark…
“We want the newspaper to promise that this will never happen again, or this will never stop,” said imam Ahmad Akkari of the Islamic Faith Society. For the Danish integration minister, Rikke Hvilshoj, that stance is a wake-up call. “It is very clear that we cannot trust the imams any longer if we want integration to succeed in Denmark,” Mrs Hvilshoj says.
