UNDSKYLD MUHAMMED (SORRY MUHAMMED):
One does not need to denigrate that which is holy to others, in order to emphasise the sanctity of the freedom of speech.
“Sorry Muhammed” was founded as a reaction to several Danish newspapers’ decision to reprint pictures depicting the prophet Muhammed, which were first published in Jyllands Posten in September 2005.
”Sorry Muhammed” is an attempt to create a more nuanced debate about the freedom of speech.
“Sorry Muhammed” acknowledges and strongly supports the fundamental role played by the freedom of speech in a democratic society and the importance of citizens being able to freely express their differences of opinion without fear of reprisals. Consequently, “Sorry Muhammed” strongly condemns any attempt to harm or kill another person due to disagreement over a particular action or conviction.
At the same time, “Sorry Muhammed” critically questions the necessity of printing a picture of the prophet Muhammed, with a bomb in his turban. This picture has previously proved highly inflammatory in large parts of the Muslim world and can too easily be construed as denigrating and demeaning towards Muslims.
”Sorry Muhammed” asks, what was the purpose of choosing to print, once more, such a provocative picture of the prophet? This is an action that can have great ramifications for Denmark’s reputation, her trade interests as well as Danes living and working abroad.
Was it necessary to reprint these pictures? Do they not have a more divisive effect, rather than creating the conditions for dialogue and a sober discussion of the relationship between freedom of speech and its limits?
“Sorry Muhammed” believes that we should safeguard the freedom of speech and its application. It should not be used as a free-ticket or a poor excuse for actions that alienate, create hostility and removes the conditions required to engage in constructive debate.
“Sorry Muhammed” encourages Danish media and citizens to use their freedom of expression in a thoughtful and considerate manner. Freedom of speech is a special right, which should be exercised responsibly, in a sober and mature fashion; it should not be abused.
UNDSKYLD MUHAMMED CONDEMS
TERRORISTS AND THE USE OF VIOLENCE:
As there should be no doubt about ”Undskyld Muhammed” attitude towards a strong dissociation from radical religious groups, who misuse the religions of the world, it is hereby underlined that ”Undskyld Muhammed” is against any act of violence.
