"Down with Denmark, Germany” … Indian Muslims hold silent protest

By: Nizam Hussain

BHOPAL, India: To condemn the derogatory depiction of Holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in a Danish paper, and a German film showing Islam in bad light, Muslims took out a silent procession in Bhopal, capital of Madhya Pradesh, Friday evening.

Zeenews portal reported that while carrying banners and placards reading "Down with Denmark, Germany and Israel", the protesters marched down the street demanding that the government convey their sentiments to the three countries through diplomatic channels.

"There have conspiracies to disgrace Islam. First the film titled 'Fitna' that depicts Holy Quran in bad light and secondly the republication of derogatory cartoons of Holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).

The Muslim community is extremely hurt by these actions. So, we have taken out a silent procession to voice our concerns. We hope the authorities would carry the message to those who are carrying out such actions," said Abdul Latif Khan, a cleric.

Demonstrations have sprung up in recent weeks in the country against the cartoons with protesters demanding government to end diplomatic ties with Denmark and appealing Muslims to boycott Danish goods.
