Denmark: Ten Muslim leaders refuse to attend Minister-called meeting on antisemitism in Muslim community

“By avoiding the meeting, they were ‘showing [the ministers] who’s boss.'”

Oh yes. They were also deflecting attention away from Islam’s deeply rooted antisemitism. A meeting discussing antisemitism in the Muslim community might lead some uppity kaffirs to notice this: the Jews in the Qur’an are called the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).

“Ten Danish Muslim leaders refuse to attend Minister-called meeting on antisemitism,” by Mathilda Heller, Jerusalem Post, October 29, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Representatives of 10 Muslim groups in Denmark canceled a meeting with the integration minister and the church minister in which they were set to discuss antisemitism in the Muslim community.

The 10 imams canceled last Thursday’s session at the last minute, saying it “creates more division than dialogue.”

A spokesperson for the Danish Muslim Union, Urfan Ahmed, told P1 Morgen Radio that, while the invitation appeared to be for a “dialogue meeting,” the Imams decided it was actually about “a violent one-sided monologue,” and so they chose not to attend.

“On behalf of the invited Danish Muslim groups, I would like to announce that we will not come to a meeting which is about shaming one population group at the expense of another. It creates more division than dialogue,” Ahmed said on Radio P1 Morgen.

Instead of holding the meeting, the Muslim organizations suggested that the two ministers visit the Danish Muslim Union in Hvidovre to discuss both antisemitism and Islamophobia, rather than solely focusing on the former, according to DR….

A source told The Jerusalem Post that “they feel if they show up they are giving legitimacy to the issue,” and so by avoiding the meeting, they were “showing [the ministers] who’s boss.”

Dahlin told Jyllands-Posten that the Imams had been summoned for the meeting because he and Dybvad recognized that “there are Islamic religious leaders in Denmark who do not use their influence for anything good.”

Dahlin added that some religious leaders – referring to the Imams – “contribute to or turn a blind eye while antisemitism and terrorist sympathies are given free rein in certain Muslim circles.”

The meeting was intended to make it “unequivocally clear that [antisemitism] is not something we will accept in Denmark,” Dahlin added.

However, on P1 Morgen, Urfan Ahmed denied that antisemitism was prevalent in Denmark’s Muslim communities.The interviewers asked, “Do you reject the diagnoses that are being made here by the ministers, i.e., that there is widespread antisemitism in certain Muslim environments?”

Ahmed replied that he felt antisemitism was ubiquitous in “civil society” and not an issue specific to Muslims or Islam in particular….
