It sounds like the delegation of Danish Muslims also has some explaining to do. <\/p>\n

Not all the pictures that it distributed in the Middle East in order to drum up support for the boycott were actually from Jyllands-Posten.\u00a0 One bogus picture was particularly inflammatory, as it portrayed a pig-like man. (I\u2019ve seen it\u2013it\u2019s hideous.)<\/p>\n

The visit was organised by Abu Laban, a leading Muslim figure in Denmark.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
