The city museum of The Hague has decided not to include in an exhibition a work of art that may offend Muslims, it was reported on Monday.

The picture, made by Iranian artist Sooreh Hera, is entitled Adam and Ewald and shows two gay men wearing masks of the Muslim prophet Mohammed and his son-in-law Ali.

Liberal-rightist Freedom Party (PVV) leader Geert Wilders, condemned the museum's decision, adding it was "based on fear".

Wilders has requested a reaction on the matter from Education and Culture minister Ronald Plasterk.

Meanwhile Siebe Weide, director of the Museum Association, told reporters "all Dutch museums are free to choose what they exhibit and what not".

Denmark's National Library plans to archive the original Prophet Mohammed caricatures that sparked violent protests across the Islamic world two years ago, a spokeswoman said on Wednesday.

Despite objections from some Muslim leaders, the library in the Danish capital will preserve the 12 cartoons for research purposes but will not make them available to the public for at least 10 years, spokeswoman Jytte Pedersen said.

"It is not our intention to provoke or anything like that," Pedersen said. "We are preserving them for future generations."

Danish police arrested Tuesday three people suspected of plotting to kill one of the cartoonists who sparked angry protests from Muslims worldwide in 2006 by drawing caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed.

Operatives "conducted a police operation at 4:30 am (0330 GMT) in the Aarhus region, in cooperation with local police, to prevent a murder linked to terrorism," said Jakob Scharf, head of Denmark's intelligence agency PET.

The raid was carried out "after lengthy surveillance," he said in a statement.

Islamophobia 'on the rise in Holland'

http://news.smh.com.au/islamophobia-on-the-rise-in-holland/20080213-1ruw.html

Islamophobia has increased dramatically in the Netherlands following recent terrorist attacks in Europe, a human rights watchdog warned, with Muslims the subject of stereotyping, stigmatisation and frequent racist violence.

In a harshly worded report, the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance said even Dutch politicians have resorted to derogatory remarks about Muslims in recent years, and that racist discourse has remained "as a rule" unchallenged by mainstream political parties.

Denmark's leading newspaper has reprinted a cartoon depicting the Prophet Mohammed wearing a bomb as a turban.

It came a day after Danish police said they'd averted an alleged plot to kill one of the Mohammed cartoonists who sparked violent protests in 2006.

The Archbishop of Canterbury says the adoption of certain aspects of Sharia law in the UK "seems unavoidable".

This must be the most unbritish man in England.
He sure does look like the Devil. His eyebrows give him away.

freediver - as with most cults, the leader is NOT to be questioned.
let alone cartooned.
there is no freedom of speech under islam.
Thanks to the brave danes, the free world is realising that now

recently in the US a muslim cabbie refused entrance to a seeing eyedog.
Cause dogs are unclean to him.  Tough for the blind owner.
The muslim took it right to the high court  (legal fees paid by ???) where he lost.

Had the US caved in, ALL the blind people in US would have to request a nonmuslim driver.
So arrogant, so intolerant.

They seem to be a strange lot in Pakistan (warning - dangerous generalisation). I was talking to a friend who is Indian, and he told me that even at cricket, they are way over the top. For them it's Muslims versus Hindus. He explained that India is a totally secular society, and people have an equal standing whether they are Christian, Hindu, Atheist or whatever, and that they have more muslims in India than in Pakistan itself.
