Though welcoming constructive dialogue and initiatives by Muslim scholars to bridge the Muslim-West divide, Danish Muslim leaders Wednesday, March 1, criticized the government for sidelining minority leaders in a Copenhagen conference next week called by Egyptian preacher Amr Khaled in the wake of the cartoons crisis.
"We all support dialogue, but when it is all-inclusive not selective," Ahmad Tanweer, the spokesman of the Islamic Network, an umbrella group of Muslim professors and students, told IslamOnline.net.
"I don't think such a conference will help defuse the current standoff because it excludes a community key for rendering the gathering a success," he said, referring to the Muslim minority in Denmark.
