Muslims were insulted and hurt by such atrocious attacks which targeted their sacred values. The movie, Innocence of Muslims, which was recently released, has been the latest in this chain of systemic attacks.

The assaults against Islam and Prophet Muhammad in the media were probably not a new phenomenon, but the twelve cartoons depicting and denigrating Prophet Muhammad can be accepted as the turning point in the confrontation between the Muslims and the advocates of Islamophobia, between an unlimited freedom of expression and a responsible freedom of expression.

We interviewed Gonca Şenler, an active member of the Islamic community in Denmark, about the repercussions of the cartoon crisis, as well as what the rates of conversion to Islam in Denmark were and the reasons for such conversions.
