Egyptian preacher Amr Khaled announced on Friday, February17 , that a host of Muslim youths would visit Denmark soon to engage in a constructive dialogue with their Danish peers and intellectuals after relations between the Muslim world and the West badly soured over the Danish cartoons that lampooned Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).A later bit:
"They will explain four main things: Who our prophet is, what Islam is all about, freedom of expression in Muslim eyes and respect of the other's holy scriptures," Khaled told a press conference in Cairo's deluxe Intercontinental Citystars Hotel.
"They will finally launch practical projects entrenching mutual respect and co-existence," he added.
Khaled said that an apology is not enough when it comes to a great man like Prophet Muhammad.Dont' worry, Khaled Old Boy, people are getting a very thorough education concerning Islam just by reading the news.
"Protests will never stop unless the state of ignorance about Islam and its prophet in the West comes to an end," said the preacher, suggesting that Westerners should also take the initiative and tell their people about the Muslim faith.
Update: Elder of Ziyon is taking that education initiative here, here, and here.
