Buddhism more popular than Islam
March 28, 2008
An increasing number of Danes choose other religions than Christianity. No official statistics exist, but Theology Professor Mogens S. Mogensen estimates, based on scientific research, that 4.000-5.000 Danes converted to Buddhism 1970-2005 while Islam got only 2.100-2.800 danish converts. According to Mogensen, Buddhism is seen as more congruent with western life-style and with Christianity.

Ehsan Jami anti-islam film to be released April 20th
March 28, 2008
NETHERLANDS. New dutch anti-Islam film to be released April 20th by Dutch-Iranian politician Ehsan Jami. The new movie is an animated story about Mohammad as a child, and the movie seems to have the potential for keeping a lot of protesters occupied with flag burning and embassy raids for a long time.
The anti-Islam film announced by Ehsan Jami last year is an animated film that will be released on 20 April, Jami said Wednesday evening on current affairs programme Netwerk.
Jami’s production is bound to come up against opposition. The Contact body for Muslims and the Government has already announced it will take legal steps against the film.
Netwerk showed a drawing from the film, which is entitled The Life of Mohammed. The drawing shows the prophet Mohammed in the company of his 9-year-old wife Aisa. The prophet is on his way to a mosque to deflower his bride.
Ehsan Jami was interviewed by Weekendavisen last year (in danish).
