Jordanian Muslims have demanded the expulsion of the Danish consulate from Amman unless they offer an official apology for the reprinting of a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammad in Danish newspapers.
Dozens of members of the Islamic Action Front (IAF) and the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood protested in the capital on Monday, the Jordan Times daily reported.
In a sit-in near Amman’s Danish consulate, the Islamists also urged Jordanians to boycott Danish products, saying reprinting the drawing was a deliberate insult and part of "the crusade by the West against Islam”. |
