DOC-DEBUT: Two Men Twelve Drawings

Category: Documentaries

Regions: Europe, Middle East

audio: dansk

sub: english



In September 2005, the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten printed 12 satirical cartoons



of the prophet Mohammed, and soon after Denmark faced its worst international crisis



since World War II. While the Middle East was on fire in reaction to the Mohammed



drawings published in Jyllands-Posten, two prominent Danish Muslims became the center



of the whole world’s attention. One was Imam Ahmed Akkari, spokesman for the Danish-



based European Committee for Prophet Honouring, the umbrella group that represented



the 27 Muslim organisations campaigning for a full apology from the newspaper. And the



other was MP Naser Khader, founder of the Muslim Democratic Group.



The world witnessed the personal and ideological clashes between the two men as they



came to represent opposite sides of the conflict. Through their personal stories, the



film depicts the dramatic and hectic period when the Mohammed drawings put Denmark at



the forefront of an incendiary, global debate on faith and democracy.
