.... The 9th Session of the COMIAC in particular, condemned and deplored the recent publication of the book entitled “Tyranny of Silence” by the cultural editor of the Danish Jyllands-Posten newspaper that included a compilation of denigrating caricatures and cartoons of Prophet Muhammad which were published by the same newspaper in 2005, arousing worldwide condemnation and denunciation, and causing hurt and insult to the sentiments of Muslims around the world.
The meeting emphasized that the publication of the book constituted a flagrant violation of the stipulation of Article 20 of the 1966 International Convention on Civil and Political Rights, as well as the Danish Criminal Code, Section 140, stipulating the protection of religious feelings against mockery and scorn, and Section 266b, stipulating the protection of groups of persons against scorn and degradation on account of their religion.
