Danish police to probe imam's bomb threats

The imam Ahmed Akkari, not content with stirring up international cartoon rage, has now issued death threats against a Muslim politician in Denmark whom he does not deem sufficiently Islamic. From [1] Reuters, with thanks to all who sent this in:

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Danish police will launch an investigation into allegations that an imam at the centre of the Prophet Mohammad cartoon row issued death threats against a moderate Muslim politician, a spokesman said on Thursday.

At least 50 people have been killed in protests in Asia, Africa and the Middle East after Danish paper Jyllands-Posten published 12 cartoons about the Prophet last year.

A French TV documentary crew secretly filmed Imam Ahmed Akkari threatening to have Naser Khader -- a founder of Denmark's Democratic Muslims network, which opposes violent protests over cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad -- bombed.

No doubt they filmed him out of context.
