Former Mohammed cartoon protester apologises

One of the one of the most vocal and strident voices during the Mohammed cartoon crisis in 2006 said that he now regrets his role in the controversy. Ahmed Akkari, the former spokesperson for the Muslim faith group Det Islamiske Trossamfund, now says that he regrets his trip to the Middle East in which he encouraged violence in response to the cartoons. Akkari, who now works as a private consultant, distanced himself from what he said was Islam’s negative view of women and its approach to grabbing power in the Middle East. – TV2 News
