The Islamic Society in Denmark (Danish: Islamisk Trossamfund) is a Muslim religious organisation in Denmark led by Ahmad Abu Laban, which has played a significant role in bringing international Muslim attention to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, bringing a 43 page dossier, in order to ferment controversy in the Middle East.
The organization claims that all Muslims in Denmark are members, regardless of whether or not they have declared themselves as members. [1] (as of 2005, there are about 180,000 Muslims in Denmark). The organisation arranges weekly prayers on Fridays, which are attended by between 500 to 1,000 people.
Ahmad Abu Laban is persona non grata in the United Arab Emirates and Egypt [2] because of his Islamist views.
