Talking to an English news channel, he said, “It is the legislative right of Denmark to ban or allow the cartoon competition on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH),” adding that “no Muslim has the right to claim Islamisation of Denmark and Sharia is not to be implemented in the country”.
Qadri further said that Islamic laws and penal system are not to be enforced in Denmark, hence, Blasphemy laws cannot be applied here. “It is the choice of any democratic Islamic country either to make these laws or not and decide the punishment accordingly,” he said.
