The reasonable among us must be heard and our voices must come out clearer than the voices of the extremists.

I was greatly encouraged to launch this initiative after 93 per cent of some 80,000 Muslim youths polled opted for a dialogue with the Danish people.

They will explain four main things: who our Prophet is, what Islam is all about, freedom of expression in Muslim eyes and respect of the other's holy scriptures. They [young Muslims] will launch practical projects entrenching mutual respect and co-existence.

The Danish government should do a lot of things. The government should apologize.

Dialogue and many practical common projects are more important. We came here to build bridges but it must be two-way bridges.

We feel there are forces of extremism which are aiming to light fires and transform Denmark from a peaceful country to a country which will suffer from conflicts.
