Danish creator of Muhammad cartoon to sue Dutch filmmaker
The Associated Press , Copenhagen | Fri, 03/28/2008 4:37 PM
The Danish Union of Journalists says it will sue Dutch filmmaker Geert Wilders for copyright infringement for using a Danish cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad in his anti-Quran film.
The union says it will file a lawsuit on behalf of Kurt Westergaard, the cartoonist who made the controversial drawing depicting Islam’s prophet wearing a turban shaped like a bomb.
The union said Friday that Westergaard did not give Wilders permission to use the cartoon in his film, which it called “political propaganda.”
Wilders’ film sets verses of the Quran against a background of images from terrorist attacks.
It was not immediately clear whether the lawsuit would be filed in the Netherlands or Denmark.
