The European Evangelical Alliance (EEA), representing 10 million European evangelicals from 33 countries, has spoken out as protests continue across the world by angry Muslims, upset by cartoons of their Prophet Muhammad released by a Danish newspaper last week.
The EEA spoke out firmly and condemned all violence that has been associated with the controversy and all incitement to violence.
The group stated that it understood the deep upset among its “Muslim friends” and co-citizens about “something that they perceive to be deeply insulting to their faith.”
