Islam-Critical Network

The Islam-Critical Network (Danish: Islamkritisk Netværk) was a network of priests and theologians in the Church of Denmark[1] which stated that Muslims and Christians do not believe in the same God, and rejected interfaith collaboration with imams and mosques.[2] The network consisted of around 120 priests and theologians,[3][4] including Niels Højlund [da], Sørine Gotfredsen [da], Edith Thingstrup [da] and Morten Kvist [da],[2] as well as the two former bishops Herluf Eriksen [da] and Johannes Johansen [da].[5] It was founded amid the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy in May 2006,[6] and was initiated by Katrine Winkel Holm and Thomas Reinholdt Rasmussen, who presented the network in an article in Kristeligt Dagblad.[3] At its first public meeting in September 2006, the network agreed to be structured as loosely as possible.[3] The network hosted a website collecting articles published by its members,[7] which was last posted to in 2012.[8]
