    Classified By: Consul General Tatiana C. Gfoeller for Reasons 1.4(b) an
    d (d)
    ¶1. (C) BEGIN SUMMARY AND COMMENT: Since the OIC's 2004
    election of Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu as Secretary General, one of
    his top priorities has been to combat misperceptions of
    Islam. Unsurprisingly, he issued a strong statement
    condemning the February 13 re-publishing of caricatures from
    the 2006 Mohammad cartoon crisis (Reftels A and C).
    Ihsanoglu deemed the Danish media decision to publish the
    cartoons ""irresponsible"" and ""insensible,"" arguing that the
    cartoons ""constituted an advocacy of hatred."" He further
    warned of ""bigger conflict"" over the cartoons and called on
    Muslims to protest peacefully. Of comparable offense, OIC
    officials argued recently to Pol Chief, is the upcoming
    release of a Dutch MP's film on Islam (Reftel B). Given the
    OIC's focus on ""Islamophobia"" and recent protest of the
    caricatures, the film will undoubtedly roil the OIC,
    prompting Ihsanoglu to issue equally strong remarks.
    Conversations with Post contacts and letters to Saudi
    English-language dailies have presented a myriad of Saudi
    opinions, from defense of Freedom of Speech to outright anger
    toward the Danish media. END SUMMARY AND COMMENT.
    OIC CAMPAIGNS AGAINST ""ISLAMOPHOBIA""
    ¶2. (U) In speeches around the World, Organization of the
    Islamic Conference Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu and
    other OIC officials have been campaigning against
    ""Islamophobia;"" a term Ihsanoglu has described as
    ""intolerance of and discrimination against Muslims.""
    Ihsanoglu believes that post-9/11 the Western media has
    contributed to a rise in ""misrepresentations and stereotyping
    of Islam."" He argues that actions such as the publishing of
    the 2006 Mohammad cartoons are ""islamophobic"" and do nothing
    more than foster hostility toward Muslims.
    OIC SYG WARNS OF BIGGER CONFLICT; CALLS FOR PEACEFUL PROTEST
    ¶3. (U) Ihsanoglu stated on February 16 that the Danish media
    decision to re-publish the caricatures was ""irresponsible""
    and ""insensible,"" and ""constituted an advocacy of hatred.""
    He warned that by reprinting the cartoons, ""we are headed
    toward a bigger conflict and that shows that both sides will
    be hostages of their radicals."" Condemning the use of
    violence, he called on Muslims in Denmark to protest
    ""peacefully and democratically."" He added that the ""Muslim
    world was waiting for an unequivocal stand"" from the Danish
    government under the 1996 United Nations International
    Covenant of Civil and Political Rights.
    OIC CONCERNED ABOUT DUTCH FILM ON ISLAM
    ¶4. (C) Citing the epidemic nature of ""Islamophobia,"" OIC
    officials raised with Pol Chief their concern over Dutch MP
    Geert Wilder's soon-to-be released, 15-minute film on Islam
    (Reftel B). (NOTE: In a February 10 interview, Wilders said
    the film would be released in March. END NOTE.) They
    compared it to the 2006 Danish cartoons scandal and stated
    that such actions did nothing but slander Islam and Muslims.
    (COMMENT: In previous meetings, Post has asked OIC officials
    how such a claim does not infringe Freedom of Speech. Their
    response is typically ambiguous, stating that they support
    Freedom of Speech provided that people exercise that right
    with respect for other cultures. END COMMENT). They also
    expressed concern over a perceived increase in the negative
    perception of Islam in the West. They added that they
    believed the solution was for dialogue across civilizations.
    SAUDI OPINION RUNS THE GAMUT
    ¶5. (C) Conversations with Post contacts and letters published
    in Saudi English-language dailies over the past few days have
    presented an array of Saudi opinions regarding the
    re-publishing of the cartoons. A few liberal, U.S.-educated
    Jeddawis believe that creating such caricatures is within the
    purview of Freedom of Speech. More moderate individuals,
    such as some of Post's OIC contacts, argue that Freedom of
    Speech should not include the right to propagate negative
    opinions about other cultures. Others have deemed such
    JEDDAH 00000084 002.2 OF 002
    cartoons ""an insult to Islam,"" and consider their
    re-publishing a blatant attack on Muslims worldwide.
