Islamisk Trossamfund

The Islamic Society in Denmark ( _da. Islamisk Trossamfund) is a Muslim religious organisation in Denmark led by Ahmad Abu Laban, which has played a significant role in bringing international Muslim attention to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, distributing a 43-page dossier, in order to raise inform the Middle-East about the cartoons.

The organization claims that all Muslims in Denmark are members, regardless of whether or not they have declared themselves as members.

The organisation arranges weekly prayers on Fridays, which are regularly attended by over 500 people.

Ahmad Abu Laban was a persona non grata in the United Arab Emirates and Egypt [da iconcite news|date=2006-02-01|title=Abu Laban taler med to tunger|url=http://www.dr.dk/Nyheder/Politik/2006/02/01/115700.htm|publisher=Danmarks Radio] because of his Islamist views. Abu Laban died on February 1, 2007, aged 60. [da iconcite news|date=2007-02-01|title=Abu Laban has died|url=http://www.dr.dk/Nyheder/Indland/2007/02/01/215852.htm]

Laban's likely successor, Mostafa Chendid, has raised considerable public controversy in Denmark due to his belief that Muslim and non-Muslim women alike should wear a veil, also claiming about five to ten percent of all men cannot control themselves when faced with unveiled women. He also stresses that the veil serves as a signal that women are "not for sale", and that it protects them against rape.http://www.weekendavisen.dk/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070323/SAMFUND/103230136 Den nye sheikh på Dortheavej] , Interview with Mostafa Chendid, Weekendavisen, April 16, 2007 (Danish)]
