Fjordman: Film about Muhammed Welcome in Denmark
...The Director of The Danish Film Institute, Henning Camre, does not anticipate any problems allocating public money for a film with this content.
"I have only read about it in Jyllands-Posten, but if she writes a manuscript and finds a Danish producer, we will treat her application just like any other. We have no limitations on freedom of speech in Denmark. ... So far, however, it appears to be rather offhand and unspecified. For example, what language would be used? And would it be interesting from a Danish perspective if it was not made in Danish? This raises some questions, but as a starting point we would have no problems investing money in it from a free speech point of view," says Henning Camre...

"Yes, if we could find a willing director. ..."
