For this purpose a 43-page dossier was created.[14]. It consists of several letters from Muslim organisations explaining their case, multiple clippings from Jylland Posten, multiple clippings from Weekend Avisen[2], and some additional images that, according to the dossier's authors, have been sent to Muslims in Denmark, and were indicative of the rejection of Muslims by the Danish[15]. Some claim that the group of clerics has misrepresented their origin[16] [17]. On February 1 BBC World incorrectly claimed that one of the additional images had been published in Jyllands-Posten. [18]
Among the leadership of the group were Imam Ahmad Abu Laban of the Islamisk Trossamfund and Akhmad Akkari, spokesman of the Danish-based European Committee for Prophet Honouring.[19] Danish Sheik Rais Huleyhel was named head of the delegation and signed the petition letters. Among the people the group claims to have met on their visit to Egypt were: The General Secretary of the Arab League Amr Moussa, the Egyptian Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa and the Sheik of Cairo's Al-Azhar university Mohammed Sayed Tantawi and the Egyptian foreign office.
