N2 - A closer look at the Muhammad cartoon crisis illuminates some of the key issues thatwere, and continue to be, at stake for the various actors in the public contestations over thelegitimate place of Muslims (and the Islamic tradition) in Danish society. Using a conceptualframework developed by Axel Honneth, I suggest in this article that the cartoon crisis is part ofan ongoing struggle for recognition in Denmark, through which the terms by which Muslimsresiding in Denmark are recognized as legitimate citizens/residents of Danish society arenegotiated—and on which Muslims may recognize the demands of Danish majority society aslegitimate. As much as the cartoon affair was an event that, as Palle Weis (2006) writes,“suddenly” ruptured Danish society in 2005, it was therefore also part of a process that continuesto shape social actors and their relationships.
