Denmark

On Tuesday Denmark held a contentious election. After a new party entered the political scene in the spring, the election was viewed as a chance to enable political change after six years under the Liberal-Conservative government.

However, after a heated election the Liberal-Conservatives, together with the support of the Danish Peoples Party (Dansk Folkeparti), won a narrow majority in parliament, with 90 of 179 seats.

The Danish prime minister, Anders Fogh, has promised to seek broader coalltions while in government.

Today's question raises a controversial topic that has a significant relevance for the current state global politics. The role of religion within politics has divided statesmen and citizens for centuries. Religion within state structures has varied across the world, leaving the debate on religion's applicability in ruling structures open-ended.

The recent use of religious extremism in the form of terrorism has contributed the mistrust between secularist governments and religious figures. The featured movie, Bloody Cartoons, explores this topic as well as the debate on the right to freedom of expression.
