Ahmed Akkari (born 1978 in Lebanon) (Arabic: أحمد عكاري‎) is a Danish political activist who became known for his involvement [1] in the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy. Widely called an "Imam" in the media,[2] he himself denied being one.[3] He was a co-author of the Akkari-Laban dossier, which played a major role in the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy by bringing the issue to the attention of influential decision-makers in the Middle East. In 2013 he distanced himself from his former position.
