Controversy

In December 2006 the group was associated with a very strict understanding of Islam. The occasion was a Christmas program on Danish television ( Store Juleshow ), in which the Norwegian singer Herborg Kråkevik wanted to appear in a strapless dress. Outlandish refused, according to media reports, to appear too close to Kråkevik. This was brought up by the tabloid BT in connection with the fact that two of the members are strictly religious. Louise Frevert from the right-wing conservative Dansk Folkeparti put a question to the Minister of Culture in the Danish parliament about this event, which went unanswered. Kråkevik spoke of a friendly solution on the show. Outlandish denied allegations that they had any influence at all.

Isam Bachiri is also said to have provided moral and gifts to a 19-year-old terror suspect who was acquitted in February 2007 while he was in prison. This was reported by the Danish magazine Se og hør in January 2008. The gift was sportswear. The package also included a letter from Bachiri in which he is said to have persuaded the detainee to "hold out". There was also talk of “typical Danish racism”. According to the Danish secret service Politiets Efterretningstjeneste , the prisoner, whose sister is married to Bachiri's brother, planned a terrorist attack with a bomb.
