COPENHAGEN, Denmark: The Danish Union of Journalists said Friday it will sue Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders for copyright infringement for using a Danish cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad in his anti-Quran film.

The union said it will file a lawsuit on behalf of Kurt Westergaard, the cartoonist who made a controversial drawing in 2005 depicting Islam's prophet wearing a turban shaped like a bomb.

"Wilders has the right to make his movie but he has no permission to use my drawing," Westergaard said in a phone interview with Denmark's TV2. Westergaard has been living under police protection since an alleged plot to murder him was uncovered last month.

"This has nothing to do with freedom of speech. It is all about copyright," Westergaard said. "I won't accept my cartoon being taken out of its original context and used in a completely different one."

His cartoon appears twice in Wilders' 15-minute movie, which was posted on a Web site Thursday. The film sets verses of the Quran against a background of images from terrorist attacks.

The Danish union said it had not decided in which court to file the lawsuit, but that it would probably be in the Netherlands.

"The use of the drawing in Wilders' film is a serious violation of copyright," union leader Mogens Blicher Bjerregaard told The Associated Press. "We strongly deplore that the drawing is being used for political propaganda."
