In 2005, Federspiel was replaced as ambassador by Friis Arne Petersen returning to the Foreign Ministry. Federspiel was director for four years after returning to Denmark, and had to deal with the crisis around the "The Muhammad cartoons", a number of protests against Denmark, including violence and riots in some Muslim countries, after the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published twelve editorial cartoons in 2005 depicting Muhammad, the prophet of Islam.[2]
