Danes publish cartoons of Mohammed

From harrys place :-

"Denmark Warned by Islamists

Images of the Prophet Mohammed printed recently in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten continue to inflame the Muslim world:

Some Muslims, who deem images of prophets disrespectful and caricatures blasphemous, have reacted angrily, threatening Danes, calling for goods boycotts and demanding an apology.

Saudi Arabia has recalled its envoy from Denmark, Libya has closed its embassy, and thousands of Palestinians marched in protest on Monday.

Militant groups linked to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah faction issued a statement saying, “We call upon all Danish citizens in (Palestine) to leave immediately.”

Hamas, the militant Islamic group which won Palestinian elections last week, urged Islamic countries to take “deterrent steps against idiotic Danish behavior”.

You can view the cartoons here."

Food for thought, eh?
