A quote from AFP, 15 February 2008
Six youths were arrested in Copenhagen for setting cars and dumpsters ablaze and throwing stones at police in a fifth night of riots in a predominantly immigrant area of the Danish capital, police said Friday. […] "We don't know why they're rioting. I think it's because they're bored. Some people say it's because of the cartoons but that's not my opinion," [Chief Inspector Henrik Olesen of the Copenhagen police told AFP]. He was referring to the reprinting of a controversial cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed in 17 Danish newspapers on Wednesday. […]
Protests have flared up again in several Muslim countries including Kuwait and Pakistan following the reprinting. The Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas also condemned the publication.
The caricature was reprinted this week after Danish police uncovered a plot to kill the cartoonist. Three people were arrested for planning the murder, including two Tunisians who have lived in Denmark for more than seven years and whom Denmark has decided to expel without a trial. That decision has been heavily criticised by human rights associations and some politicians and legal experts in Denmark.
A quote from Press TV Iran, 15 February 2008
Kuwaiti MPs have called for a total boycott of Denmark where newspapers have reprinted an offensive cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad. “We must impose a total political and economic boycott of Denmark,” said MP Waleed al-Tabatabai, who branded the Danish government as “sons of a dog” during a parliamentary session. The government protested and demanded the remark be deleted from the parliamentary minutes. […]
Other members of the parliament called on the government to implement a recommendation made by MPs over a year ago to set up a USD 36.5-million fund to defend the Prophet and Islam from being insulted.

Next time I'm bored I'll walk into Woking(England) and set fire to the "Big Issue" vendors.
So?
