Danes in muslim countries have been warned and told to be careful. The moderate muslim politician Naser
Khader ( Ny Allianse) have become friends with Pia Kjærsgaard (DF). He now
suggests that Denmark should remove the blasphemy paragraph from the law. Pia has previously suggested it, but was voted down. Now it seems like they
might get the blasphemy paragraph removed. According to Khader, Salman Rushdie could have broken this law if he had written the Satanic Verses in
Denmark. It's an ancient law which should be removed.

I'm assuming. The caption under the photo says,
Students of the religious Jamaat-e-Islami party, Pakistan's largest Islamic group, protest against Danish newspapers who have reprinted cartoons
of the Prophet Muhammad, in Karachi, Pakistan, Thursday, Feb. 14, 2008. (AP Photo/Shakil Adil)
Just goes to show how likely the information disseminated to the masses in countries with state-controlled media is inaccurate.

I remember during the previous protests of the cartoons. They demanded that the President of Denmark should apologize. Denmark doesn't have a
President. Maybe they believe that Denmark has its own Pope as well? I don't know...

Well, one can argue that the cartoon in question was meant "to show different views", as you put it. If it's the view of the artist that certain
interpretation of Islam advocates terrorism, he must be free to express this view. I totally support and admire him.

This is going to be the straw the broke the camel's back.
The Islamic world is going to go berzerk. People are going to die. Property is going to be destroyed. All because of Religion. They're not the first
ones to do this. The world sees organized religion as a threat, where a unified people can affect economy on a world wide scale. In the name of the
WTO, UN and the like, this is not acceptable behavior for a civilized world. The economy is more important than religion. The money must keep
moving.
I see the World Organizations creating a new entity for themselves to control Religion. They have all the other agencies to unite the world.
Why is the World Religious Organization (WRO) taking so long to create?

Sudan is now boycotting Denmark. And once again, completely innocent people receive death threats, even though they have nothing to do with the
cartoons. Protesters in Sudan also calls for Bin Laden to attack Denmark.

A Hamas tv-show for children encourages kids to kill Kurt Westergaard...
A Palestinian spokesman in Norway tried to defend this video, by calling it "a misunderstanding". He claimed that the Palestinian word for "kill"
is almost the same as the word for "hug". So he apparently tried to make it look like they encourages them to hug the cartoonist, and not to kill
him.  However, the boss of the TV station apologised and admitted error. He said it came "out of control". It was a live show, and this
wouldn't have happened if they've had time to edit, he said.

Why don't those who are offended leave Denmark and those not living there refuse to buy or sell to Denmark.

An Egyptian newspaper misquoted him! They said he told all muslims to go to Hell, when he in fact told only the extremists from Hizb-ut-Tahrir
to go to Hell. And they also claimed that he was the leader of a far-right party, when he is in fact the leader of the Socialist People's Party
(currently the biggest leftist party in Denmark). The Danes have contacted the Egyptian newspaper, who promised to publish a correction.

Two men, arrested at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago on October 3rd, apparently planned terror attacks against Jyllandsposten and/or planned
to kill Flemming Rose and Kurt Westergaard.
U.S. arrests in cartoon terrorism plans
27. okt 2009
Two men – a 49-year-old U.S. national and a 48-year-old Canadian national - are under arrest in Chicago on charges of preparing a terrorist attack
against the Jyllands-Posten newspaper and other targets in Denmark. Jyllands-Posten was the newspaper which published cartoons of the Prophet
Mohammed.
[---]
The Chicago Tribune says that Headley was detained at the O’Hare International Airport on October 3rd and has allegedly admitted to receiving
training from Lashkar-e-Taiba and is reported to have acknowledged that the plan called for either an attack on Jyllands-Postens building or the
killing of the newspaper’s cultural editor and the cartoonist Kurt Westergaard.
[---]
Those arrested are said by PET to have been in close contact with the Lashkar-e-Taiba, al-Qaeda and Harakat-ul-Jihad Islami terrorist organisations in
connection with planning for the attack

Here's some more details on the terror plot.
Bloomberg: Two Chicago Men Charged in Alleged Danish Terror Plot
(Update4)
Oct. 27 (Bloomberg)
Headley allegedly visited two different Jyllands-Posten offices in January, one in Copenhagen and another in Viby, Denmark. At the Copenhagen site, he
told employees he was visiting on behalf of First World Immigration Services
[---]
The main targets were the newspaper’s Viby and Copenhagen offices, Scharf said today at a press conference. Kurt Westergaard, the cartoonist who
drew the picture of Muhammad wearing a bomb in his turban, and Flemming Rose, an editor at the newspaper who was responsible for printing the
drawings, were two specific targets of the planned attack, Scharf said.
[---]
The planned attacks would have involved “hand weapons and explosives,” Scharf said.
“We’re continuing the investigations and can’t rule out that it will lead to more arrests,”

Eastern Jutland police say that the package measured 20 by 40 was on the stairs in front of the artist’s home.
