Muslim anger on cartoons spreads

"Up to 300 hardline Islamic activists in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, went on a rampage in the lobby of a building housing the Danish embassy in Jakarta.
Shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is Greatest), they smashed lamps with bamboo sticks, threw chairs, lobbed rotten eggs and tomatoes and tore up a Danish flag. No one was hurt.
In the West Bank city of Ramallah, hundreds of Palestinians attended a Hamas-organized rally, tearing up a French flag and holding up banners reading: "The assault on the Prophet is an assault on Islam"..."

In the West Bank city of Ramallah, hundreds of Palestinians attended a Hamas-organized rally
On the other hand:
Mahmoud Zahar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza, visited a group of Christian nuns and clerics yesterday at the Holy Family School to reassure them after the Latin Church, a small congregation based in Jerusalem, had also received threats. He unequivocally condemned the threats against foreign nationals. " We are not accepting any aggression against foreign institutions whether EU or American, or against any other group, foreign or Palestinian," Dr Zahar said. He said some Palestinians had already boycotted Danish goods and Hamas wanted them to continue protesting by "legal means".
He told the Christian group "you are our brothers who live side by side with us along with the foreigners who come to serve this community". He said that Hamas's armed wing would offer protection for the Christians until such time as an incoming Hamas government could reform the security services and provide official security.

I think his point is that Mahmoud Zahar, the leader of Hamas will spread peace and love all over the world.

I don't know why the muslims are taking out their anger at denmark. They have no control over what an independant newspaper prints. It would be like black people riotting at the white house gates for letting the KKK print hate material

This over sensitivity is bullshit. Do I get to burn down an art gallery that displays a crucifix submerged in urine since I am a Christian?
These people need a reality check.
Also, it gives merit to the cartoons.....they are acting like them.
-------------------- “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Good observation, here is the point you are missing. In the arab-muslim world, the government does and should control what newspaper prints. They do not differentiate between religion, government, and free press because theirs are all connected.

The muslims didn't seem to protest this much when an American got his head cut off in the name of allah. This is probably the best thing that could of happened to the world, it's opened the eyes that have been shut in denial. This part of the world has shown is true hypocrisy, unfortunately many of us already knew of this hypocrisy. I applaud the Danes and whenever possible I'd take up the slack of whatever Danish goods that aren't used in the middle east.

I don't know why the muslims are taking out their anger at denmark.
it's not all muslims (as alex231 pointed out), just the young, underemployed, uneducated, ignorant, angry, insecure, males...
does anyone else notice the similarities between the militant islam and white supremacist movements? it's the same phenomenon: young, angry, ignorant, insecure males joining the same sort of movements to fulfill the same needs.

A friend of mine pointed out that france does have a large muslim population. So it was probably common knowledge that drawing muhummad went against their religion.
Not following allah is against their religion. Personally I don't care what their religion's "rules" are. I'm Christian, not following the 10 commandments are against my religion.
I believe France has the most muslims in a non-muslim country (5 million)...then again, when in rome, do as the Romans do....or in this case, the frogs.

On some photos you can even see a crowd burning danish flags - obviously there are some well-equipped flag burners out there, with assorted flags of all western nations.
The over-reaction of the islam leaders, shortly after the election of the Hamas in Palestine and the dispute over atomic material with Iran really produce a reaction that can be summed up as "now, somehow this really goes to far" in me and many other people in Europe, I think. I guess a growing polarization between east and west is almost inevitable now.
