The current state of Denmark

I appologize for not being more clear in my post about this matter. With "they" I meant media in general and Jyllandsposten specifically. The Danish people in general are in my experience very hospitable and kind and I actually had a hard time believing that those pictures originated from Denmark of all places.

I also appologize for getting the Danish Prime Ministers party wrong. This was a slip of my brain due to the Danish word *Venstre*, which means "left" in Swedish. I do know that Venstre is a right wing party but this time my brain just continued on the left track. I'm sorry about that. I usually check facts before posting.

As one of my commentarys pointed out, the Danish Prime Minister could have taken a personal stand about those pictures early on, but instead chose to ignore the concerns raised by Muslim officials. With Denmark already involved in Iraq it doesn't take much brain power to see that this was a potentially dangerous decision.

The fact that the Danish Prime Minister actually didn't react until Danish economic interests were threatened just adds to the anger of many Muslims and of course extremists seize the opportunity to blow it out of proportions by targeting the poor and uneducated part of Muslim people who only have a vague knowledge of the world in general.

I really hope that this comes to a peaceful solution but frankly I'm quite concerned.
