Jylland-Posten put out cartoons based on Mohammed 4 months ago. Why is the Muslim world burning now?
Below I try to outline the chain of events. I believe that it is no coincidence that Saudi Arabia, the country representing Islam to the world, made its move just a day after an Islamic party came to power in the Palestinian parliament. It is also no coincidence that Palestinians are threatening Europe at a time when Europe is threatening to withdraw funds.

Something Rotten in Denmark?
(from New York Post August 27, 2002)
http://www.danielpipes.org/article/450
A Muslim group in Denmark announced a few days ago that a $30,000 bounty would be paid for the murder of several prominent Danish Jews, a threat that garnered wide international notice. Less well known is that this is just one problem associated with Denmark's approximately 200,000 Muslim immigrants. The key issue is that many of them show little desire to fit into their adopted country.
For years, Danes lauded multiculturalism and insisted they had no problem with the Muslim customs - until one day they found that they did. Some major issues:
Living on the dole: Third-world immigrants - most of them Muslims from countries such as Turkey, Somalia, Pakistan, Lebanon and Iraq - constitute 5 percent of the population but consume upwards of 40 percent of the welfare spending.
Engaging in crime: Muslims are only 4 percent of Denmark's 5.4 million people but make up a majority of the country's convicted rapists, an especially combustible issue given that practically all the female victims are non-Muslim. Similar, if lesser, disproportions are found in other crimes.
Self-imposed isolation: Over time, as Muslim immigrants increase in numbers, they wish less to mix with the indigenous population. A recent survey finds that only 5 percent of young Muslim immigrants would readily marry a Dane.
Importing unacceptable customs: Forced marriages - promising a newborn daughter in Denmark to a male cousin in the home country, then compelling her to marry him, sometimes on pain of death - are one problem. Another is threats to kill Muslims who convert out of Islam. One Kurdish convert to Christianity, who went public to explain why she had changed religion, felt the need to hide her face and conceal her identity, fearing for her life.
Fomenting anti-Semitism: Muslim violence threatens Denmark's approximately 6,000 Jews, who increasingly depend on police protection. Jewish parents were told by one school principal that she could not guarantee their children's safety and were advised to attend another institution. Anti-Israel marches have turned into anti-Jewish riots. One organization, Hizb-ut-Tahrir, openly calls on Muslims to "kill all Jews . . . wherever you find them."
Seeking Islamic law: Muslim leaders openly declare their goal of introducing Islamic law once Denmark's Muslim population grows large enough - a not-that-remote prospect. If present trends persist, one sociologist estimates, every third inhabitant of Denmark in 40 years will be Muslim.
Other Europeans (such as the late Pim Fortuyn in Holland) have also grown alarmed about these issues, but Danes were the first to make them the basis for a change in government.
In a momentous election last November, a center-right coalition came to power that - for the first time since 1929 - excluded the socialists. The right broke its 72-year losing streak and won a solid parliamentary majority by promising to handle immigration issues, the electorate's first concern, differently from the socialists.
The next nine months did witness some fine-tuning of procedures: Immigrants now must live seven years in Denmark (rather than three) to become permanent residents. Most non-refugees no longer can collect welfare checks immediately on entering the country. No one can bring into the country an intended spouse under the age of 24. And the state prosecutor is considering a ban on Hizb-ut-Tahrir for its death threats against Jews.
These minor adjustments prompted howls internationally - with European and U.N. reports condemning Denmark for racism and "Islamophobia," the Washington Post reporting that Muslim immigrants "face habitual discrimination," and a London Guardian headline announcing that "Copenhagen Flirts with Fascism."
In reality, however, the new government barely addressed the existing problems. Nor did it prevent new ones, such as the death threats against Jews or a recent Islamic edict calling on Muslims to drive Danes out of the Norrebro quarter of Copenhagen.
The authorities remain indulgent. The military mulls permitting Muslim soldiers in Denmark's volunteer International Brigade to opt out of actions they don't agree with - a privilege granted to members of no other faith. Mohammed Omar Bakri, the self-proclaimed London-based "eyes, ears and mouth" of Osama bin Laden, won permission to set up a branch of his organization, Al-Muhajiroun.
Contrary to media reports, the real news from Denmark is not flirting with fascism but getting mired in inertia. A government elected specifically to deal with a set of problems has made minimal headway. Its reluctance has potentially profound implications for the West as a whole.
Hi guys,
I'm from Romania living in Denmark with my wife ( stuburn danish woman who dont want to live outside Denmark ). When I came in Denmark first time ( 2 years ago ) I was shocked from the begining about something: in public places, somebody was writing "Fuck danska" and "Danish are pigs". When I've asked my girlfriend ( at that time ) how is that posible, she said that I cant understand, it is about democracy of Danmark, open-minded, etc. When I said that for this somebody must be send to jail...she repeated the same thing like before.
Well, from the first day I saw that, I was sure that this will go more much far...and now I wish to be wrong when I am thinking that. We also have problems in Romania...many...but not like that. In Romania for something like that, before the police come, somebody has to be in hospital if there are people arround. How is it posible in Danmark ? As I know, this country spend alot on those scums. This country sometimes take care more of those scums than own native citizens. 2 years ago when a romanian guy kill those 2 muslims in south of DK, everybody said that romanian guy was stupid. Well, now thinking, it was not a coincidence that those was muslims, and as I know myself, it has to be something extremely heavy to make a romanian to react like that.
Then, after we moved ( me and my wife-girlfriend then ) together, I didnt know why my wife avoid to go shoping, and sending me most of the times. Well, after a wile she told me what is about. When I found out what is about, I told her to get dressed, and we go shoping. At a moment, few nice arabs was spiting "friendly" my wife. Now I understand why my wife didnt want to tell me what was about, because she new what can come after. Well...what can I say...I was forced to use force. And I did it so well, that from that moment, when I was going out, they was runing, and my wife never had that "friendly" treatment. It maybe for some of you ( like it was for my wife ) a abnormal way to solve the case...But with those, it is the only way that somebody can speak.
Anyway...what I want to know is from where can I have a log file from one of the servers that was under atack ? I am curious when it comes about IP's...I like numbers.
p.s.
I'm not speaking so well danish yet, but I work hard for that. I also want to start a website and do whatever you ask in support for you.
p.s. 2
why coming so hard the registration ? I had to write anonymous this, and I dont like to anonymous...

You did very well. You should be proud. The Danes and other Western Europeans who do not defend their land and women should be ashamed of themselves. If 1 Romanian can act so strongly, what if 100 Danes stood up to the Muslim scum and taught them a lesson?
Off course the media would say "Nazis and racists" and the usual flippin lies.
