Dane here, with my biased opinion, and I seem to getting more and more biased as time a goes by, sadly enough.

Yes most of the violence seems to be from the countries Lebanon and Syrian, but the situation seems to escalate still in Southeast Asia too. In Jakarta did protester to try storm the Danish embassy see here. And another thing is that even in the "peaceful" protest are there threat of violence and or the call for total destruction of Denmark.

The Arabic countries newspaper written in English, are feeding the fire of the conflict, with their sloppy one-sided “journalism”, there where times where I found factual fact that so far out, that they could only mean they have had pulled the “fact” out of the thin air. And I am biased enough to think that the Arabic versions, are probably not any better more likely worse.

The Danish foreign affair; recommend that Danes stay away from the following countries, except if it is extremely necessary: Marokko, Algeriet, Tunesien, Libyen, Egypten, Sudan, Oman, Forenede Arabiske Emirater, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kuwait.

The newspaper JP is political liberal right wing with a generally good reputation and it’s owned by its own fond, so it doesn’t have to answer over for an owner.

Personally do I find the drawings pretty mild. And I can’t really understand why they are racists, I can see if you called them blasphemy, but racism has to do with race?. All this get me to remember that saw a painting in at art museum with early Danish surrealists. One of the painting that I do remember was with Christ on the crucifix bone thin with a gas mask on his in the background commands catholic priest German soldiers to attack civilians. It was written as a commentary over the Catholic Church involvement in the Spanish civil war. That paining was, at the time it got drawn, almost certain blasphemy in Denmark, which could get you a prison sentences, and in Spain without a doubt. It was not picasso’s ”Guernica” but i am stil glad it got painted.
