The protesters, chanting "God is Greatest" and "Europe, Europe, shame on you", smashed all the diplomatic mission's windows with stones and then tried to hurl petrol bombs inside.

Austria currently holds the presidency of the European Union. Protesters also waved placards and shouted slogans against the EU's stance on Iran's nuclear programme.

The bombs exploded in flames against metal grilles guarding the windows.

Further demonstrations were planned for later on Monday outside the Danish and Norwegian embassies in Tehran.

I don't recall that any Austrian newspapers even printed the cartoon.

This ridiculous rampage over a cartoon by the Muslim masses should wake the world up to the danger of Iran having a nuclear bomb.

I am starting to think that these imams and Iran are trying to start a holy war. It's the only thing that makes any sense.

The radical Muslims HAVE been conducting a "Holy War" for hundreds of years - already!

We just haven't recognized it as such...

Time to respond.....with "extreme prejudice".

Maybe this is what it is finally going to take to wake Europe up? I wish every one of these mo-ham-head worshippers would be evicted from Europe & every other place they inhabit.

While I'm at it, I wish some one would hurry & come up with an oil alternative - 'cause without the money they get from oil - they are NOTHING baby!

"I am starting to think that these imams and Iran are trying to start a holy war. It's the only thing that makes any sense."

Occam's Razor ~ The simplest answer is usually the correct answer.

This is kind of like Kristallnacht, except that even the Nazis had an actual dead body to exploit. The Islamofascists just have a drawing.

I believe the protests are over Iran being referred to the UNSC. Austria is the president of the EU this month, so they are at fault (in their opinion).

The only solution to this problem is to keep these creatures out of the United States. Europe is lost. We need to stop relying on anything coming out of the ME and become independent on our own. I would rather crawl on my hands and knees before I pay one penny of tribute to these animals.

"Keep up the violence."

That's the way I look at it too. This is great! The fools are alienating some of their biggest defenders.
