Denmark and Norway have urged their citizens to leave Syria, after the embassies of both countries in Damascus were set on fire.

Several thousand Syrian demonstrators set both embassies alight in protest at the publishing of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad by newspapers in several European countries.

Police fired teargas to disperse the protesters.

Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere said he had telephoned his Syrian counterpart, Faruq al-Shara and told him 'this was completely unacceptable'.

He added that Mr al-Shara 'had distanced himself from the attack, and he apologised'.

Meanwhile, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said his government should consider abandoning commercial and trade deals with countries where the cartoons have appeared.

Vatican appeals for mutual respect

The Vatican appealed for a climate of mutual respect in its first public comment on the controversy, saying the right to freedom of expression did not imply the right to offend religious beliefs.

However, it criticised as 'equally deplorable' the violent reaction in the Islamic world, and said that an offence committed by one person or one newspaper could not be blamed on a country or its institutions.

It should be mutual, Danes and Scandanavians leave Islamic lands and all MooSlimes leave Denmark and Scandanavia.

The Arabs do not want assimilation they want to dominate and dictate and it is time for red blooded Americans to stand up and say join us or leave.

If they will not assimilate, and hate this country, they should leave now.

As the other poster said, the crap is going to hit the fan soon.

Islam is emerging as the number one enemy of the United States.

Actually the number one enemy of democracy!

Suggested alternative, "followers of 'Religion of Peace' demonstrably not religious enough."

Now that will stick in their craw. They pride themselves as being strict Muslems. Well, evidently not, if it's a relgion of peace.

Seems like a good solution. For every country in the world.

The Vatican is dead wrong on this issue.

Freedom of speech is the freedom to offend anyone.

Otherwise those who are easily offended can demand silence from everyone else.

This forum is a great example. Thousands of people are "offended" here every day. If they don't like it they know where they can find the door.

We should urge Muslims to leave America because they have offended our God by killing Americans.
