Something just crossed my mind....
One of the rioters in Denmark stated that these riots were planned in advance. The riots in Paris were reportedly sparked by the electrocution of the two guys running from the cops.
Which is it? Spontaneous or planned?
The reports I've seen so far indicate that last night was the worst yet and the riots continue to spread.
Looks more like an insurrection than a riot. Multiple cities in multiple countries.
Something needs to be done around Iran. The Iranian president is encouraging further violence.
I think it was planned, but the electrocution ended up bringing them out en masse.
If you look back to last week, the protests were even encouraged from the US:

I think you're right.
Victor Davis Hanson: The Real Global Virus. The plague of Islamism keeps on spreading.
NRO ^ | November 4, 2005 | Victor Davis Hanson
"...the world — if it is to save its present liberal system of free trade, safe travel, easy and unfettered communications, and growing commitment to constitutional government —
"must begin seeing radical Islamism as a universal pathology rather than reactions to regional grievances, if it is ever to destroy it materially and refute it ideologically."
"...in large part four nations stand in the way of eradicating much of the global spread of jihadism -
"and it is no accident that either oil or nuclear weapons have won a global free pass for three of them. -
"And it is no accident that we don’t have a means to wean ourselves off Middle East oil
"or as yet stop Iran from becoming the second Islamic nuclear nation."
"...when the American public is still bickering over WMDs rather than relieved that the culprit for the first World Trade Center bombing can no longer find official welcome in Baghdad;
"- or when our pundits seem more worried about Halliburton than the changes in nuclear attitudes in Libya and Pakistan;
"- or when the media mostly ignores a greater percentage of voters turning out
"for a free national election in the heart of the ancient caliphate
"than during most election years in the United States —
"something has gone terribly, tragically wrong here at home."

Deadly bomb technology enters Iraq from Iran-general
Reuters ^ | 04 Nov 2005 | Charles Aldinger
WASHINGTON, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Sophisticated technology and explosives to make improvised bombs killing U.S. and other troops in Iraq are apparently
entering the country virtually unhindered from Iran, a senior British general said on Friday.
---
The Pentagon said more than half of all U.S. casualties in Iraq stem from homemade bombs, which are often buried along a road or hidden inside debris or even animal carcasses and usually detonated by remote control or with a timer. The Pentagon said on Friday that 2,035 U.S. soldiers had been killed and nearly 15,500 more wounded in a war that started in March 2003.
"I think we're not completely certain where the manufacture takes place," said Dutton of the devices.
"We know where the technological know-how comes from and we suspect where the parts come from," he said. "Where they are actually put together is something that we're working on."

In my opinion, the riots are planned.
