Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades members hold anti-Denmark demonstration Sunday to protest recent publication of caricatures mocking Prophet Muhammad in Danish newspaper, threaten to harm Danish nationals in territories and urge them to leave area immediately.
Dozens of al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades members held a demonstration against Denmark Sunday at the main square in the West Bank town of Nablus, shouted anti-Danish slogans and threatened to harm Danish targets located in the West Bank and Gaza.
Sunday's demonstration is the last in a string of Muslim rallies to protest the recent publication of a series of caricatures mocking Muslim prophet Muhammad in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten.
The caricatures, including one that depicts Muhammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban, stirred outrage among the Muslim community in Denmark that soon crossed borders and spread to other countries as well.
During the demonstration in Nablus, participants threatened to harm Danish interests in the territories and called on all Danish representatives and activists operating in the area to leave immediately. Members of the organization also urged Danish citizens planning to enter the territories to refrain from doing so in order to avoid being hurt.
Protesters also demanded the Palestinian public to suspend all ties with Denmark, in light of what they described as a "serious insult to Muslim sentiments."
An al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades senior member told Ynet that "the Danish campaign against the prophet Muhammad constitutes part of the crusade the western world conducts against Islam."
'Protest against enemies of Islam'
The activist stressed the demonstration was not related to recent political developments in the territories and to Hamas' win in the elections.
"This is a demonstration for Islam and against the enemies of Islam. We are not interested in seeing Danish nationals here, and we are currently debating how to act against them within our borders," he added.
Meanwhile, the International Islamic Council on Saturday called on all Muslims to make sure their protest against Denmark takes only peaceful means.
"We ask all members of the Islamic nations to express their views in a calm and civilized manner, and to avoid getting carried away and make mistakes unbecoming of Muhammad's way," the organization said in a statement.
Notably, Saudi Arabia has already recalled its ambassador from Copenhagen last week, claiming Denmark has not done enough to appease offended worshippers.

How would these folks react if Denmark decided to expel all muslims from its country? Threaten their lives?
Or is this just a one-way deal for them?
Hey MoHamHead...I'm outraged by IslamoPuke "Leb style" gang rapes.
So those cartoons do accurately portray Islamic behavior.

LOL!
:)
Good cartoons!
Gee, what do we gotta do to get tossed out of the PA?
Kind of proves the point of the cartoons, doesn't it?
Sounds like Denmark should do a cleansing process of their own and send all of the Muslim population in Denmark packing. Amen.
Of course it is a one-way street. The Danes should be honored. They are the first to actually draw a line and hold to it. And to be 'punished' for it. Oh that we would do that.
Wow! I see this is plastered all over the front pages of the NYT, the WaPO, and the LA times! /s
People who are hyper-sensitive about themselves are usually very insensitive towards others. A case in point, Palestinians destroy or desecrate Jewish and Chiristian sites and the Taliban destroys Buddhist sites and the world is supposed to understand. But someone makes a cartoon mocking Islam and watch out! The jihadists are so verklempt...
I take it they stink bc of the "left-hand-shuffle"?
From another post, I saw this.
Last year, the U.S. spent $500 million to help the Palestinians, $70 million directly to the Palestinian Authority. Source
The cutoff of this funding would be a start.
