Muslim extremists are using the furor over the Prophet Mohammed cartoons published in European newspapers to rally the faithful to a jihad (holy war), in several Internet postings.
"Brothers, it's war against Islam ..., grab your swords," says hardline Saudi cleric Sheikh Badr Bin Nader Al Mashari in a voice recording posted on an Islamist Website.
"Slit their throats in the style of [Abu Mussab] Al Zarqawi," he said referring to Iraq's most-wanted militant and leader of Al Qaeda in the war-torn country.
He said that the cartoons - first published by a Danish newspaper in September with several other European papers following suit over the past week - are "part of the war waged by the decadent West against the triumphant Islam".
"To the billion Muslims: where are your arms? Your enemies have trampled on the Prophet. Rise up," screamed the sheikh, who is the imam of a mosque in Riyadh, amid the cries of the faithful listening to his speech.
Muslim bloggers even launched a Website, www.no4denmark.com, exhorting the faithful to boycott Danish products.
Danish dairy products have already been banned from supermarkets in most Arab countries in the wake of the crisis.

About blowing up statues; it seems pretty obvious that any religion's property, symbols, etc, are fair game to Muslims. Especially anything that smacks of idolatry.
I checked and there is nothing there that says anything at all about special objections to images of Mohammed or Allah.
And, if they don't like any kind of pictures then what about their own nasty pictures of Jews, Americans, etc.?
