The Danes need to shut her down and get out.
Flamers and kingpins, the cornerstone of any protest.
Seriously though, just tell Ahmadinejad that they are pro-democracy protesters, and it will be over in .2 seconds.

your post is why i really dont have much sympathy for denmark at all. they continue the hooker routine with iran against our wishes, then reap their reward. and what do they say? nato will have to defend us. lol, thats a good one. im a bit curious why the federal states of eu dont defend one of their member states? anyone think of that?
It is kind of hard for someone to be 'peaceful' when they are rioting.

Just do one with Mohammed doing a pig...
Europe would rather burn to the ground than admit that America could be right about anything.
