Copenhagen, Denmark (AHN) - Denmark is pulling its ambassadors out of Syria, Iran and Indonesia to protect them. The Foreign Ministry says their safety was at risk after a Danish newspaper published caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. Denmark's embassies have been targeted by angry mobs.
The Danish Foreign Ministry released a statement saying, “The ambassador and expatriate staff at the embassy in Jakarta have left Indonesia, it added. "This is due to information about reliable security threats against staff at the embassy."
According to the ministry, the Finnish embassy will handle consular tasks for Denmark in Iran, and the Dutch embassy in Indonesia.
The Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published the cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed last September and tension flared in the Middle East in January after other European newspapers reprinted the cartoons in the name of free speech.
Islam prohibits the portrayal of the Prophet Mohammed.
"SUPPORT DENMARK!"
Ah...Legos...I wish we made them here, but I'd buy them just to support the Danes against the scum in dirty night-shirts.
Since brainwashed Muslims are taught to lie to all "infidels" to further the "greater cause" of Islam, this display of demented rage about drawing the "image" the Arabian founder of the death cult is most likely another lie.
Islam can take a image of their False Prophet and stick it where the sun doesn't shine.
