The Little Mermaid statue in Denmark's capital was found draped in a Muslim dress and head scarf Sunday morning.
Police removed the clothing after a telephone caller reported it, spokesman Jorgen Thomsen said.
The statue sculpted in tribute to author Hans Christian Andersen draws about 1 million visitors a year and is targeted occasionally by vandals. On Tuesday, the statue's face, left arm and lap were found doused with red paint.
In 2004, someone put a burqa, the head-to-toe Islamic robe, on the statue, along with a sign questioning Turkey's bid to join the European Union.

Unless I missed something, I'm not sure Denmark has any say over Turkey's policies.

I suppose they should be grateful that she wasnt stoned or otherwise destroyed in an honor killing. It will be. It is an image of a human, an anathema to møøselimbs.

I beg your pardon! Apes are much better, and have higher potential.

Since the Statue is of the Hans Christian Anderson character, this strikes against every child in the non-muzlim world.Beslan.
