COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Gangs of rioters set fire to cars and garbage trucks in northern Copenhagen on Friday, the sixth night of rioting and vandalism that has spread from the capital to other Danish cities, police said on Saturday.
Five youths were arrested in the capital on Friday after 28 cars and 35 garbage trucks were burned, Copenhagen police duty officer Jakob Kristensen told Reuters.
Danish media said arrests in other towns brought to 29 the number of people police were holding.
Scores of cars and several schools have been vandalized or burned in the past week. Police could give no reason, but said that unusually mild weather and the closure of schools for a winter break might have contributed.
Police arrested two Tunisians and a Dane of Moroccan descent on Tuesday for planning to kill a cartoonist who drew one of the cartoons printed in a Danish newspaper two years ago that roused a storm of protest in Muslim countries.
Fifteen Danish newspapers reprinted his drawing on Wednesday in protest against the alleged murder plot.
Several hundred Muslims gathered in central Copenhagen on Friday to protest against publication of the cartoon. Most Muslims consider depictions of the founder of Islam offensive.
Social workers said the arrests, the reprinting of the cartoon and protests against its appearance might have fuelled the riots.
Publication of the cartoons two years ago led to protests and rioting in Muslim countries in which at least 50 people were killed and three Danish embassies attacked.

MUSLIMS.
How unfortunate the media doesn't have the BALLS to say it.
so where are the counter riots
Denmark is the new France...
Islam: You can kill the infidel and even your own if they break a Shariah rule, but don’t draw Muhammad.
Religion of pieces.....
Look what the United States does.
The media and politicans drool and fawn over them now.
I would say by 2012 at the latest they wil begin to make their presence known.
“The people of the world, not just EU, had better wake up soon..”
It’s not going to happen as long as we prefer to buy oil from the Muslims instead of developing our own plentiful resources.
Past time for the Danes to apply Rule 308 to the rioters.
Beowulf is not forgotten?
Cant wait for it to start in Canada ! I’ll go to the border and laugh my butt off!
Muslim immigration to Europe is comparable to Mexican legal & illegal immigration to USA. Muslim numbers are small here due to geographical circumstance but they sure are fawned over.
Islam = default religion for the world’s lumpen nihilists anarchists
However, if the ship were to (ahem) "founder" on the way over, with a tragic loss of life . . . well, it would be a tragedy. (Best to use some old worn-out tramp steamer.)
Danish youths? Frigging idiots!!
Ah but are guns legal there? Bet not.
Reuters thinks we are all idiots.
Oh, that's right...
Because he always looks like the bad guy ;)
Committing a felony as a guest should trump a refugee claim.
You riot, you go home. Wherever it is. And no matter what the consequences might be.
If they're going to chop off your head back in Turbanistan, you should've thought of that before you torched the garbage truck.
This should be easy. That it's somehow not says a lot about the West.
The west had better get the message.
Permitting Muslims in our countries makes as much sense as having allowed the NAZIs to set up a recruiting office here in the 1930’s.

Precisely. It should be easy. It is not. They will claim refugee status. Which is why we should make a point of NOT returning them to their country of origin. No refugee status. No sticky mess. Just kick them off close enough to shore that they can swim for it, and then go back and get more. Beowulf wouldn’t pussy-foot around with this crap.
