I am not xenophobic (far from it, I have friends from many cultures, including muslims), but I would like to know why the muslims are protesting in countries that have not published the cartoons. Regarding the countries that have published the cartoons, well, as I have stated, I think the Muslims have shot themselves in the foot. Had they just had a little protest (or even ignored the cartoons) in Denmark, the cartoons would have been forgotton, probably within a few hours.

Regarding the conduct of some of the people on the protests. In general, it seemed peaceful, so I have no real problem with them. What I do have a problem with is those who hold the "Death to Infidels" banners, and that tw*t who dressed up as a suicide bomber. Perhaps that has something to do with the fact that one of my friends was in the building next door to the bus that exploded in Tavistock Sq, (she spent her day helping the wounded where possible, giving them cups of tea, allowing them to use her phone and email to contact relatives etc), and as a result is scared of buses.
