Thought for the night

Any Christians out there that will want to torch a Dutch embassy because of me linking to this clip?

No?

Didn't think so.

Further clues that the current unrest is orchestrated

Gateway Pundit has a well-sourced story which offers further clues that the current unrest abot the Mohammed cartoons may be orchestrated. Compulsory reading.

Is this true?

Interesting article:

One issue that puzzles many Danes is the timing of this outburst. The cartoons were published in September: Why have the protests erupted from Muslims worldwide only now? The person who knows the answer to this question is Ahmed Abdel Rahman Abu Laban, a man that the Washington Post has recently profiled as “one of Denmark's most prominent imams.”

(...)

On its face, it would appear as if nothing were wrong. However, the Danish Muslim delegation showed much more than the 12 cartoons published by Jyllands Posten. In the booklet it presented during its tour of the Middle East, the delegation included other cartoons of Mohammed that were highly offensive, including one where the Prophet has a pig face. But these additional pictures were NOT published by the newspaper, but were completely fabricated by the delegation and inserted in the booklet (which has been obtained and made available to me by Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet).

Danish buycott

OK, that's it. Following the lead of Samizdata, Andrew Sullivan and, uh, Samizdata yet again, I think today's events prove beyond any doubt that the Danish deserve the full backing of the western world, by which I do not mean to refer to my 'colleagues' working for the British and American mainstream press who seem to have been engaged in a fierce competition for the Chamberlain Award this past week.

One problem though. What do the Danes produce apart from feta cheese and Carlsberg? Here's a start, but suggestions on what to buy can be left in the comments section or emailed to me directly. I will put up a list here.

And please, do copy the flag and the call for a Danish buycott, and sign this petition while you're at it.
