Anti-Danish protests continue

Was reading this article from Yahoo news.


But just loved this part:

"Thousands took to the streets Sunday elsewhere in the Muslim world and parts of Europe, including some 4,000 Afghans who burned a Danish flag and demanding that the editors at Jyllands-Posten be prosecuted for blasphemy."

Im sorry but unless the guys drawing the cartoons were muslim, how the hell could they be prosecuted for blasphemy. Also as Denmark is a secular country what charge could they be held on.

The problem I think for many of the muslims who are going crazy over this and demanding that Denmark appologise, fail to understand is that countries in Europe are not run by dictators, who control the press (ok Berlusconi in Italy may be an exception ;)). While in many muslim countries the government controls everything and there is no freedom of expression.
