 How many mosques or embassies were burned when the Pope was shot?
 
 
 I rest my case.
Yes, but they probably throw stones at Maronite churches everyday in Lebanon since the civil war broke out in the late 70's, but you're only just now hearing about it because the news is covering it again.
 
 The Danish Embassy, on the other hand, a bit extreme.

Danish paper pursues Holocaust cartoons
 
 The Danish paper responsible for the original caricatures of the prophet Muhammad is set to run cartoons satirising the Holocaust.
 Flemming Rose, the culture editor of Danish daily Jyllands-Posten, said today he was trying to get in touch with the Iranian paper, Hamshari, which plans to run an international competition seeking cartoons about the Holocaust.
 
 "My newspaper is trying to establish a contact with the Iranian newspaper, and we would run the cartoons the same day as they publish them," Mr Rose told CNN.
 
 The Danish editor was also defiantly unapologetic about the original publication of 12 cartoons - one of which featured the prophet wearing a turban shaped as a bomb - in his paper five months ago.
 Mr Rose said he did not regret publishing the pictures.
 
 "I think it is like asking a rape victim if she regrets wearing a short skirt at a discotheque [on] Friday night," he said.
 
 "If you're wearing a short skirt that does not necessarily mean you invite everybody to have sex with you. If you make a cartoon, make fun of religion, make fun of religious figures, that does not imply that you humiliate or denigrate or marginalise a religion."
 
 The backlash continued in Denmark today, where almost 1,000 Danish websites have been defaced by Islamic hackers protesting about the cartoons, posted pro-Islam messages and condemnation of the cartoons' publication on the sites.
 
 "We have never seen so many defacements that are politically targeted in such a short time," said Roberto Preatoni, the founder and administrator of hacking monitor service, Zone-H.
 
 "What is extraordinary for this Danish case is the speed in which the community united," he told the BBC.
 
 Websites have been hacked to include messages calling for boycotts of Danish goods and warnings that the Danes should expect a violent response.
 
 More than 900 Danish websites have been hacked, with a further 1,600 western sites attacked and defaced.

the fact is, the rightish Danish paper that published the cartoons did so specifically to be provokative.
 roadbike mankie, it's really stupid of you to use the term "The Muslims" - unless they're some band your hip ass is privy to - in reference to the people who were out protesting and destroying. Then again, maybe you took the time out to take a countand found that a large enough percentage of the world's Muslim population were involved that it's safe enough to just lump all them together into one brown and yellow pile. Almost as asanine is Snarfle's comparison with the pope's attempted assasination; the Pope doesnt speak for all Christians any more than his would be assassin spoke for all Muslims. It's this kind of lazy thoughtless commentary that adds to the rift.
 
 let the snarkitude begin...

What about Catholics?  He certainly speaks/spoke for about a billion.
 
 Yeah those Dansk cartoons were really quite provocative, much more so than an raghead assasin's bullet to the spiritual leader of a billion.  
 
 Ziggy just gets me so incensed sometimes...I just wanna burn flags & embassies.

  Muslim women in Belgium show the completeness of their integration into European society at rallies for free speech today.
