Denmark faces international boycott over Muslim cartoons

The Times reports:
DENMARK faced the full fury of the Muslim world yesterday as a long-simmering row over newspaper cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad finally erupted.

There were street demonstrations and flag-burnings in the Middle East. Libya joined Saudi Arabia in withdrawing its ambassador from Copenhagen. Islamic governments and organisations, including the Muslim Council of Britain, issued denunciations and a boycott of Danish goods took hold across the Muslim world.
As we've said before free speech isn't for everyone.Some Muslims are not for it.Some tenured professors in America aren't for it either.
