Syrians have set fire to the Danish embassy in Damascus to protest against the publication of newspaper cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, witnesses say.

The caricatures have sparked outrage in Muslim countries across the world, following their publication in a Danish newspaper last September.

The cartoons have since been published by several other European media.

Some of the cartoons depict Muhammad as a terrorist. Any images of the Prophet are banned under Islamic tradition.

And Denmark is NOT under Islamic law or tradition. Small peaceful and civil country insulted by criminals.

very shameful. I believe the Syrian regime is behind this to distract the world from its crimes in Lebanon and the occupied territories

Them people in the nordic nations are some hard bastards, i think they shouldgive the arabs a taste of violence, set the Syrian embassy in Denmark on fire.

future suicide bombers?

Looks like it.

That is why Global war on terrorism and spreading democracy in the mideast is very important and our survival depends on it

Absolutely true phoenix, I just wish more people would realize this.

Geez...The future suicide bombers. Yeah, looks like they will.
