Gaza City - In the Gaza Strip, thousands of Hamas supporters have protested against the new publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. The angry demonstrators called for an official apology to Muslims and the prosecution of the Danish cartoonist. Earlier today, a Christian library in Gaza City was torched by masked men but it is unclear whether the attack is linked with the cartoon protest. Do Paleos really need a specific reason to attack anymore? How ‘bout we just call it “Spontaneous Seething”?
The original publication of the cartoons two years ago, led to fierce protests and rioting in the Islamic world. Seventeen Danish newspapers decided to republish the cartoons on Wednesday after a plot to murder the cartoonist was brought to light. In Denmark the renewed publication prompted some rioting by ethnic minority youths
