Syria: Muslim Protestors Torch Danish, Norwegian Embassies
Islam, religion of torched embassies: Syria: Danish embassy set ablaze over cartoons
Thousands protested in Israel and all over the world Saturday against the Prophet Muhammad cartoons published in a Danish newspaper.
That's right, Israeli Muslims are still Muslim.
In Syria outraged demonstrators stormed the Danish Embassy in Damascus and set fire to the building in protest of offensive caricatures of Islam's prophet. Thick, black smoke was still rising from the three-story building as firefighters struggled tried to put out the flames.The protest started out peacefully but as anger escalated, people broke through police barriers and used the concrete barricades protecting the embassy as ladders to climb inside the building and set it on fire. "With our blood and souls we defend you, O Prophet of God," They chanted.
Mohammad, it should be noted, has been dead for over 1,300 years.
Some removed the Danish flag and replaced it with a green flag printed with the words "There is no god but God and Muhammad is the messenger of God." The building also houses the embassies of Chile and Sweden.Later it was reported that the Norwegian embassy was also set ablaze.
It seems Norway's Supreme Act of Appeasement did not work out as hoped.
