Danish cartoons incite violent protests

Despite world leaders calling for calm, violent protests have occurred all across Asian and middle eastern countries over cartoons published in Danish newspapers depicting the prophet Mohammed wearing a turban shaped like a bomb. Iranian commerce minister massoud mirkazemi has said all trading with Denmark will be cut.
Protestors clashed with authorities as Danish embassies were attacked and petrol bombed, with arrests already being made and further violence looks set to continue.

Chanting "God is Greatest" and "Death to America" some 1,000 people rammed the metal gate to the embassy, which sits behind a high wall in northern Tehran. Police drove them back with teargas and arrested some, a Reuters correspondent said. Reuters
