AFP reported: Six youths were arrested in Copenhagen for setting cars and dumpsters ablaze and throwing stones at police in a fifth night of riots in a predominantly immigrant area of the Danish capital, police said Friday. "We've had six arrests so far. They've been charged with throwing stones at police and setting fires to cars and waste containers," Chief Inspector Henrik Olesen of the Copenhagen police told AFP. At least 11 cars were torched in various neighbourhoods of Copenhagen, and 10 others in the nearby town of Kokkedal. On Thursday, 17 youths were arrested for rioting the previous night. "We don't know why they're rioting. I think it's because they're bored. Some people say it's because of the cartoons but that's not my opinion," Olesen said. He was referring to the reprinting of a controversial cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed in 17 Danish newspapers on Wednesday. Protests have flared up again in several Muslim countries including Kuwait and Pakistan following the reprinting. The Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas also condemned the publication... Three people were arrested for planning the murder, including two Tunisians who have lived in Denmark for more than seven years and whom Denmark has decided to expel without a trial.

The Dane was released after questioning, but the two Tunisians were remanded in custody for nearly a month Thursday as authorities decide whether to proceed with plans to deport them without a trial. Critics said the Tunisians were being treated unfairly, and some observers warned resentment over the case could spill over into Copenhagen's immigrant neighborhoods, where youths have been setting fire to cars and trash bins for four consecutive nights. Seventeen people were arrested overnight, police said Thursday. Police pass a fire lit by demonstrators in the streets of Tingbjerg, a part of Copenhagen, on February 14.

Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, secretary-general of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), said the re-printing of the cartoons was ‘a blatant act of incitement to hatred’ and offensive to the world’s 1.3 billion Muslims. However, he urged Muslims living in Denmark to use legal and democratic means to protest their outrage, Saudi daily Arab News reported on Sunday.

Three of the country's biggest dailies were among those that published the cartoon, which depicts the founder of Islam with a bomb in his turban. Three men were arrested on Tuesday in Denmark for planning to murder Kurt Westergaard, 73, a cartoonist at Jyllands-Posten, the paper that originally ran the drawings in September 2005. A number of Danish embassies were attacked and more than 50 people were killed in rioting across the Middle East, Africa and Asia following publication of the cartoons, first in the Danish press and subsequently by numerous media outlets around the world. Ihsanoglu said the OIC would not hesitate to condemn the plotters if their crime is established by Danish authorities, and it was unacceptable that Islam and Muslims were represented as enemies of free speech. The OIC secretary-general said that it was regrettable that the issue had re-emerged at a time when the international community was promoting mutual respect, in order to ‘heal the wounds of the previous unfortunate events’. ____________________________________________________ Yahoo!
