hmmm if you search "danish riots" on Google this thread is the number one hit. If you search Google News you get a lot of blogs and a single column at the Chicago Sun-Times. As low as my opinion of mainstream media might be, I find it hard to believe that there are riots in Denmark and television is not all over it. They love riots. Riots cause fires. Fires make great television.
I am skeptical, sorry.
