took another look tonight, I mean, it would not be the first story that did not get coverage... I saw some references to cartoons, yes, some arrests, but anything about riots is either in publications I know to be far-right-wing (canadafreepress) or in blogs that in my limited sample seem to be virulently racist. I am still an agnostic. I mean, if there are riots in the second largest city in Denmark would there not be something here? http://copenhagennews.net/
