burn in cartoon protest

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Syrians

have set fire to the Norwegian and Danish embassies in Damascus to protest at

the publication of newspaper cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.

Protesters stormed the Danish site amid chants of " God is

great " , before moving on to attack the Norwegian mission.

Police fired tear gas to try to disperse crowds at the second

site, but protesters broke in and set it ablaze.

The cartoons have sparked Muslim outrage across the world,

following their publication in a Danish paper.

One depicts Muhammad as a terrorist. Any images of the Prophet

are banned under Islamic tradition.

However, several European papers reprinted the cartoons, citing

free speech.

The publications have prompted diplomatic sanctions, boycotts

and death threats in some Arab nations.

In other developments:

 

Palestinians

Danish embassy in London

A

Jordanian editor sacked after publishing the cartoons is arrested

Iran

says it should consider abandoning commercial and trade deals with

countries where the cartoons have appeared

The

Vatican says the right to freedom of expression does not imply the right

to offend religious beliefs.
