Re: Why taunt? (none / 1)
Politiken, by the way, reports today that Flemming Rose of JP and a certain Imam Abu Laban debated the issue on BBC's Hard talk for the first time. There has been a monumental failure of dialogue within Denmark if it takes four months and anti-EU turmoil in the middle east for the protagonists to meet in the BBC.

That is truly shocking.

Also, thanks for pointing out the timeline.  It's certainly important to note that the Danish penal code forbids "mocking and deriding" a religious faith, and that some Muslim groups tried to pursue the matter through legal avenues before turning to protests.  I have not seen either of those facts reported in any of the news coverage on this.
