Now there's the outrage...
By Rasha ElassSomething how there's no outrage for beheadings; no outrage for killing hundreds of innocents in suicide bombings, no outrage for flying airliners into buildings.
DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Furious Syrians set fire to the Danish and Norwegian embassies on Saturday as protests over cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad showed no signs of abating despite calls for calm.
Oil giant Iran, already embroiled in a dispute with the West over its nuclear programme, said it was reviewing trade ties with countries that have published such caricatures.
Chanting "God is Greatest", thousands of protesters stormed the Danish embassy, burned the Danish flag and replaced it with a flag reading "No God but Allah, Mohammad is His Prophet". They set fires which badly damaged the building before being put out.
No one was hurt as the embassy was closed at the time.
Demonstrators also set the Norwegian embassy ablaze. It was brought under control by firefighters.
But draw a picture of Muhammed? Watch out!!!
