You may have missed it, but a couple of weeks ago Denmark also had a diplomatic row with Colombia. A man in Copenhagen is selling FARC t-shirts, which is the typical twerpish sort of thing you would expect a Scandinavian progressive to do. In itself, no big deal; except that this guy actually sends some of the proceeds to the guerrillas, and everyone in Bogota was huffing and puffing about it. I don't remember if anyone ever got round to attacking the Danish Embassy. There's so much other aggravation going on these days that one loses track of who is attacking what.
If the Danes are looking for someone else to piss off for an encore they might want to consider China's "millions of mouth-frothing, Japan-hating, America-hating, Taiwan-hating ultra-nationalist students." They're probably the only other people who could be provoked into rioting by a mere cartoon. The slightest thing sets them off.
