Websites remove videos mocking Muhammad
Videos showing anti-immigrant party members mocking the Prophet Muhammad were pulled from websites Monday as two youths seen in the clips were reported in hiding and the Foreign Ministry warned Danes against travelling to much of the Middle East. Muslim clerics from Egypt and Indonesia condemned the video broadcast in Denmark last week showing members of the Danish People’s Party youth wing with cartoons of a camel wearing the head of Muhammad and beer cans for humps. A second drawing placed a turbaned, bearded man next to a plus sign and a bomb, all equalling a mushroom cloud. In a move aimed at defusing tension, the Danish Foreign Ministry met ambassadors from Muslim countries to discuss the video Monday. The clip was removed from the Danish public radio’s website Monday, as well as from the Nyhedsavisen newspaper’s site. (AP, ABC News,October 10, 2006)
