It's all over the Islamic world, from Africa (Nigeria: politicians burning Danish flags, Niger: people protesting and chanting "Down with Denmark! Down with France!") to the Middle East, to Bangladesh (crowd marched on the Italian embassy but was stopped by the police) and the Phillipines. There's also been over a thousand hacked and defaced Danish websites (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4692518.stm).
I read that Austria's embassy was also burned down somewhere.
1) Where?
2) What's with all these places that aren't related to Denmark being attacked as well? I don't condone violence against them, mind you, but marching on the Italian embassy? Burning down the Austrian embassy? "Down with France"? Are they just stupid?

Here's a newsflash to you people in the Middle East- if you want us to stop treating you like you were stuck in the middle ages, stop acting like you ARE.
Problem being of course that a lot of the people in charge over there actually LIKE the middle ages.
