Have you guys seen
this story?
A Danish newspaper printed several cartoons of Mohammed last September and
this has led to complaints to the UN, death threats, and boycotts of Danish
goods in some Arab nations

It’s mostly a clash between the extremists. Here in Norway, a fundamental
Christian newspaper, which nobody had heard about before this issue came
up, reprinted the pictures. And this is taken up by similar guys on the
Muslim side, who are currently burning Norwegian and Danish flags.
To add another perspective to the flag burning, the Scandinavian flags
have one thing in common, the Christian cross which covers the whole of
the flag. (Which is somewhat of an irony, since the Christian belief is
getting pretty uncommon over here. The society is very secular, compared
with, e.g., the US.)
