...I see where your viewpoint is coming from. However, at this point the EU is simply a joint economic agreement, if a situation over a cartoonist offends the muslim world, and its targeting Denmark, economically speaking it would best for a country to distance itself as much as possible from the situation.
It's still fairly self evident that European Countries do not feel much brotherly love towards each other, which is a shame. But Countries like Germany and France are mostly concerned about how many Euro's they can make a profit with, via tourism and trade, and it looks like the muslim world is a much larger cashcow to them than Denmark. Pacifistic Capitalism in European Politics, you don't say?
And you give America a hard time about being greedy.
