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.
    Why is then, that large news papers from all over europe have printed these cartoons? (A french news paper executive got fired because of this too)

    EDIT:

    EDIT2: VVV happy now?

    I was always under the impression a lack of cooperation between national policies and newspaper content is how things are supposed to be.
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
