Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* The National Library in Denmark has announced plans to archive the original Muhammed cartoons that sparked worldwide riots, political turmoil and economic boycotts in the first few months of 2006. They will not be made available to the public for at least 10 years. The piece in the Guardian speaks to a moderate imam, the group that spearheaded protests in Denmark, and a Syrian ambassador with not unexpected but not alarming results.

* Arla Foods, perhaps Denmark's most high-profile major corporation and a target for boycotts in the period after the publication of the Danish cartoons, has recovered 95 percent of lost business and intends to have that figure up to 100 percent when figures are released for the end of 2007, this article says.
