Islam Group Decries Youth Muhammed Cartoons; Two Teens Now In Hiding

Further developments in reaction to the on-line dissemination of videos depicting political party youth in Denmark drawing caricatures of the Prophet Muhammed:

* The Organization of the Islamic Conference, a 57-nation body, issued a statement condemning the video of the cartoons.

* In "duh" news, Danish business leaders would prefer it if there there were no economic repurcussions from this latest round of fevered reaction.

* It looks like a few Iranian politicians are calling for a boycott of Danish goods.

* A wire report that ran in a few places including the Washington Post says two of the teens have gone into hiding. Ten of the 12 original Danish cartoonists are still in hiding, more than a year later.

* Related: This blogger notes that Garry Trudeau's interview over the weekend with a Santa Barbara paper contained his thoughts on the Danish Cartoons Controversy; the blogger disagrees with Trudeau's take and launches his foot at the Doonesbury cartoonist's nuts in response.
