Youth Muhammed Cartoons Lead to Travel Warnings, Denouncements

As some expected, it was the televised airings of Muhammed caricatures that have sparked a minor revival on issues surrounding last year's Danish Cartoons Controversy. But instead of the impending broadcast of the original images in a Norwegian documentary, it's amateur footage on Danish state TV showing youth members of the anti-immigrant Danish People's Party competing to draw mocking images at a summer camp last August that has people set on edge. Earlier today Denmark's foreign ministry asked Danish citizens to refrain from traveling to Israel, the West Bank, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey.

Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen was quick to condemn the activity, as did Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
