Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* protests continue in Yemen, Pakistan, Denmark and most heavily it looks like Afghanistan. The protests are often tied into other, similar issues. Part of the protests in Afghanistan are tied into demands that Dutch and Danish troops leave that country.

* the Christian Science Monitor reports on the more peaceful course of action pursued by Professor Muhammad Sediq Afghan.

* a prominent Ayatollah in Iran urges that ties with Denmark be broken.

* here is some political context for the jailing then freeing of a newspaper editor in Belarus, ostensibly for republishing the Danish cartoons. It's not any different than what you could reverse-logic out of earlier articles.

* I'm not sure how closely it applies, but I love the kick of the headline here.

* in case you were behind on how all of this stuff became news again.
