Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* here's an interesting report about the state of certain Islamic youth-focused groups targeted by UK authorities in the wake of the Danish Cartoons Controversy. As you may recall, unlike in some other western countries, various younger activists in the UK that participated in protests were arrested and tried on charges such as incitement of murder. The thought at the time was that officials in that country were using the opportunity provided by those protests to remove from the public a certain group of leaders. If this article is any indication, the jailing of those key figures doesn't seem to have mortally wounded those organizations.

* I haven't been able to find the time to listen to this episode of Thinking Allowed devoted to the Danish Cartoons, but that doesn't mean you should have to wait for me. (thanks, Andi Watson)

* speaking of which, here's what looks like the BBC's news division with an interview featuring the recently assaulted in his home Kurt Westergaard.

* apparently, Mr. Westergaard's offer of an item for a Haiti-related aid auction was refused by the organizers.
