Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* Flemming Rose played second in a debate of Europe failing its Muslim population, an event described here. That article goes on to lambaste young British Muslims for their less than inspiring take on the event and, according to the writer, life in general. It's interesting to note because the reaction to the Danish Cartoons Controversy was very different in the UK in that there were high-profile arrests and convictions of those participating in protests. I have to imagine that has had an effect on that community's response.

* here's an example of severe and to my eye not entirely convincing rhetoric regarding Muslim dangers to the US that gathers strength by listing some of the problems and I imagine genuinely lousy situations that European countries have applied. The Danish Cartoons Controversy reference is flat-out false: the re-publication of the imagery when cartoonist Kurt Westergaard was initially targeted by assassins is one such re-publication of that imagery.

* the case against David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Rana just became a bit more complicated, as there's now a press to shield some of the evidence from early disclosure in order to protect the information-gathering capacity that resulted in that evidence. Rana's attorneys remain aggressive in drawing distinction between their man and Headley.
