Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update
* a report from a sizable protest in Kabul on Friday. Like most of the weekend's news on this general subject, the issues of the recent republication of a Danish cartoon caricaturing Muhammed and a Dutch film about the Koran are being conflated. In fact, the most-run item mentioning the cartoons this morning is this piece of Internet news, which doesn't relate direction at all. Also, apparently another cultural expression brought into the protests is something called Afghan Star, that country's version of American Idol.
* a tape of maybe the only young British Muslim leader involved in 2006 protests in London not to go to jail is making the rounds. It's not very closely related, but I love the use of the word "scrounger."
* this article analyzes some of the political fallout in Denmark.
