Danish Embassy in Syrian capital of Damascus set on fire

The "religion of peace" continues to illustrate to the world the opposite.

DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Hundreds of Syrian demonstrators set the Danish embassy on fire on Saturday to protest the printing by a Danish newspaper of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad, a Reuters witness said.

The fire badly damaged the embassy's building. Protestors also threw stones at the building shattering its windows.

2 It's not just the Danish embassy. The Norweigian embassy was also torched.

3 Ok Danes, youÂ’re turn, burn the Syrian embassy to the ground. Oh, I forgot, youÂ’re a country of laws and rights. Be careful you dont loose them.
