Mob mentality. What can I say? It's like that where ever there are angry mobs. There are no cool heads that can sit and think before they act.
But that is human nature. I've figured out a formula for the intelligence of angry mobs:-
aIQ = Average IQ of individuals in the mob
n = Number of individuals
x = How angry a mob is
mIQ = Angry mob's collective IQ
So it goes like this:
(aIQ)
------- = (mIQ)
n(x)
As you can see, the angrier and the larger the mob, the stupider it is. This applies to everyone regardless of race, religion, nationality and favourite colour (ok, I'm not sure about that last bit)

I'd be pretty sorry, too! That would also explain why that never went international.
Anyone know of a Danish to English web translator like Babelfish? In other words, free?

Rohde regret remarks about cartoonists daughter.
Rightwing political chairman »is sorry«, of which he has misunderstood a threat to the daughter of a Muhammed-cartoonist. His remark about the threat against the daughter, from 12 muslim men, has been called a »lie« from the cartoonist himself.
By Lea Wind-Friis,
Freely translated by Ulvetann
Jens Rohde regrets. Deeply.
The occasion is, that he did not only communicate facts from a confidential meeting, they were wrong too. "I regret deeply, of which i've misunderstood the facts, I got at this meeting. And i regret even more, of which i've misunderstood the intention of the meeting. I have, at no time, intended to turn the meeting into something, to take political advantage of, or harm the cartoonist(s). On the contraire", says Jens Rohde to Ritzau.
The misunderstanding grew, when Jens Rohde to 'TV-avisen' newsreport on TV telling, that muslim men had seeked out a daughter of one of the cartoonists at school, at break.
The 12 men were schoolgirls
Neither the cartoonist, of which daughter in question, nor the 'Danish Cartoonists' chairman Claus Seidel, can recognize this info. Jens Rohde has explained, that he thursday shared to a meeting with Claus Seidel, and that he was told about the 12 cartoonists situation, among other things, he mentioned this school-episode.
According to the cartoonist himself, there were no mentioning of muslim men, but muslim girls. They're 10-11 years old, and there were most six - eight of them. And what has been depicted as an almost planned action incited by the Muhammed-cartoons, were instead a brawl from years back, between the pupils of two schools. Long before any cartoon was even thought of, discloses the cartoonist to 'JyllandsPosten'.
Rohde accused to take advantage
Danish Journalistunions chairman, Mogens Blicher Bjerregaard, has accused Jens Rohde to take political advantage, on behalf of the cartoonists, in this Muhammed-case.
"One of the factual errors, is amongst other things the picture of 12 muslim men. This is all distorted and out of ratio", says Mogens Blicher Bjerregaard to Ritzau.
Jens Rohde has also stated, that he did not know, that the facts he got at the meeting, were confidential. "I interpreted a desire from the cartoonists, that could only there be one politician, that would not omit, but make clear towards the inhabitants, what situation the cartoonist families face.
– because they know that they can't do so themselves. I get various facts and stories, and wanted only to make clear, that vi have some cartoonists, that gets their whole life turned upside down, because they exercise their vocation, and becomes exposed to threats. I tried in no way to sell a story", says Jens Rohde.
PET (Police Intelligence) recommend calm round cartoonists
However, according to Claus Seidel, the political chairman ought to have known, that the meeting was confidential. "It wasn't said, however it was implicit. The whole intention about the meeting was, that the police intelligence for six month's had requested us, to not express ourselves regarding the cicumstances. he should have had enough political 'gefühl'
to understand this. Therefore I am highly disappointed to, that he lashes out and refer to a confidential meeting", says the cartoonists chairman.
The rightwing political chairman claims, that he only wanted to help the cartoonists (and their families), that for six months, has been under police protection.

The Russian secret services provoked the "caricature scandal"
The Russian secret services provoked the "caricature scandal", Chechen Press said, quoting a former colonel of FSB of Russia Alexander Litvinenko who nowadays lives in England as the political refugee. According to him the editor of the culture department of Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, Flemming Rose, who was the initiator of the publication of blasphemous caricatures of Muhammad has secretly left Denmark and gone to Russia where he worked previously as a correspondent for Jyllands-Posten and where he has relatives. Litvinenko said that Flemming Rose is closely connected to the Russian special services. The Danish journalist is married to the daughter of the general of KGB (FSB), that, in Litvinenko's opinion, unequivocally bears witness that Rose has earned the full trust of Russian special services and that Rose has for a long time been s the secret agent of KGB - FSB.

It is safe to say that Flemming Rose, who repeatedly visited the Chechen Republic even though is was a "prohibited area" for all western journalists, would not have be able to do so if the FSB of Russia was not fully convinced of his loyalty to the Kremlin.
