They did comment, they apologized for offense caused but declined to punish the newspaper. The newspaper also apologized, saying that while they maintain the "legality" of the publishing, the judgement of doing so was obviously bad.
Protest and boycott and anger are obviously more than fair.
But burning embassies and ruining the property of people that happen to live next to these embassies and calling for the BEHEADING of editors and proclaiming that another 9/11 is the only correct response to this slight? I am speechless.
So the emotional hurt to people who lost someone in the 7/7 London bombings caused by the placards celebrating the (and calling for more) bombs is thus worth less than the emotional hurt caused by a cartoon published 4 months ago? Perhaps it is just me, but something seems to be more than a bit off here.
I totally haven't looked at it that way. I absolutely do not condone Muslim calls for death to Israel and the annihliation of Jews and I was not aware that the Danish had apologized. That makes it totally different.

The Danish government is protecting its free press by not commenting on the issue.
Much of the arab world has villified jews and infidels in their own publications...you don't see us burning their embassies over that.
Yes, let us rejoice in senseless violence, motivated by religous zeal.
