Europe smoldering

AP is reporting that a Danish court threw out a lawsuit by Muslim organizations against Jyllands-Posten is response to their “evil” depictions of Mohammed last year.

No Pasaran! (via Powerline) has a localized view of the beginnings of riots in Paris last night on the anniversary of last year’s riots. Four buses were torched by gun-wielding “youths” (“youths” is apparently French for Muslims). It looks like Europe couldn’t insulate themselves well enough against Islamofacism.

I’m sure anger about the Danish courts and inaction of the French police will fuel even more riots tonight and through the weekend.

Also via Powerline is this story from Argentina which has decided to issue an arrest warrant for former Iranian president Hashemi Rafsanjani (and seven others) for his role in the planning and approval (apparently by the Iranian government) of the 1994 bombing of a Jewish cultural center in Buenas Aires.

Let’s just see if the Iranians’ new friend and fellow goat-roping aficianado, Hugo Chavez, has any influence over his South American (and oil-rich) neighbor.
