This article has an interesting turn of phrase in it imo. That of the context of a "muslim nation". Especially since there is no such thing AS a muslim nation. The idea being put forward that the muslim religion constitutes a unified political entity is pretty ominous. It also forces me to take the muslim religion as an entity to be opposed.

Muslim clerics in Denmark are demanding an apology from the Danish government: Clerics demand cartoon apology. (Hat tip: Gabriela.)
And they’re also demanding that Danish and European laws be changed to criminalize everything that offends them.
Quote:
“We feel there are forces of extremism which are aiming to light fires and transform Denmark from a peaceful country to a country which will suffer from conflicts,” said Amr Khaled, an Egyptian preacher known for his youthful style and his sermons applying Islam to day-to-day modern life. ...
“We request an official apology from your government to the Muslim nation and to the Muslims in Denmark,” said Tariq al-Suweidan, an Islamic scholar from Kuwait. He also demanded that the European Union enact a law “that forbids the insult to religious figures.” ...
“We don’t agree on burning flags ... or attacks on embassies, BUT we are not willing to sit and do nothing,” al-Suweidan said, defending the boycott. “We’re sending a very strong message. If the Danish people do something about it, the boycott will stop.”
