Lego boycott
. . . and much else besides:
Denmark has warned citizens not to go to Saudi Arabia and Gaza gunmen said any Danes or Norwegians who came there would face attack, as Muslim fury mounted over newspaper cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad.UPDATE: There's now a Support Denmark site, while at History News Network Judith Klinghoffer is urging, Buy Danish. I've been meaning to get my daughter one of the Mindstorms kits with an eye to those FIRST Lego League robotics competitions . . .Denmark has defended the Jyllands-Posten newspaper's right to publish the satirical drawings that seemed to portray the prophet as a terrorist and which a Norwegian paper has run too.

I have been hearing of these horrible editorial drawings for awhile now. I cannot find them online, or translations of what they say.
Do you have any idea if they are online in English?

Most of the sites that have (re)posted them are creaking under the load (DOS attacks, too?).
Here's one; can't guarantee how long it will be up.
