It’s a day of Islamic rage, all over Europe. Appeasement has gotten Europe nothing—no good will, no forgiveness, only more rage—but Tony Blair is still at it: Muslims rally in Europe as worldwide cartoon protests rage on.

PARIS (AFP) - Muslims are set to rally across Europe to vent their anger over satirical images of the Prophet Mohammed, a day after Denmark’s ambassador to Syria temporarily left the country over security fears.

In the west German city of Duesseldorf several hundred Muslims joined a protest march to the Danish consulate but police did not expect any violence.

Protest rallies were also planned in Berlin and other German cities; Paris and Strasbourg in France, and in Amsterdam.

In Britain where demonstrations were due to start in London at 1300 GMT Saturday, Prime Minister Tony Blair said Friday he regretted the offense caused to Muslims by the caricatures reprinted by European papers, but added that nothing justified the violent backlash.

It’s getting very depressing to see so many Western leaders who lack the courage to defend the core values of our civilization.

It has never mattered to me that thirty million people might think I'm wrong. The number of people who thought Hitler was right did not make him right... Why do you necessarily have to be wrong jus because a few million people think you are? -- Why they don't play my stuff on the radio
