The Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood sees another chance to flex their muscles in the latest Danish cartoon brouhaha, demanding apologies and calling for boycotts and days of rage: Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood denounces what it calls ‘new Danish insults’ to Islam. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

This sort of madness is becoming more commonplace because it clearly gets results. Each time they scream and threaten, a few more Westerners are scared into silence—and the Western media takes the side of the Muslim Brotherhood.

CAIRO, Egypt - Egypt’s largest Islamic group, the Muslim Brotherhood, on Saturday denounced what it called “new Danish insults” to Islam and urged the world to boycott countries that allow offenses to all religions.

The Brotherhood’s condemnation came a day after word spread about a Web video showing young members of a populist Danish political party mocking Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. The video showed people in their 20s and 30s participating in a drawing contest at a summer camp for the Danish People’s Party Youth last August. They appeared to have been drinking alcohol.

The footage shows a woman presenting a drawing of a camel and saying it has “the head of Muhammad” and beer bottles as humps. The group laughs as the woman, who was not identified, explained the drawing.

“Muslims are shocked by this new Danish insult,” the Muslim Brotherhood said in a statement issued Saturday. It described the drawing as “the ugliest for God’s most honorable human being, peace be upon him.”

Kenneth Christensen, chairman of the Danish People’s Party Youth — known for its anti-immigration stance — refused to apologize Friday for the actions of its members, but acknowledged they were problematic. “It is bad style because it overshadows our political line,” Christensen said. But he added that he believed it was “OK to poke fun at Muhammad, Jesus or Bill Clinton.”

The Brotherhood, which enjoys wide popularity in Egypt and across the Arab World, urged Muslims on Saturday to boycott products from Denmark and any other country that would allow such an “insult.” It also called on Muslims to “express denouncement through peaceful means, by demonstrations and protests.”

The drawings depicted in the video, like the pope’s comments about Islam earlier this month and Danish cartoons mocking Muhammad last year, were likely to provoke Muslims and could trigger a new round of angry demonstrations all around the world.

“The repetition of such actions is evidence of the depth of enmity carried by certain sectors in the West toward Islam and the prophet,” the Brotherhood statement said.
