The Prime Minister of Denmark and the madman President of Iran agree: Danish kids must not mock Mohammed.

That’s The Prophet Mohammed, by the way, as al-Reuters is scrupulously careful to point out each time they use the name.

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen denounced members of the anti-immigrant Danish Peoples’ Party (DPP) youth wing on Sunday for drawing humiliating cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad.

In Tehran, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said those who insulted the Prophet were “low life” devoid of human values, the student news agency ISNA reported.

The two leaders’ condemnations followed Danish state TV’s airing on Friday of amateur video footage showing members of the DPP youth wing at a summer camp in August, drinking, singing and taking part in a competition to draw images mocking the Prophet.

“I strongly condemn the behavior of members of the youth wing of the Danish Peoples’ Party,” Rasmussen told Ritzau news agency. “It is unacceptable behavior by a small group of young people. Their tasteless behavior in no way represents the way the Danish people or young Danish people view Muslims or Islam,” Rasmussen said.

Ahmadinejad, referring to the cartoons shown on Danish television, told a cabinet meeting “Those who make these insults are low life, lost, without human values…,” ISNA said.

“Such measures reveal the depth of weakness and failure of the leaders of liberalism,” Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying.
