I wrote below about what I thought was another case of wingnut agit-prop but I was mistaken. There were indeed riots in Denmark as northern seer claimed. It is still not clear, however, that radical Muslims are behind the riots.

COPENHAGEN, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Bands of youths set fire to cars, buses and schools in Denmark on Saturday, the seventh night of rioting and vandalism in the capital Copenhagen and other Danish cities, police said on Sunday.Four youths were arrested in the capital for suspected arson and at least 24 fires were reported across the country. Several youths were detained in Denmark's second city Aarhus in Jutland, and in Odense on Funen island.
Hundreds of cars and a number of schools have been vandalised or burned in the past week. Police could give no reason, but said unusually mild weather and the closure of schools for a winter break might have contributed. Authorities have arrested dozens of youths, predominantly with immigrant backgrounds.
