Oh, those cheeky Danes!

La Mahoma aka Mohammed

Batten down the hatches! Look for the Muslim street to erupt! According to just about everybody (LGF, JAWA, Gates of Vienna et al.) a group of Danes burned Mohammed in effigy at their midsummer's festival - traditionally a witch would be used. Gates of Vienna is now confirming that a vid has been made. Stay tuned! Until then I thought you might like to peruse some images of Mohammed at the Mohammed Image Archive.. Learn about another festival in Spain that burns mohammed in effigy - or used to before they became so totally dhimmi:

Certain towns in southern Spain hold an annual festival called "Moros y Cristianos" ("Moors and Christians"), which celebrates the Reconquista -- the recapture of the Iberian Peninsula by Christian Spaniards from the Muslim colonizers who had invaded centuries earlier. In some locales, at the climax of the festival, townspeople burn Mohammed in effigy. The Mohammed figure, called La Mahoma, is usually bigger than life-size and in full costume. The picture here shows La Mahoma from the 1920 Moros y Cristianos festival in the town of Biar, near Alicante. But according to this site, some of the villages are planning to tone down their celebrations this year by not having La Mahoma at all. And artists in the city of Valencia are now afraid to make sculptures that mock Mohammed in their annual satirical Fallas festival.
Gotta love those Danes. Sammenhold baby.
