Just incase people missed it, the newspaper which published the cartoons DID apologize (although perhaps a bit too late), they were printed Sept. 30th 2005 and the excitement just started recently when different priests returned to their respective countries and "fueled" the muslim extremists. The muslims wanted an apology from the Danish Prime Minister and even the Queen of Denmark, this is against our laws and against the concept of free speach so it cannot take place. 12 pictures were printed in the Danish newspaper, and 3 extra were circulated by radical muslims (more offensive ones, eg. Mohammed having intercourse with a dog). This is when the flag burning began and other newspapers joined in to protect freedom of speech. The sms circulating with the rumor of burning of Qur'ans is also suspected to be circulated by either radical muslims or Danish national-socialists (Nazi's, a very very small percentage of our population). This lead to the burning of embassies.
What the muslims got was an apology from the PRIVATE ORGANIZATION which showed them disrespect, I highly doubt that any Danes intended for this situation to escalate and the large majority disagree with the decision to print such religiously offensive cartoons. There is nothing to do but move on. You will not get an official apology from a state official because it is against the way our society works.
