Anti-Danish Cartoon Jihad In Gaza Triggers Attacks Against Christians, Diatribes From Jew-Eating Bunny [Videos]

Say what you will about them - but when the Palestinians decide to incite violence against someone they don't stop at half-measures. After introducing their children to Assud the Jew-eating bunny...

... they turned him on the Danes and their excerable cartoons of blasphemy:

Naturally, their contribution to this global jihad - and we thought it was a fight over territory - isn't limited to cute Jew-eating bunnies:

Vandals set off explosives inside the library of Gaza's YMCA early Friday, severely damaging the one-story building and shaking Gaza's tiny Christian minority. There was no claim of responsibility, but the attack came at a time of protests in the Muslim world against the reproduction of cartoons of Islam's Prophet Muhammad in Danish newspapers. The attack on the YMCA was carried out early Friday. Masked gunmen came to the YMCA compound just after midnight and threatened two guards with pistols, said one of the watchmen, Rizek Ajrami. The attackers then set off what Ajrami described as two homemade explosive devices. One left a small crater in the floor of the library and tore holes into the walls and ceiling. Books were strewn on the floor, covered by chunks of plaster, wicker bookshelves were overturned and wires dangled from the ceiling.

The AP article on this actually uses the phrase "small group of extremists," thereby violating MR's strict rule that ideologues should be minimally aware of the other side's stereotypes and try to avoid actually being them. Regardless, the Danes are reacting to the entire controversy with something less than admirable resolve (h/t: Seth).
