Perplexed over why Muslim teens are rioting

Police could give no reason, but said unusually mild weather and the closure of schools for a winter break might have contributed.

Unusually mild weather? All I can do is quote Zoolander's Mugatu, "Am I taking crazy pills?"

Now that the police have weighed in (I guess now we know why Scotland Yard is not located in Denmark?), let's see what the Danish social workers have to say?

Social workers said an alleged plot to kill a Danish cartoonist for his drawing two years ago of the Prophet Mohammad might have fuelled the riots.

Excuse me? An alleged plot to kill a Danish cartoonist has caused the riots?

Perhaps in the next Reuters article we can hear from a Danish chemist to explain the fires ripping through Copenhagen for the past 7 nights.

COPENHAGEN (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.

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.

Social workers said an alleged plot to kill a Danish cartoonist for his drawing two years ago of the Prophet Mohammad might have fuelled the riots. Danish newspapers reprinted the cartoon on Wednesday in protest against the plot.
