Brotherhood denounces ‘new Danish insults’

? Egypt’s largest Islamic group, the Muslim Brotherhood, denounced on Saturday what it called “new Danish insults” to Islam a day after word spread about a Web video showing young members of a populist Danish political party mocking the Prophet Muhammad.

The Brotherhood, which enjoys wide popularity in Egypt and the Arab World, urged Muslims to boycott products from Denmark and any other country that would allow such an “insult.”

The story, first reported by the Danish daily newspaper Nyhedsavisen on Friday, came in the aftermath of violent protests after 12 drawings of the Prophet Muhammad were published last year by another Danish newspaper.

Video clips of a drawing contest among the young politicians, in their 20s and 30s, were posted on some Web sites after the annual Aug. 4-6 camp.
