Grey - 'the Danes' as in a Danish cartoonist, a Danish editor, a Danish-owned newspaper, Danish newsagents, and Danish readers. It just saved a bit of time, in the context of the discussion, to shorthand it into 'the Danes' and save repetition.

I could say that 'it's Norway's' fault that the recent riots have occurred, since there wasn't a great uprising in September when the 12 cartoons were published in Denmark. It's the recent decision by the Norge magazine, Magazinet, to republish them that's sparked the attacks on both countries' embassies in some countries, the riots, the damage, the withdrawal of diplomatic relations, the ruin of many Danish and Norwegian businesses, and the statement by Denmark that Danes should avoid any 'unnecessary' travel to 13 Muslim countries. Meanwhile, after an initial boiling-up, the Danish Consulate in Bahrain has deemed itself very satisfied as to its, and its nationals', safety. The Foreign Ministry is keeping watch over the safety of nationals there, and it appears that this most liberal of Gulf states has managed to keep a lid on things after an initial outburst.

I'm slightly inclined to say that with a fortune in revenue from its F1 circuit about to pour in, it can ill afford to frighten off the foreigners!

[QUOTE="krizon, post: 2070652, member: 64950"] Grey - 'the Danes' as in a Danish cartoonist, a Danish editor, a Danish-owned newspaper, Danish newsagents, and Danish readers. It just saved a bit of time, in the context of the discussion, to shorthand it into 'the Danes' and save repetition. I could say that 'it's Norway's' fault that the recent riots have occurred, since there wasn't a great uprising in September when the 12 cartoons were published in Denmark. It's the recent decision by the Norge magazine, Magazinet, to republish them that's sparked the attacks on both countries' embassies in some countries, the riots, the damage, the withdrawal of diplomatic relations, the ruin of many Danish and Norwegian businesses, and the statement by Denmark that Danes should avoid any 'unnecessary' travel to 13 Muslim countries. Meanwhile, after an initial boiling-up, the Danish Consulate in Bahrain has deemed itself very satisfied as to its, and its nationals', safety. The Foreign Ministry is keeping watch over the safety of nationals there, and it appears that this most liberal of Gulf states has managed to keep a lid on things after an initial outburst.
