STORYLINE
Iranian protestors hurled petrol bombs at the Danish Embassy in Tehran on Tuesday, several days after the emergence of a video of Danes poking fun at Islam's Prophet Muhammad during a summer camp for members of a populist political party.
The video, about which stories were published by Danish media on Friday, shows members of the Danish People's Party Youth who had taken part in a drawing competition.
Videos of the small gathering of men and women in their 20s and 30s were posted online in Denmark last week, drawing criticism and condemnation from Muslim leaders in Egypt and Indonesia.
In the amateur video, members of the party's youth wing held a drawing contest in August and showed off two pictures, including one showing a camel with the head of Muhammad and beer cans for humps.
In the short video, the people laughed as a woman, who was not identified, explained her drawing.
In the video, a short portion of which was aired briefly on Danish broadcaster TV2, the people appeared to have been drinking.
A second clip showed a man holding up another drawing, crudely done on a piece of paper, showing a bearded man wearing a turban next to a plus sign and a bomb that equals a nuclear mushroom cloud.
The Danish People's Party, of which DFU is the youth wing, advocates tighter anti-immigration controls in Denmark, is allied with the centre-right coalition that Fogh Rasmussen presides over.
The party holds no government positions.
The episode comes in the aftermath of an international crisis and deadly Muslim protests over the printing in September 2005 of 12 cartoons portraying Muhammad in Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten.
Four months later, they were reprinted in a range of Western media, triggering massive protests from Morocco to Indonesia.
Some Islamic leaders called for the cartoonists to be killed as rioters attacked Danish embassies in Muslim countries including Iran, Syria, Lebanon and Indonesia.
Islamic law is interpreted to forbid any depiction of the prophet for fear it could lead to idolatry.
Jyllands-Posten printed the drawings saying it was challenging a perceived self-censorship among artists dealing with Islamic issues.
They later were reprinted by dozens of newspapers and Web sites in Europe and elsewhere.
