The difference between them and us

As a tongue-in-cheek gesture, Egypt paper Al Multaga Dawli prints a manipulated image of the Royal Danish Queen Margrethe II as a belly-dancer. This is probably the worst mockering of danes imaginable. A royal insult used to carry the death sentence in Denmark. However, that was in the Middle Ages.

I hardly doubt any Danes will boycot Egyptian products because of this, burn their flag in the streets or attack their embassy in Copenhagen. If they do, I promise to update the map. If anything, danes will just shrug their shoulders. That's the difference between them and us.
