“Well, gee, Leclerc, I guess it’s too darn inconvenient to discuss the fact that Muslims, and not Europeans, have been rioting.”

That’s funny, I didn’t know that Islam was a nation. Or that Europe was, for that matter. I thought that the citizens of Denmark were, well, Danish.

What difference does their religion make? Danish citizens are rioting, it doesn’t matter if their Danish Muslims, Danish Christians, or any other Danish religion. They’re still citizens of Denmark and that makes them Danish!
