At Atlas Shrugs I find this:

The Danes caved? After all of that for nothing? They groveled? The are licking Radical Islamic boot?

Though you are truly beautiful, my dear Atlas, I fear you are a bit too gullible. From Jyllands-Posten:

Ambassador denies apologising for Cartoons

The Danish Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Hans Klingenberg, denies having apologised for the Muhammed cartoons on behalf of the Danish government. The Saudi News Service, SPA, mistakenly reported this earlier today.

The article then goes into blah blag mode. I’ll translate it later when I have posted this. Here comes the interesting part:

He says that SPA’s report of the events does not match what he saw and that he would be a poor diplomat if he did not know of and report the Danish position on the cartoons.

"I deny having apologised on behalf of the Danish government, and I should know, shouldn’t I?" he says.

So there. We don’t apologise to ragheads. That a clear enough statement?

Ok, this all turned out to be a hoax. Apparently, Jens Rohde misquoted the information he got from the meeting he attended. Scroll down for the latest. I have posted an analysis of the whole thing here - who knew what when. I have closed comments (but not trackbacks) on this post and would like it if you post comments to this post at the aforementioned post. So far, the actual facts of the story are as follows:

Four weeks ago, 6-8 Moslem girls showed up at the school of the daughter of one of the cartoonists, asking for "the daughter of the cartoonist who had insulted their prophet". They were turned away at the door.

If you want the whole story, read on.
