About 800 members of the self-described “Muslim Group of Peace” protested outside the Danish Embassy in Thailand today.
MySinchew reported:

About 800 Thai Muslims protested outside Denmark’s embassy Wednesday (12 Mar) against Danish newspapers’ reprinting of a cartoon perceived as insulting to Islam.

Members of an organization called the Muslim Group of Peace demonstrated peacefully outside the Bangkok embassy for about two hours and called on all Thai Muslims to boycott Danish products.

The group condemned the “villainous behavior” of the newspapers and criticized Denmark’s government for failing to stop the publishing of the cartoon, according to a written statement.
