Malaysian Muslims burn Bush effigy during cartoons protest
About 3,000 Malaysian Muslims burned an effigy of US President George Bush and called for an international boycott of Danish products today to protest against the publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed.
The rally outside the headquarters of the fundamentalist Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party in Malaysia’s north-eastern Kelantan state was the biggest so far against the drawings in the mostly-Muslim south-east Asian nation.
