This is most unfortunate, and I condemn it unambiguously and without reservation.

Copenhagen - Unknown assailants defiled the Muslim section of a cemetery near the Danish town of Esbjerg over the weekend, Radio DR reported on Sunday.

Some 25 grave sites were completely destroyed as the attackers smashed or overturned gravestones and trashed plants, DR reported.

Graves in the Christian part of the cemetery remained untouched.

Police said that there was no indication of the attackers' motives or where they came from.

Public life in Denmark has been dominated in recent weeks by the worldwide protests by Muslims over caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed that were originally published in the country's Jyllands Posten newspaper last September.

Whoever did this defiles the cause of freedom as practiced in the West -- by behaving in a barbaric manner no different than a member of the Religion of Barbarism.
