AP via Yahoo News: COPENHAGEN, Denmark - The Little Mermaid statue in Denmark's capital was found draped in a Muslim dress and head scarf Sunday morning. Police removed the clothing after a telephone caller reported it, spokesman Jorgen Thomsen said.The statue sculpted in tribute to author Hans Christian Andersen draws about 1 million visitors a year and is targeted occasionally by vandals. On Tuesday, the statue's face, left arm and lap were found doused with red paint.
In 2004, someone put a burqa, the head-to-toe Islamic robe, on the statue, along with a sign questioning Turkey's bid to join the European Union.
Copper in a Burqa
It’s a good thing this was done. Everyone knows that Muslim males have no self control. If a Muslim had injured his er uh self trying to penetrate this mermaid? It would of course be the copper mermaid's fault for leaving those perky copper nipples out in the open like that.

Is it not the Islamists who are against Turkish EU membership?
I'm not sure who did it. If it was done to protest Islamic influence then it was pretty deft.
If it was by an Islamists it's pretty typical.

This was done by a protestor and it was fracking brilliant.
Three... no... three hundred cheers to the "perp" or perps.
