There were also large scale riots and acts of vandalism against the Danish and other Western embassies.

In Saudi Arabia, all danish goods (most of them milky) were thrown to the garbage. They stopped all commercial relationships with Denmark. I guess it's impossible to find a Lego there.

The anti-Danish sentiment did, of course, include the call to rebrand Danish pastries as "Roses of Mohammed".
