Instapundit has photos of the pro-Denmark gathering at the Danish Embassy convened by journalist Christopher Hitchens this afternoon. Looks like there was a great turnout.

Lovely photo spread over at Vital Perspective.

Blogger Greg Tinti was also there with camera and reports:

The mood of the event was unbelievably positive and all the signs and banners were nothing but respectful. People came to express their solidarity with Denmark and support free speech and that's exactly what they did. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and met some great people too.

Greg estimates there were about 200 people and a lot of media. A few of his photos:

Bill Kristol was there.

Lots more.

Wonkette's David Lat has more pics...and requisite snark.

Read my tagline! If you can't read Danish, it roughly translates to "Stand by Denmark!:)

I'm hoisting a Carlsberg Elephant to show solidarity with the Danes.

Thanks for the thread.

FOX News just had a few minutes of reporting on the assembly. They said about 150 people came. They also gave some info on what the Danes have done supporting the WOT. According to FOX, per capital, they are the most generous nation in the world. They even sent 10 water purifiers to N.O. after Katrina.

Hitchens is quite a draw, and deservedly so. I saw him recently in New York facing off against Playthell Benjamin at Cooper Union. It was supposed to be a debate about the Iraq War, but it turned into the usual loud, almost incoherent Bush bashing from one side and some well-reasoned, well-stated comments from Hitchens, so there was no real debate per se. When the hatemongers came to the mike during the Q&A I left.

Thank you all who attended this to support the Danes.

I'm sure I saw Evan Coyne Maloney in the crowd.

we need a few bumps to attract the Freepers as they return from the WRMC tonight!

This Dane thanks you all. :0)

VERY COOL!

In Copenhagen today. Seen two rallies in the city centre. One by Danes apologising to the Muslims for the Cartoons. It was quite funny, there can have been no more than 50 people there! Kind of like saying "We 50 people wearing silly clothes who have chosen to come would really like you to think we represent the x million Danes who haven't". And then there was a big Muslim shouting thing later on attended by a couple of hundred. Had no idea what they were saying but could make out the word 'Jihad'. Hot air.

Denmark is a great place. Recomend everyone visits at least once!

Do you suppose the Muzzies would object to this unique portrayal of old Mo?

It's right there in the middle of the right hand tower. You have to admit that it's one fancy turban he's got on.
