COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - A year after a Danish paper published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad that sparked violent protests worldwide, more Danes have a negative opinion of Islam -- but Muslims say Danes have become more friendly. 

A recent Catinet poll showed that almost one quarter of Danes were more negative toward Muslims and Islam now than before the cartoons were published, while less than 3 percent were more positive. Almost 47 percent supported the publication of the drawings, while 38 percent said it was wrong.
