Italy remains the fashion leader...

Some say their fashions are to die for.....but surely not 10 people?
Italian cabinet minister Roberto Calderoli resigned on Saturday after wearing a T-shirt printed with cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.

News that he had the shirts made sparked a five-hour riot outside the Italian consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi on Friday. At least 10 people died as police tried to disperse the crowd of more than 1,000 demonstrators.

Police fired live ammunition and tear gas at protesters, who hurled rocks and bottles before storming the compound and setting fire to the building and cars parked nearby.
