No pizza for French, Germans; jail for owner July 13, 2005 COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- A Danish pizzeria owner was jailed Tuesday for refusing to serve French and German tourists in protest of their countries' opposition to the U.S.-led war in Iraq. A Danish court found Aage Bjerre guilty of discrimination and fined him $900. Bjerre refused to pay, and will serve an eight-day sentence. ''Eight days is a small price to pay when American soldiers go to Iraq and risk their limbs and lives,'' he said by telephone. suntimes.com Bjerre received hundreds of fan letters from the United States but had to sell the pizzeria after vandalism and a large drop in sales.
