The boycott is working, but I still don't feel it's gone far enough.... it shouldn't stop, at least not yet. Danes are involved in a lot more than just dairy products....
I strongly believe this is going to be a very long term boycott, the level of racism in Denmark against Muslim is very high at all levels in the Dane society. And I've never heard a more pathetic appology in my life, I wouldn't even call it an appology. The newspaper only added further insult with its half hearted appology. The newspaper should have clearly stated that their "sole" intention was to insult Muslim and further add to the racial divide between Danes and Muslim in Denmark. I should also add that "79% of the Danish population believe that no apology for the cartoons in Jyllands-Posten is due." http://www.arlafoods.com/APPL/HJ/HJ202CO...060028F056 NorWakerley firm hit by local boycott The Danish-Swedish dairy giant Arla Foods says its sales in the Middle East have plummeted to zero as a result of a row over cartoons published in Denmark. The firms said it had to lay off 100 people because of the fall in demand. The row began when a Danish newspaper published a series of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, some of them depicting him as a terrorist. Anger against Denmark is continuing to grow across the Middle East, despite an apology offered by the newspaper. Arla Foods, one of Europe's biggest dairy companies, is being hardest hit by a boycott of Danish products across the region. The company has annual sales of $480m there. "Our sales in the Middle East have come to a complete stop - in all countries in the region," company spokeswoman Astrid Gade Niels told the BBC. No government apology At the weekend, Arla placed adverts in Middle-Eastern newspapers to try to dissociate itself from the caricatures. The cartoons sparked outrage in the Muslim world, where depictions of the Prophet Muhammad or Allah are banned. On Monday the newspaper that published the caricatures, Jyllands-Posten, said: "These cartoons were not in violation of Danish law but have irrefutably offended many Muslims, and for that we apologise." The Danish Prime Minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, welcomed the apology - but again defended the freedom of the press. "The Danish government cannot apologise on behalf of a Danish newspaper... Independent media are not edited by the government," he said. Besides boycotts, the backlash has also included diplomatic sanctions and militant threats. The Danish foreign ministry advised against non-essential travel to Saudi localia and urged Danes to be cautious in other Muslim countries. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4666298.stm

May the wrath of God bear upon those bastards for their blasphemy...
God is Great and He will give us justice. Muslims will not keep silent. Our dignity has been taken away from us time and time again, we have gone from being the envy of the planet years ago to being marionettes today.... No more! May this boycvott last, may they feel our anger.... They will RESPECT US.

Of all the boycotts I've read about, it's only butter, cheese and other dairy products that are affected...!!
Is this boycott of food enough? The insults against the Prophet would in no way affect him or his message. The Prophet was protect by God until he spread his message the world over. The Danish paper didn't attack the Prophet, it attacked Muslims dignity as a whole and it is a must to take futher action to protect the dignity of Muslims in future. It's curious how when our dignity is offended our first reaction is to think about our stomachs??!! If boycotting butter is all that becomes of this insult, then further riWakerleyule of us (not the Prophet) in cartoons is in order. The people that stopped eating butter when their dignity was offended..! What is needed is stronger action that affects Denmarks policies toward Muslims. A duel respect of each others belief and faith. Neither should trample of the others dignity. To be honest, I cannot see Denmarks Government taking any serious action on their part... It's time Muslims looked beyond their "stomacks" for other Danish products to Boycott..... (I've made it eaiser for you all by posting a list of Danish Products)

yshimy Wrote:"A Danish company said two of its workers were assaulted in Mecca." Yshimy, I'm amazed at your narrow mindedness! So you say that a muslim would never attack another muslim? Yeah right OK, it's happened time and time again and don't automatically assume things will be a fabrication. I think you look at the world through rose tinted glasses. And my point about the Iraqi guys, who ever they are is that they're inciting violence against the Danes - that was my only point! After several people were saying that it would all be peaceful! It doesn't matter where they are, they're advocating and promoting the attacks on them - which is not on!

According to news wires this morning the Danish offices of the newspaper were evacuated last night due to a bomb threat - great so now another fantastic image for you to think about! This does nothing to undo the image that many muslims when faced with something they don't like, are violent and aggressive!
Once again - well done!

The west is decant and corrupt. If its the sabre that they understand, then in their belly the sabre will go.

Brisbane,
Exactly my point! People would have a lot more respect for you if you were calm about the topic, but when you spout things like that and encourage violence, you then turn around in total surprise when people turn against you! You'll never understand! Go ahead and blame the future generations for the past, there's nothing we can do about it, but you're obviously too ignorant to understand this concept. Grow up and start acting like a human being who shares this place with lots of others, instead of being arrogant and thinking you're above everyone else, because you're not! You're just petty and give yourself and others a bad name! The way you harp on about people will get theirs - blah blah blah, there's only one place for you! And it isn't up!

Once again a Westerner who doesn't understand our culture has spoken.... All hail the mightly Westerner...
02-01-2006, 10:05 AM
Well honestly, what do you expect, when all you preach is hatred, yes blow up those who cross you, is it any wonder?
I have no care for people who if they don't get their own way, throw their toys out the pram and think violence is an answer! Islam and true Muslims are peacing loving, tolerant people - nothing like you! Who twists and turns everything little thing and ends up crying when someone talks against you, you're a disgrace to the Muslim friends I have who certainly wouldn't side with you!
02-01-2006, 10:17 AM
I care little for your words and what you call me.... You obviously do not understand our anger... Very few in the West understand...
I shake my head and pity those that do not understand....

Look at the headline of news paper
Honourable Fellow Citizens of the Muslim World Hahahahah , i remember ,this news paper always used to call terror to muslims .............but boycott did lot of tricks and now the media and government have changed the tone of their voice and first time realize " world exist beyound Denmark". choco can u avoid posting your views when you dont know about religion and culture sensitivity? In order to discuss why E= mc(sqr) ,u must have background in math and physics. In the same way ,in order to discuss religion ,you must be qualified enough to write a response. So dont make fool of yourself by argument for the sake of argument policy |
