I think you are going overboard, you cat start your own industries just because something which in the scale of things happening on this planet is rather small.
they did something that upset people, peopel kicked up a fuss and the naughty peopel realised how much offence they gave and teh governments were sorry.
WHY punish a company that has nothing to do with it
and anyway, if we all indulged in tit for tat
they could always turn around and say we dont want your oil...(ok ..not as much as we used to buy)
Oil:
Oil!, they dont run Power Plants on Oil - these pathetic losers run on Nuclear Energy and tell Iran that they cant have Nuke Energy. Damn these hypocrats.
**small?
**umm, basically the whole europe published those despicable cartoons.
**Gov't Sry?
**No, Danish Gov't has failed to say so. it has been over 4 months!
If mid-east decide to remove these industaries, it is going to benifit them(mid-east) in the long term

No No no
Denmark
Austria
france
Spain
Germany
Italy
and these are the ones that didnt
i was going to write out a list but there were forty three
and thats without counting Turkey and Israel( hey... they're in teh Eurovision song contest)
:rotfl:they said that they cannot aplogize for something done by media (due to free speech). The editor said he was not expecting muslims to react in such a manner (i.e. did not find the cartoons to be offensive). I also read somewhere that last week the editor tried to publish more cartoons but was fired by the owner of Jyllands-Posten
not sorry: but they know what they did was a big mistake, for which muslim world must stop trade with denmark until an official apology is made, and the editor is put in jail (as per the danish law, UN, and EU law for inciting hate)
Does your definition of hypocrisy cover someone who advocates kicking all westerners out of the middle east while demanding respect for Muslims in the west? While that Muslim himself suckles from, and lives in the west?
Does it cover demanding an official aplogy from a government (that had nothing to do with an insulting cartoon) while denying that any Muslim group or entity should do the same for the Muslims who advocate the killing of western civilians in the name of Islam? Who is supposed to apologize for that message of hate, murder and intolerance?
A long-term consumer boycott of Danish goods in the Middle East and other Muslim countries could threaten some 11,000 jobs in Denmark, a Danish bank said Tuesday. Exports of food and agriculture products alone could cost some 4,000 Danish jobs if the boycott continues for a year, Jyske Bank analyst Claus Birn Jensen said. According to Jensen, Danish exports to the Middle East total some 8 billion kroner (1.3 billion dollars), roughly 1 per cent of Denmark’s total exports. In addition to agriculture products, Danish exports include pharmaceuticals, machinery, and other industrial products.
Calls for a boycott of Danish products were triggered to protest a Danish newspaper’s publication last September of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed, viewed as offensive by many Muslims. The chief editor of the Jyllands-Posten newspaper late Monday apologized for publishing the caricatures, saying they “were not intended to be offensive, nor were they at variance with Danish law, but they have indisputably offended many Muslims, for which we apologize,” Carsten Juste said. Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen on Monday expressed his first criticism of the publication. “I personally have such respect for people’s religious feelings that I personally would not have depicted Mohammed, Jesus or other religious figures in such a manner that would offend other people,” Rasmussen told commercial broadcaster TV2 news.
Danish food company Arla, which produces a range of dairy products for sale in the Arabic region, had Tuesday no immediate reports if the conciliatory statements had made any impact. Arla said Monday it was to close a dairy in the Saudi city of Riyadh that employs 800 people, and was preparing contingency plans for some 100 workers at three dairy plants in Denmark that make products exported to the Middle East and North Africa. Kasim Amat, spokesman for one of the Danish Islamic congregations, welcomed the statements by the premier and Jyllands-Posten’s editor. “Now we have to work together to ensure a calmer debate and a proper dialogue about Islam and Muslims,” he said on Danish radio. Amat suggested a joint delegation of Islamic organisations, foreign ministry officials and Danish businesses should visit Saudi Arabia to discuss how the boycott should be ended.
Okay, so apart from boycotting Danish products what about those from other european countries that added more fuel to the fire and REPRINTED the cartoons? They knew clearly how offended muslims were yet went ahead and printed them. Just to name a few, France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Norway are all culprits. Is there an international muslim boycott on these countires too?
Interesting. I read about their Riyadh facility possibly closing down before. I take it thats 800 muslim workers without a job now?
^
Nope, hundreds of Danish workers have been sent home from the Middle East due to collapsing sales.
Any Muslim workers will be easily able to find jobs when competitors move in to fill the gap, and they are probably queuing up to take over. It’s all capitalism.
Never mind retaliation from the EU on Denmarks' behalf. Of course there is a huge reported dropoff in EU tourism to the Middle East and North Africa.
The thing people forget is that the combined GDP of all Arab countries is smaller than the GDP of Spain alone. Of course half of that is oil. Muslim countries need trade with the West far more than than the West needs the business.
Be proud, you hurt one dairy and cut the sales of LEGOs. Whoopee. Let's revel in the power.....
The western press' claim they are for the freedom of speech are all baseless and they are all hypocrites. To write the slightest critic about the jews and their their faith is considered anti-semite and in no way could be defended in the name of freedom of speech, yet when Isam is at the recieving end, then for them it is permissible and anyone who doing it, is exercising under his/her right of the freedom of speech and therefore should be praised and supported.
thats haram too
