hey guys, look
What You don't seem able to understand is the fact that people in MOST islamic wold are boycotting Danish products NOT because of what this news
paper said or this author do , its because of the responses of the Danish government about the issue, here is the official responses of the Danish
government:
1- the queen of Denmark called it a "freedom of speech" and told the author she encourage him to do more sketches like this about Islam to make the
Muslims more aware of the "freedom of speech" right.
2-The Danish prime minister told Muslims they have NO RIGHT to protest , not even the right to protest! AND THEY PREACH ABOUT FREEDOM OF SPEECH!
3-There supreme court chief encouraged Muslims to accept the cartoons and told them THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO PRESS CHARGES , again with RIGHTS .
it seems that the rights of freedom of choice is only reserved for Danish people in this matter and no one else , so when we talk about the boycott
they are not targeting the companies , they are targeting the government of Denmark who in force taxes on those companies exports profits which
reaches 100 million $ DAILY in the middle east area alone .
the news paper has nothing to do with the boycott , in fact I see the cartoon he did is nothing compared to other images in the internet on blogger
sites every day of degrading Islam and the Koran you don't see them boycotting these countries products, that's because the countries of these
bloggers didn't say "well done" to those people , it simply kept there mouth shut or said "we are sorry, this reflects only this person's opinion
not ours" IF the Danish government did that ,then everybody would have backed off.
do you remember "Salman Rushdi' in the 80's? no one made a big deal about Britain's choice to distribute the book , in fact it was distributed in
all Europe and America , there was a "Fatwa" to kill the author not the rest of Europe because the governments "Again" Knew how to deal with the
situation in a "smart way" which is a lot less then what I can say about the Danish government response.
Oh, and by the way the news paper did apologize and they are still boycotting them because the government "STILL DIDN'T" how arrogant!
I hope you understood now that the boycott has nothing to do with this newspaper or the artist who did them , its about the Danish government POINT
