Sudan says Danish products banned

 Sudan has enacted a ban on Danish imports in reaction to the reprinting of a cartoon that satirizes Islam's Prophet Muhammad, the Sudanese

Seventeen Danish newspapers reprinted the cartoon -- showing Prophet Muhammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban -- in a gesture of free speech on February
13, a day after three men were arrested in an alleged plot to kill the drawing's creator.

Well, so now we have the nation who is wiping out it native population, now banning imports from another country for a satire based newspaper comic.
Both actions seem to make little sense to me. I hope all reading this will see how big the mistake is to let religious doctrine govern a nation.
