| Dairy Producer Who Boycotted Israel Gets Boycotted by Muslims |
| 2006-02-19 |
| Appeasing the radicals does not help. Here is another example. The Danish-Swedish diary giant Arla is the worst hit victim of the Muslim boycott of Danish products. Arab countries constituted ArlaÂ’s most important export markets. An article in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten today suggest that Arla itself has for many years been boycotting Israel because apparently companies doing business in Muslim countries are obliged to accept a clause that they will not trade with Israel. [PS: Arla immediately denied this in a press statement] Naturally, private companies and individuals are entitled to boycott whomever they want to. The present instance, however, shows that those who try to be a friend of extremists have no guarantee that the extremists will reciprocate the friendship... |

| #3 I agree. This whole thing is a wake up call, a clarifying moment. Eventually it will die down and the usual appeasers will get back to trying to distract the world with our own petty quarrels and convince us that these nutters are really nothing to worry about...no threats exist, it's just a phantom menace conjured up by the NeoCons. But it will be harder to do and fewer people will be able to believe them. |

| #2 I'm loving this whole thing. I hope it goes on and on, getting bigger and bigger. Many people who previous were unaware of the whole appeasing Muslims thing, can now see how far it's gone and how it just makes the problem worse. |
