#1 Well Ziyad, let's hear you speak out responsibly about hateful incitement. What cha got to say about 9/11, 7/7, "Kill the non-believers", etc., etc., etc.?

Any of that "cross the line"? Well, Ziyad, we're waiting.

#2 The way I see it is that this provides a great business opportunity for someone else. Some other international distributor is pinching himself this morning.

Welcome to capitalism.

#3 NO, Ziyad, it is about being Muslim. You didn't say a word , I'll wager, when the Bin Laden Jesus painting came out. You and your death cult can't seem to find it in your hearts to see anyone elses religion as legitimate. Burn churches and bibles at will, kill chrisitians and Jews for fun, but don't you dare insult the prophet. I say from my heart, "Fuck all Muslims".

#4 Well my, my Elm. Certainly not The Religious Policeman (who is up with new posts) or my muslim friends at work and the pub. The drooling, ranting rabble, maybe...

#5 Speed the day when the West suspends all business with Islamistan.

#6 Time for the FBI to check Ziyad's money transfers. All of them!

#7 feel free to boycott Ziyad Bros as well. Let someone else get a foothold in teh distribution biz that supports free speech and Denmark

#8 I believe that the US has a law to punish any company honoring the official Arab boycott of Israel. Perhaps it is time to expand upon that law.

#9 Well there goes my "Puck Cream and Cheese dip, with a hint of Lurpak Butter" I was serving tomorrow for my SuperBowl potluck.
This will be the WORST SUPERBOWL SUNDAY ever!

#10 Certainly not The Religious Policeman

And not Karzai, who has spoken against the violent protests re: the cartoons.

#11 I just called the Danish embassy in Washington to express my support and to ask if there was a way to get another distributor signed up quickly. He wasn't aware of Ziyad's announcement, but said he'd pass it along to those who might be able to facilitate other distribution channels for Arla's products into the US.

Capsu78, if you haven't baked with Danish butter, or eaten products made with it, you've missed out on a wonderful experience. ;-)

#14 A question:
Isn't a boycott like this illegal under Interstate Laws of Commerce?

#15 Simple enough: make sure all of Ziyad's customers know.

#16 Ziyad is a distributor of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food products. Most of the customers probably support this nonsense. And the Danish products probably aren't a major product line for them.
