This is what the muslim blogger "Sandmonkey" in Egypt said about it:
Ok, reasons why a boycott is retarded:
1) You are boycotting the wrong people: The people who published those cartoons work in a danish newspaper. They do not own danish factories, make danish cheese or toys, or any of those nifty products that they have on that list. In essence you are punishing everyone and everything danish because what one newspaper printed, and yet, you are not really punishing the newspaper. Not really. Unless they are exporting their newspaper to Egypt, which they are not, you have less than 0% chance of actually affecting them, hurting them or punishing them. In short, you are preventing yourself from eating some really good cheese for no reason at all. You want to hurt the people who did this? Sue the newspaper. Sue them everywhere, for any reason you like. That should affect them directly. This boycott won't.
2) This will accomplish nothing, except getting more people pissed at muslims: Given that the " we are outraged" movement has decided to go all out with their speeches, it was inevitable that some crazy hotheads decided to issue death threats against the newspaper and the cartoonists. Yes, cause nothing says we are peacefull tolerant people like death threats and boycotting a whole country. I've yet to see a single christian group get mad at the Rolling Stones for having Kanye West depicting Jesus on their cover, and you know why? because they understand that there is something called free speech and freedom of expression. That it's not always pleasant. That some people will try to provoke a reaction out of you by offending you with something like this. And you know what? Muslims fall for it every single time and then the crazy -------s amongst them go all the way and do something stupid. Like the Van Gogh murder in 2004. Remember how good that made us look in Holland? What? You want to go through that whole thing again, and drag us with you for the ride? Thanks but no thanks moron. Our reputation is already bad as it is, and we don't need anymore help sullying it.
3) The Prophet doesn't need your defense: If you truly believe that the Mohamed is god's prophet and that god exhalted him beyond all other prophets, then do you really think anything that anyone will say about him will make an ounce of difference? Will the sun rise from the west because someone said it does, or will it rise from the east regardless? Do you get my point here? Do you understand that cartoons depicting the prophet will not hurt him in any way, not will they harm his image? What is it you are afraid of? Someone looking at the cartoon depicting him and going "Ohh, that Mohamed fella really doesn't look pleasant. He must suck as a person if a cartoon shows him with bombs on his head. There is no way I will convert to Islam now, and from this day forward I will fully support the bombing of its followers."? What, cause cartoons hold so much power over people? Or are you afraid that muslims will look at those cartoons and go "Gee, our prophet doesn't look good here. I am done with Islam. I am going to turn Hindu and worship a cow instead"? Or is it his reputation that you are afraid will get tarnished because oif that cartoon? That somehow, someone will make an uneducated and totally ignorant judgment on the prophet and the religion because of 12 cartoons in a newspaper? Well, if that's the case, answer this question for me: What is more likely to tarnish the reputation of Islam: 12 cartoons in a newspaper, or calls for punishment and death threats to the people who penned those cartoons? Which damages our reputation more? Are you getting the point or do I need to draw it out for you?
So please, will all of you pious ****heads who think you will score brownie points with God over your boycott stop being retarded? A danish boycott will do nothing, the same way the american products boycott did nothing, and any future boycott will do nothing. Grow up. Accept other people's opinion even if they disagree with yours, the same way you want them to accept your opinions. And next time you see something that offends your muslim sensibilities, whether it's a movie, a cartoon, or a piglet mug, do us all a favor and just look the other way. And if you are really mad, then take a xanax or count to 10 or something. Or even better, go get laid. Find a danish woman and sleep with her. Now that's revenge.
Just whatever you do, don't do something stupid, or encourage people to do something stupid, or use big words such as "demanding the Mohamed's Ummah would rise up to defend his honor" when you don't undertsand them or their consequences. And remember, prophets exhalted by God do not get tarnished by humans, nor do they need human defenders, especially ones that are as stupid as you.
It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, and obedience to Allâh, etc.) that you turn your faces towards east and (or) west (in prayers); but Al-Birr is (the quality of) the one who believes in Allâh, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets and gives his wealth, in spite of love for it, to the kinsfolk, to the orphans, and to Al-Masâkîn (the poor), and to the wayfarer, and to those who ask, and to set slaves free, performs As-Salât, and gives the Zakât, and keep their word whenever they make a promise, and who are patient in extreme poverty and ailment (disease) and at the time of persecution, hardship, and war. Such are the people of the truth and they are Al-Muttaqûn (the pious).
inshAllah our intentions about boycotting israel, denmark, and whatever country that discriminated Islam and our PROPHET (peace be upon him) are in their rightful place.
But later on, we have to surpass this stage and move to the role of "Discussing" about Islam and Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) with those countries. (just as Amr Khaled was suggesting to do)

You are aware that more muslims are better at sending this kind of crap via e-mail than they are at following Islam: funny how if an email tells you to do something, you do it. Yet when Allah tells you, you make up an excuse.
Note 1: this is not meant to offend the thread starter, but to prevent this kind of thing from happening.
Note 2: If you really want to show your support for Islam and the Prophet [saw] then follow in the Prophet's teachings via Quran and sunnah.
Someone said to the Prophet, "Pray to God against the idolaters and curse them." The Prophet replied, "I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse." (Muslim)
Excuse me but i dont understand what u meant about that post,,,
if u r addressing muslims who r disregarding their duties towards Allah and just sending off "this kind of crap" then ur still wrong to address them with that attitude, atleast they try to help islam and muslims, and u never know, maybe a dedicated muslim or a muslim-byname gets touched by one of "this kind of crap" and makes them more closer to Allah.
Also u should never judge a person u dont know, let alone judge their relationship with their Lord!!!
Im sorry if there was a misunderstanding, but if u meant generally that people believe and do what people around them say, but judge what Allah and His Prophet (peace be upon him) say, then thats true, and we should advise them and pray for them to be guided.
And if u feel that boycotting isnt the best way to support Islam and Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) then thats ur opinion, but many others feel that boycotting is the only way they can help and show their support publicly. and of course i totally agree that u should live ur whole life based on the Quraan and Sunnah.
Yes, but the point is, they are probably drug dealers etc. who are telling ppl how to live their lives........When themselves are in no position to tell others what to do, practice what u preach brothers and sisters.

No offence, but I know what kind of people these are: they lack intelligence on a huge scale, many of them cannot contsruct a sentence without swearing - this is not a judgement, it's a fact - one that since wednesday I denied by giving the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure you are aware of these people: they aren't what you'd call practicing muslims as many of them haben't learnt the basics of Islam, or rather taught the basics of Islam

Sadly, a large majority of muslims that I have met are like this and it is difficult to change them as change comes from within the individual.

My post was refering to chain letters on the whole. At the end of the day it's up to you to boycott - an e-mail should not govern one's actions .
and of course i totally agree that u should live ur whole life based on the Quraan and Sunnah.
I'm happy that we are in agreement.
anyway no hard feelings bro
I'm happy there aren't . I don't mind people disagreeing or misunderstanding with my posts or opinions - it shows, to some degree, a level of intelligence, which is an attribute I admire very much.
I hope that cleared it up - if there is anything that isn't clear, I will be happy to explain. Thank you for your time.
Someone said to the Prophet, "Pray to God against the idolaters and curse them." The Prophet replied, "I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse." (Muslim)
thanks alot for the explanation,, but the weird thing is that u focused on the issue of chain letters.. well, will it bother u if people do forward and spread these kinds of emails which are about Islam, or a newsflash, or about friendships etc...??? even though its beneficial?
i mean i dont see the problem in posting products' barcode numbers for example, is it immoral of people to ask others to spread those numbers?!? in the intention of gaining Hasanaat and giving others the opportunity to gain too? which is, i believe helps people become closer to Allah.

Dont u just feel sorry for them? Alhamdolilah Allah (subhanaho wataala) blessed us with alot of things they dont have, the most important one is being good muslims, so if u say their qualities are facts, i still say thats a bad judgement, maybe they were raised this way, their society compelled them to act that way, didnt get the proper guidence, and then it became a habit or a quality in them. So is it really their fault? and u know that Allah is the One who guides whoever He chooses, so maybe His guidence hasnt shown its effect yet on those people, or He chooses not guide them at all.... its a big issue nobody should venture in it or judge unwisely cuz its Allah's choices. but as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said that u should give 70 excuses for ur muslim brother before judging him,,, no matter what.
Sadly, a large majority of muslims that I have met are like this and it is difficult to change them as change comes from within the individual.
true,but its not difficult to help them change if u pray Allah, and really put an effort into guiding atleast one of them urself. and u should know well the great reward u will recieve by achieving that (as it IS hard to change peoples' principles, but i think that Islam is the religion that really puts everything sensibly and logicaly in its place, so if people were logical, they would definitely choose and live by islam )
*lightnen up , u seem to be kinda negative and pessimistic* think positively about people and ur capabilities. InshaAllah when i meet u in Heaven u'll tell me that u've changed someone to the better!

yes they arent qualified to be taught from or stood up as role models, but try to become the person who listens to all, and only follows the best of it u know? (there is a hadeeth in that matter)

I don't disagree with what you have written at all. I just get angry when muslim contacts send me this kind of stuff in email, yet when I see them in college they practically break every rule in Islam - i'm refering to those who only remember Islam when it suits them.

Very true what you have stated. Let's say that they were raised without Islamic education. The blame rests on their parents. Let's say, for instance that they had a bad chilhood/upbringing which prevented education etc. In that case, fine I have no "beef" with them. If however their parents simply did not teach them the basics then it is the parents fault: the child then learns this and passes it down to their children - and so the cycle continues. At a certain age, however, people have to start taking responsibiliy for their actions - so the blame therefore rests on their own shoulders. It sadens me that such a beautiful and peaceful religion is being torn apart by those who are following it by not following it properly .

I admire your hopefullness. I wish more people were like you.
*lightnen up , u seem to be kinda negative and pessimistic* think positively about people and ur capabilities.
at the lighten up bit. I only recently realised what was staring infront of me all the time on wednesday. Basically, my hope in those that I have refered to was lost. I finally realised that these guys/gals are not playing by the rules and so, in essence I give up.
InshaAllah when i meet u in Heaven u'll tell me that u've changed someone to the better!
I think that is the most nicest thing anyone has ever said to me on a forum. Inshallah, I will see all of the bro's and sister's here on this forum in Heaven.

Im kinda tired of pointing this out, but you'll have to boycott Germany, Japan, Italia, France, Canada, Mexico, Netherlands etc.
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
thanks bro Herostratos, and dont stop pointing out what is right and wrong, and because ur tired but still repeating the same advice God will reward u even more on ur good deeds.
