Boycott hurt Danish

[Whatsthepoint]

hmm lets get some real facts first. More than 1/2 the americans themselves believe 9-11 had their gov't's hands in it. So let's not go there.

And it's really as simple as another person said it here. Stop making stupid cartoons insulting other's faith and you won't have them react with whatever they can do to hurt you back.

In a free, democratic country like Denmark 99% of the population along with the government could be against such cartoons, yet no one would be able to do anything about it.

No matter how much you or anyone was offended or hurt, simply because something is effective, does it make punishing those who had nothing to do with the hurt and offense caused okay?

Its truly remarkable how when things are turned upside down, its suddenly all right to inflict punishment to those who had nothing to do with the negative events.

.

if a muslim does not want to buy a product that is their choice, no one can force them to use the product if they feel they cannot use such a product.

what do you want us as muslims to do? shut up and take it?

Take what? The cartoons were published, nothing is going to change that fact. The government can't and couldn't change that fact, the people can't or couldn't change that fact. It is called a constitutional freedom. The only party responsible is the newspaper that printed them...thus, the only effective method of punishing anyone for the cartoons is to punish the newpaper that printed them. Meaning don't buy it.

so it has nothing to do with the government allowing it? is the newspaper allowed to write any and everything? no i dont think so. there are limits that they could get in trouble for.
and the government in a round about way supported them when they apologised for offending the muslims

Its really weird explaining how democracy works. It must seem really hard to understand if your in a state where the government just prints what it wants the people to read.

I cant imagine that.

I suppose many of us in the West do take constitutional forms of government for granted.

It also seems to be a rather hard concept to get across to those not raised in the system, I agree.

while i agree that boycotting doesn't punish the right people, if people want to use this to express their protest, i see nothing wrong with it either. i mean, not buying the newspaper, isn't really an option for the world's muslims.
newspapers are supported by advertisers and advertisers make products. (at least that's how it is here).

Denmarks economy wont notice this boycott. It's been said long and loud, this is going to hurt nobody.
Denmark simply dosnt export enough to Muslim nations. The stuff it produces and exports is mostly haram.
Muslims wont be hurt, Denmark wont be hurt. If a dozen companies lose a 2% drop in sales , that will be remarkable.

Boycotts are a freedom of action, and by all means crack on with them. Any non-violent response is fine and dandy.

It would have been better just to let these cartoons slip into nothingness over a year ago rather than keeping on constantly stiring a pot that causes division between nation and distain to the ummah living in the west.

You can punish the advertisers, which might lead them to stop supporting the newspaper, true. This has worked in the U.S. before, but I don't recall what the scenario was.

So you don't mind we boycotting? Great! Then why is it anyone bother to whine whether or not boycott will hurt Danish economy in the first place.

Simon (the ummah) says, "Boycott". Deal with it.

Alternatively, you could draw stupid cartoons of terrorist rats instead. That'll hurt no one except the rodent community. Worst thing could happen is that they despoil your crops.

Hmmm, I guess that to answer the boycott of dannish products, the Danes should stop buying things from muslims in Denmark.

Anybody living in Denmark (Muslim) plz reply. Then would I.

Please do! There are 1.6 bil of us Muslims all over the world. I am sure we will be seriously hurt by the Danish boycott.

Drawing stupid cartoons, directing slanderous (and equally stupid) movie (they call 15 min a movie?) and then boycotting the Muslims, I have only one thing to tell the Islamophobes: get a job!

But who said about boycotting all mulims worldwide.Danes could just boycott 200 000 muslims in Denmark.

I just think that boycotting whole nation because one newspaper from that country made a cartoon is stupid. In the same way Spaniards and Brittons could boycott their muslim citizens after terorist atatcks in London and Madrit.

Report: Muslim Boycott Hurts Denmark's Economy(IsraelNN.com)

The Danish Arla Foods Company announced recently that it had suffered serious losses due to a Muslim consumer boycott. If the boycott continues for the entire year, the company could lose $372 million, managers said.

Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Moller recently spoke to the local daily Boerson and warned that a third printing of the caricatures could cause Denmark serious long-term financial losses.

Cartoons were stupid and not necessary Islamirama, but punishing whole country for mistake of one newspaper is stupid too.

^^^ I think it is brilliant and actually responsible.. at least it is better than starting a global war over it.. personally for me, I think it is enough a cause to invade Denamrk and the conterminous countries...

cheers

You reap what you sow, especially when you knew what reaction you were going to get and being forewarned not to be stupid!
