Cartoon Clashes Provide Smokescreen for Other Muslim, Arab Issues

UPDATE: Swedish newspaper Expressen reports here from the funeral of a 17-year-old Lebanese boy who died during the attack on the Danish consulate in Beirut:

Family and friends were there - as well as many of the rioters who together with Khoudor [the dead boy] attacked the Danish consulate the day before yesterday. None of them want to appear with their last name, since they know that they are wanted by the Lebanese authorities.

'If the army only had let us burn down the consulate without resistance this would not have had to happen. We wanted to get to the consulate, but the army tried to stop us' says Tala, only 14 years old.
/.../
Just a few kilometres outside Barja is the village of Saida - with a Palestinian refugee camp, Ain al-Houlwa. At the time of the funeral a rally took place:

'Every muslim must kill a Dane, a Frenchman or another Westerner' chanted the crowd." hat tip Expat Swede

As for  Denmark, I have enormous respect for that country and their people. It's one of the great untold stories of World War II: In 1943, in German-occupied Denmark, the Danish people find out that all 7,500 Danish Jews are about to be rounded up and deported to German concentration camps. Danish citizens spontaneously make their own decision: it's not going to happen. And it didn't. Risking their own lives, the Danes quickly rallied round to save their fellow citizens, and almost all of the country's Jews were able to escape the clutches of the Nazis and find refuge in neutral Sweden.More here

Iran has cut all trade ties with Denmark . Commerce Minister Masoud Mir-Kazemi announced a ban on Danish imports as well as any other business dealings with the country "until further notice," and added that Danish-registered ships entering Iranian ports would also be charged "very heavy" fees.

Gulf Muslims Step Up Danish Boycott Over Cartoons
Arab News EDDAH, 7 February 2006 — People in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries intensified their boycott of Danish goods as the uproar over caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) raged unabated yesterday.

Chicago food distributor SUSPENDS all Business with Denmark-based Arla Foods iyad Brothers Importing, one of the largest distributors of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food products, announced today it SUSPENDED all business with Denmark-based Arla Foods.

Nemer Ziyad, vice president of Ziyad Brothers Importing, said the decision is in response to the insulting and offensive caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed published by Denmark's leading newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, and the growing controversy.

"I am furious with what the newspaper did. I am disappointed with the hesitation of the Government of Denmark to speak out against this. I support free speech, but I believe that we must speak out when free speech crosses the line and incites hatred, as the publication of these extremely offensive cartoons have done," Ziyad said.

"We have enjoyed a relationship with Arla Foods, acting as the exclusive distributor of three of its most popular products here in the United States. We are encouraged that this issue may be resolved, but until it is properly resolved, we must take this action" Hat tip Tom via Rantburg

Do I have any readers out there is the food biz to pick up the slack and carry ARLA, the Danish food products line?

UPDATE to ARLA: Fellow Infidel Bloggers Alliance contributor, DS, says Arla foods has asked the government to apologize. He says we shouldn't suppport Arla. NO APOLOGIES ARLA!

    SWEDISH PUBLISHER WITHDRAWS TEXTBOOK HERE

    STOCKHOLM, Sweden (UPI) -- A Swedish publishing company Monday withdrew a religious textbook because it contains two images of the Muslim prophet Mohammed.

    The book published by Liber was aimed at intermediate-level high school students, The Local reported.

    The pictures were taken from a 14th century Persian manuscript and a 13th century Iraqi manuscript. The book was published in 1993.

    The actions coincide with a series of demonstrations around the world protesting newspaper cartoons depicting Mohammed as a terrorist. A statement published by Liber on its Web site made no mention of the controversy. Hat tip: Night rider

    Boycott costing Danish companies $1M daily

    Pamela - We should all get in the game. You´ve done more than enough by publishing the cartoons, now we need to get all newspapers and magazines, TV networks, etc. to publish the cartoons. As brave Scandanavians wore Stars of David when the Nazis demanded this of the Jews, so now we must stand together on this Islam idiocy.

    Ok, as a person living in Denmark, where there is a HOT discussion about these drawings...
    This site is stupid...
    I'm not a muslim, and I'm not danish.

    And the queen actually said "modspil" and it does not mean opposition,
    she meant the danish government/people should meet them half way there...
    She has been quoted wrongly!

    denmark55,

    From the article Pamela linked.

    She said: "We are being challenged by Islam these years - globally as well as locally. It is a challenge we have to take seriously. We have let this issue float about for too long because we are tolerant and lazy.

    We have to show our opposition to Islam and we have to, at times, run the risk of having unflattering labels placed on us because there are some things for which we should display no tolerance."


    How do you get "meet them half way" out of that quote? Did it get that messed up in translation? I doubt it.

    This type of behavior appears more racist than rseponsible. How does attacking American embassies resolve anything. America is not even involved in the cartoon issue. I think this just shows how irrational, and racist, these individuals are. There are many good Muslims, these ones perpetraing violence are not. I also wonder why more moderate Muslims have not condemmed the violence, I sure hope they don't condone this racist behavior.

    Before I rip you a new a**hole again, I have to ask. You are older than fourteen aren't you?

    Denmark55,
    That's the spirit. People tell you they want to kill you for exercising your right to free speech, and they want to end Democracy, and you want to meet them halfway.

    What an idiot you are.

    raymondb wrote, "I also wonder why more moderate Muslims have not condemmed the violence, I sure hope they don't condone this racist behavior."

    You have to understand: there is NO SUCH THING AS moderate Muslims. Muslims are very, very reluctant to criticize their clergy or other Muslims. To do so would be to have your status as a Muslim removed by a fatwa.

    Now, I have to applaud the European newspapers that did stand up for FREE SPEECH and what it entails... and I have to admit with a heavy heart that I am ASHAMED of our government for kowtowing to the Muslims.

    Free speech is supposed to be a cornerstone of our Constitution. The present administration has pulled the rug out from under it.

    My next vacation will be in Denmark. I will gladly spend $$$$ there.

    Sorry about the triple trackback!

    Atlas says:

    "Bush should speak out strongly against this repression of free speech."

    Perhaps Bush is concerned, given the reliable leftist rejection of anything he says, that his vocal support of Denmark might actually backfire as an attempt to build support for Denmark. (at least in terms of support from the left) Two of the basic principles of liberal ideology are:

    1. Hate George Bush and denounce anything he says.
    2. Protect freedom of speech. (ESPECIALLY when it comes to freedom of the press)

    Well, in the case of the cartoon jihad, these two principles run in direct contradiction to each other. It is time for the liberals to admit that they have been wrong.

    Might want to consider not buying any of their products. Feelings can be mutual. If they don't believe in freedom of speech, we can show them the power of market forces.

    The cartoons were published 6 months ago! Why did we not have all the violence and killings in Sep or Oct? Why in Feb 06? Do you think it may relate to the Muslims getting "their" A bomb?

    How many Danish Muslims are working in companies that export products ? In a few weeks, it would be fun to blow up the Danish unemployment lines. Hundreds of innocent Danish Muslims would perish. Such a sinister twist of fate, eh ?
    I really appreciate what's going on. The Muslim lunatics are showing the world how peaceful and tolerant they are. Also trustworthy, friendly, empathetic, considerate, civil, educated, kind.......

    Kids, don't forget to watch al-Jazeera's pre-Olympic special, Wide World of Wahhabic Sports!

    I picked up a set of teak coasters from my local Danish import store today. I made sure to tell the owner and his cashier (both Danes) exactly why I was in there.

    Here's one of the better examples of silliness in this cartoon mess:

    From the BBC:

    "Danish aid group has suspended operations in war-torn Chechnya after the Russian-backed administration there banned all Danish organisations.

    The Danish Refugee Council, which provides food to tens of thousands in Chechnya, said it hoped the suspension would be temporary."

    So Chechyna children will starve while kind-hearted Danish aid workers are threatened.

    Well, I've been kind of busy lately but I'm trying to do my part. I picked up a case of Carlsberg from our local liquor store. I then emailed the Danish embassy to advise them that I plan to toast their Queen, armed forces in Iraq and cartoonists.

    We're planing to serve the Danish beer with Aussie and Israeli wines (some great vintages are produced up on the Golan Heights). Perhaps we'll also serve Polish perogies to recognize their contribution to the Allied Forces.

    I guess Michelle Malkin pulled a fast one on Fox News Channel's Hannity and Colmes tonight and showed a poster with the twelve cartoons. They quickly turned the cameras away.
    I'm downloading it now from expose the left.com.

    Is it possible to win a war by driving your enemy completely insane?

    Ringo: it sure is. Read "The Art of War," by Sun Tzu. There are several translations out there....

    I'm buying a case of Carlsburg, and I am ordering a new shortwave radio from Denmark.
