Iranians turn on Danish pastries in cartoon row, HERE
Not content with pelting European embassies with petrol bombs to protest against cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad, Iranians have decided to rename the "Danish pastries" relished by this nation of cake lovers.
From now on, the sweet, flaky pastries which dominate the shelves in Iran's cake shops will be known as "Roses of the Prophet Mohammad," the official IRNA news agency reported as pressure on Denmark over the cartoons took on a new dimension.
REMEMBER FREEDOM LOVERS: BOYCOTT THE BOYCOTT HERE
Hey guys: it's working here
RISE IN DANISH EXPORTS TO US AND GERMANY OUTSTRIP ENTIRE EXPORT MUSLIM WORLD
A Danish reader reports:
Today's Jyllands-Posten says that the growth in 2006 in Danish exports to two countries alone is larger than our total export to the entire Muslim world. The two countries are Germany and USA, and the estimates are even made without considering the Buy Danish-campaigns, that are unfolding in these two countries. If they have an effect, it'll be an extra bonus.
"We must tell Europeans, we can live without you. But you cannot live without us," said Sheikh Youssef al-Qaradawi, a leading imam in Qatar.
hOO-ah!

Why we always give in to these countries is beyond me. It always appears that thiose in power give in to those who threaten. I say if they wantto boycott because of the cartoons, we should boycott because of the kidnappings and racist behavior. Am I wrong?
