The recent anti-Prophet cartoons by the Danish far-right assh*les is reviving the Danish products’ boycotting campaign in Egypt.
The Muslim Brotherhood vehemently denounced the “insults against the Prophet,” and called for an economic boycott campaign against the products of the countries that “allow such insults.”
As a Dane, I would like to point out that the latest cartoons in Denmark were drawn by a group of right-wing radicals. They in no way represent the views the majority of Danes. But, in general, Danes and others don’t understand very well how Egyptians can tolerate vile and bigoted carictures of Jews in your newspapers, while being so intolerant of alleged blasphemies in Denmark.
Many muslims live in countries where there is no such thing as freedom of speech, anyhting in a newspaper is basically state-sanctioned. They think this is what it is like in the rest of the world. Couple that with th a 7th century outlook on life (Islam) that endeavors to keep them ignorant and you get people who are very volatile and don’t react well to criticism of any kind.
