Belgians boycott Carrefour
The Brussels Journal reports that Carrefour Egypt has stopped importing and receiving Danish products from any supplier, and is removing all Danish products already on its shelves. This has triggered an email campaign in Belgium calling for a boycott of the French supermarket chain.
In other news, Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita has joined the fray by publishing two of the cartoons.
The editor, Grzegorz Gauden, commented that the European press has divided into two camps: those who decided to publish and those who explain why they are not going to do it. The editorial board, while recognizing the controversional nature of pictures’ contents, totally rejected the methods resorted to by the opponents of the publication: burning of national banners, terrorist threats, etc. Free press and free states cannot give in to this sort of pressure, was the unsurprising conclusion.
Radio Polonia reports that the paper has been criticised by Polish politicians.

PLEEEEASE– give me a break. How can Islam ever be scene as a ‘peaceful and tolerant’ religion. Muslims all over the world have blown their own facade and let loose how they really are. Ban Danish goods– to punish the paper. Mohammed would be proud.
BTW- jesus is constantly dipicted in American cartoons (south park) and recently on a tv show that included every debauchery known to man. When I used to work with English speaking Arabs, their favorite swearword was JESUS CHRIST, which they used whenever angry. They don’t even seen what hypocrites they are.
I have decided to stop shop at Carrefour
I have decided to stop shop at Carrefour, I prefer Makro or WalMart
Don Brown’s Da Vinci Code is sell well in moslem countries, only to prove that they love to ridicule other religions but can’t accept if others ridicule them. What a hypocrit.
well, you people do not understand. the way you and us think –or see — things are different. there are a law in islam that man may not draw/paint any of the prophets, incl. Jesus. Please try to step on our shoes..

#5. Ari, you say: “there are a law in islam…”
If I’m not a Muslim, why should I be required to observe Islamic law?
jesus would not burn down a building or utter death threats to those who insulted him - he embraced his enemies
When they called for the death of infidels
I thought it was just one voice
When they burned and trampled our rights
I thought it was freedom of speech
Then they talked about respect for religion
When they beheaded me
