Qaradawi demands Mo-boycott
The Times of India (via) reports that hardline Egyptian cleric has jumped on the latest Mo-toon bandwagon by demanding a boycott of Danish products.
“Regrettably, Muslims start potently with these issues, then they relax gradually as the strong (supporters) get weaker and the enthusiastic (supporters) get lazy,” said el-Qaradawi during a press conference aired by Al-Jazeera television.
That’s one way of looking at it. Another point of view is that most Muslims are adult enough to realise (eventually, in some cases) that a bunch of cartoons you haven’t seen being published in a country you have no intention of visiting isn’t the most important thing in the world.
