TEHRAN, Iran - Iranians love Danish pastries, but when they look for
the flaky dessert at the bakery they now have to ask for "Roses of the
Prophet Muhammad..."

So, it's not o.k. to portray Muhammad with a bomb on his turban, but it
IS o.k. to have him endorse flaky pastry. Hmmmmm.

I thought it was pretty goofy when Merkins started called fries Freedom Fries.

I bought some Danish beer the other day. I intend to buy some Danish Cookies
and some Danish Blue Cheese when I go shopping today.

The other day I was on my way to an appointment and had to stop for some gas. I
went to the new self serve station around the corner from my doctor's office.
When I went in to pay I discovered that it is run by Moslems. I won't be
taking any more business there.

And above we have an example of an American heeding the words of
George W. Bush:

"I also want to speak tonight directly to Muslims throughout the
world. We respect your faith. It's practiced freely by many millions
of Americans, and by millions more in countries that America counts as
friends. Its teachings are good and peaceful, and those who commit
evil in the name of Allah blaspheme the name of Allah."

That Freedom Fries nonsense was the idea of Walter Jones, a congressman from
this state (NC). Not my congressman I am happy to say.

I am just doing my bit to make the Moslem boycott of Denmark counter
productive. I got some Faxe beer the other day and today I bought some Danish
blue cheese and some Danish Havarti. It's got nothing to do with Bush. I am not
American and I am not Christian. I owe a personal debt of gratitude to a lot of
Danes, and as long as Moslems are boycotting Denmark over some silly cartoons I
am going to be boycotting Moslem run businesses.

I have to thank the Iranians and the other Muslims who're freaking out
about that cartoon series. Far too many Americans are arrogant, too
self-absorbed, and way too religious. Well, those muslims make the
religious right here in the states look like rank amateurs when it comes
to taking religion too seriously. Their insistence that they can (or
need to) defend their supposed almighty and all powerful savior makes no
sense at all. If their god is almighty, it would certainly not need any
silly mortals to defend it, nor would it likely care if we believed in
it or not. Those religious nut cases (of all stripes) need to get a
sense of humor and/or take a chill pill!

Nothing "bigoted" about it, he can choose to patronise any business he
wants...this ain't communism.


> Tell me you're joking, please...


Why would you think he is "joking"? Have you read his posts about the
Danes who saved his father's life during WWII?

[ I bought some MORE Danish blue and Tuborg and Danish butter cookies
today...this weekend I am going to visit a Scandinavian store here in
Chicago to see if they have some little Danish flag lapel pins or
baseball caps or some such that I can wear to show solidarity with the
Danes. It's very important to me that we support Denmark...maybe I'll
even cruise into some Muslim - owned business wearing my Danish regalia
to give the stoopid pukes a little "jolt", heehee...]

I choose not to do business with Muslims either. I'm homosexual and
they believe (literally) that *** people should be put to death. I
AIN'T havin' it...least I can do is take my bidness elsewhere if I at
all can...

I won't even get into taxicabs that have obvious Muslim drivers. Once
in hospital a Muslim doctor (female) was assigned to me. I demanded
another doctor (made a real STINK in fact) - and I GOT a non - Muslim
doctor...

[And don't anyone give me any guff about "moderate" Muslims, there is
no such animal...]

I do my best to patronise companies that are *** - friendly/inclusive.
Frex even though the Cracker Barrel chain has rescinded it's notorious
anti - *** personnel policies, you couldn't force me to eat there if I
was starving. The whole Cracker Barrel contretemps a few years ago
just left too much of a bitter taste in my mouth for me to ever
consider giving those ignernt rednecks one thin DIME of my business...

"A Mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his

wife open a package.

"What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered-- he was devastated
to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning.

"There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the
house!"

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr.
Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no
consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the
house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but
there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my
prayers."

The mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the
house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off
my nose."

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face
the farmer's mousetrap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house-- like the
sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.

The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she
did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.

The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the
hospital, and she returned home with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the
farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.


But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit

with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for
her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat
for all of them.

The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great
sadness.

So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it
doesn't concern you, remember-- when one of us is threatened, we are
all at risk."

I guess that is another perspective! In regard to food, I really think
Ann Coulter needs to eat on occasion. Maybe a sandwich or two per day
would easy her mental issues!

Why would such a boycott be a sign of bigotry? The boycott is not based
on Muslims' religious practice, but their violent reaction to cartoons
and their Danish boycott. If Muslims are free to boycott products from
Denmark, it seems only fair that others be free to boycott Muslim
products.

What do people suggest I buy that's from Denmark that's also low in fat
and calories? I guess I could buy Legos, but they're way too high in
roughage! Seriously though, what products are the Danes known for
other than cheese and pastries?

Indeed. And not just the number of Danes who risked their lives to help him, but to
the many Danes who were so hospitable to us when we went back there to bury his ashes
alongside the graves of his crew mates. The last time I went back to visit his grave
I was delightfully surprised to find fresh flowers on his grave. Danes are damned
fine people who value freedom and democracy and I think that we should stand by them.
Since the actions of a handful of people in the country have led to them being faced
with a boycott from the world of Islam, which stands for the opposite of most things
that we believe in the west, it is on our best interests to counter the boycott, not
just to make up for business the Danes may have lost to Moslems, but to tune it
against them.

I will make an exception to my boycott of Moslem run businesses if I see a Danish
flag, an I Love Denmark sign, or a display of Danish goods in the store.

I bought some Tuborg beer last week and and on Valentines Day my wife bought me a case
of Faxe. When I went shopping yesterday I got some Danish Havarti and some Danish
blue. My wife had stopped on her way home and bought some Danish blue. We know have
lots of it. I had a salad with blue cheese dressing and some extra Danish blue added
to it. Tonight I am having chicken wings and will have those with celery and carrots
with blue cheese dressing fortified with extra Danish blue. Since Buffalo wings go
best with beer, it will have to decide ... Tuborg or Faxe.

I wear my Danish Canadian Friendship Assn. pin everywhere I go. It is a small lapel
pin with the Danish and Canadian flags side by side.

I hope that you are dilgently boycotting USA businesses until they pay
up on the softwood lumber case too. Just so you're consistant

Well the first question might be "Are Canadians boycotting Danish
products?" If not then all Dave Smith is doing is boycotting a fellow
citizen because he dislikes the behaviour of that fellow-citizen's
"possible co-religionists" in another country.

This is really sensible : Just like me boycotting the local fruitmarket
because it is owned by a Catholic because I dislike some of the
right-wing Chistian religious nuts in the USA. Yah right got to get
those Christians!

Buy Canadian wherever possible :-)

I am also very reluctant to buy French because they went halfway around the world to
test nuclear arms that they would not dare to do closer to home where it might affect
them. Then there was their actions in New Zealand where French agents killed two
people while blowing up the Rainbow Warrior. The agents were convicted and France
responded by using its veto power in the EU to pbar NZ meat from the continent. Dirty
business.

I would be lying if I didn't admit that was a factor in a lot of my shopping. I was
in the grocery store yesterday and say pears from the US and pears from SA, so I got
the SA pears. Apples were from US or Canada, and I always give preference to home
grown.

Thanks to the French nuclear tests in the Pacific and French market retaliation
against NZ for imprisoning two French agents for bombing of the Rainbow Warrior and
related deaths of two NZers I am reluctant to buy any French goods.

However, that is a personal boycott. I am not burning down embassies or pushing for an
organized boycott.

In this case there is a culture that espouses ideals counter to our own that is using
a violation of their personal religious beliefs to incite people to riot and trying to
economically cripple an entire country because of the actions of a handful of
people. I know which side my bread is buttered on.

He has the opportunity to demonstrate his allegiance. If he has Danish
products prominently displayed or some other sign of support of Denmark, or a
prominent repudiation of the Islamic boycott of Danish foods I will consider
patronizing the business. Otherwise, I will feel free to associate him with
the other side of the boycott.

Bear in mind that it was Muslims who called for the boycott of Danish goods.
There are a lot of small stores here run by Muslims. Economic boycotts are a
two way street. They can backfire on the people who call them.

If you admire Iran so much because of this why don't you move there
bunghole? I'm sure you'll fit right in with the rest of the Islam
terrorist ass-kissers!

But is the business owned by Moslems? Perhaps you are really hurting a
Canadian or some other country owned business by this action. After all
anyone can be employed there I imagine. In this U.S. gas is usually
supplied by a separate oil company and sold to franchises other
businesses. It might not be the same in Canada. You ever think of this
smart guy?

It is a franchise. The same company has other outlets in the other area whose
franchise holders are not Moslem.

That was a long time ago and a completely different government. France
was on our side in the Iraq debacle, and you should reward them for
being on the side of goodness and niceness. Tough decisions need to be
made in the area of boycotts. Too many boycotts are launched as an
unintelligent emotional reaction to something one takes as a personal
slight, like the guy who wanted everyone to boycott Chinese buffet
restaurants in the US until China released the spy plane they had
captured when it landed in Hainan. Fat lot of good that was going to
do :-)

To paraphrase Louis B. Mayer, a personal boycott, like a verbal
agreement, isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

I think Hanne Falkenberg knitting kits come from Denmark, and Vivian
