Saudis Boycotting Denmark

Islamdom is still mad at the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten for running cartoons like this one poking fun at Muhammed, or as Arab Times put it, "the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)." So mad, in fact, that there's now a formal boycott.

Al-Othaim Holding Company, which sells a bunch of stuff in Saudi Arabi through its Al-Othaim Supermarkets and Al-Othaim Mall, has said it will boycott Danish products until Jyllands-Posten apologizes for publishing the cartoons.

Yeah, those nasty, nasty cartoons defiling the Big Daddy of Islam. How dispicable. How disrespectful.

Oh, by the way, do you recall the Little Green Footballs post from a ways back that was not too respectful of a certain Son of God, member of the Trinity and much-loved savior of this world's Christians?

You know, this cartoon:


The Arab text notes that shown on the cross are Saddam and "a Palestinian brother."
