These endless grievances are intended to intimidate the general population, starting with its leaders. Those who show weakness exacerbate the problem.

My response would have been: if you purchase my product, you can save the image. If someone else purchases the product, you have no cause for compliant. Further, the Saudi flag is in the public domain; take the issue up with them.

Shami Khan, from the Edinburgh Pakistan Society, said the company should recall the cartons regardless of the cost.

"They have deeply offended the Muslim community and the only way to rectify this is for them to recall all the offensive cartons. We don’t want this to create any sort of religious tension in the community, we just want them to show our religion the respect it deserves."

Exactly! Moslems are obsessed with humiliating non-Moslems. Bad enough, that they pull this crap in their own countries, but they are increasingly getting away with in Christian countries. These idol-worshippers are saying that a company should go out of business, just to please their vanity. if the company's bosses are so spineless then they deserve to go out of business.

Oh, but they want to dictate what is and is not in the public domain. Since they recognize no private sphere, and no separation of church and state, they can argue that any refusal to bow down to their demands, violates their religious freedom.

I hope Christian Brits buy up as many of the cartons as possible and very publicly fil them up with nice things like feces, and all manner of pig product, including dung.

P.S. Note the assumption that all non-Moslems are filthy.
