Should we start a FR "Buy Danish" campaign?

John Zimmerman is right. The Muslim countries have chosen to pressure liberal little Denmark in order to teach the media and governments, which stand by them, a lesson which does not bode well for free speech or satire. Kuwait has joined the Saudi boycott (the Saudi market alone is worth 1.2 billion) and I suspect the rest will follow. So, here is a plea from my Danish friends:

"If you Americans look with this great sympathy on our case, couldn't you then raise a consumer support of DK in the US? The opposite of a boycott. A movement of: "Buy Danish!" Please?

Lets help this liberal nation in its hour of need. Lets put our money where our mouths are. They are taking a stand (albeit belatedly) against the enemy. This can be a tasty way to do the right thing.

They recommended you buy not only the always delicious Danish butter cookies but also:

Danish Havarti cheese

Carlsberg and Tuborg Beers.

Arla owns White Clover Dairy, a Wisconsin company so buy that brand. It comes under White Clover and Holland Farm.

Danish Crown hams ( DAK (sold at Sam clubs)... baby back ribs, because they come from Denmark.

You shop online at The Danish Foodshop and Danish Deli Foods.

You can also buy gorgious Danish porcelain and LEGO for the kids.

I'm on a limited budget, but bought a sixer of Tuborg the other day.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for sales and specials. What type of cheese is Havarti?

And, for the folks in Rio Linda, this does not mean "go to your local bakery and buy the pastry called 'danish'" - it means purchase products exported from the country of Denmark. :)

But I have a weight problem. Do I have to buy Danish? Can't I buy pork instead to aggravate terrorists?

DRAW MORE CARTOONS!

Yes!

And take every opportunity to encourage anyone you know to do the same.

A Buy-cott instead of a boycott would be a refreshing change.
