Muslims Step Up Product Boycott Over Danish Cartoons 


Gulf retailers were pulling Danish products from their shelves and ambassadors were being summoned for a dressing down over the publication of cartoons depicting and ridiculing Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by the main Danish daily.

The Danish Arla company, one of Europe’s largest dairy producers, has placed advertisements in Middle Eastern newspapers to try to stop a boycott of its goods in Muslim countries, particularly Saudi Arabia, reported the BBC News Online.

A spokesman said Arla was facing consumer pressure to dissociate itself from the controversial cartoons published by Jyllands-Posten on.

The company has said its customers appeared to have stopped selling its dairy produce and had begun a boycott of Danish goods.
