Support the Danes!

Sometime ago I noted a little cartoon contest sponsored by a Danish newspaper. The goal was to depict the Prophet Mohammed in a cartoon. Some cartoons were respectful some not. Either way it was bound and did offend Islamic sensibilities. Now, Saudia Arabia and Kuwait are boycotting Danish goods and yes there are all sorts of threats to bomb Denmark ala Spain and the UK.

Well Michael Ledeen and Little Green Footballs are urging us all to fight back.

From The Corner:
Well, we can and should. In fact the idea immediately occurred to the readers of Charles of LGF who was kind enough to post the news about the Saudi boycott on his popular site. They recommended you buy not only the always delicious Danish butter cookies but also:

Danish Havarti cheese
Carlberg and Tuborg Beers.
Arla owns White Clover Dairy, a Wisconsin company, so buy that brand. [emphasis added]
Danish hams... baby back ribs, because they come from Denmark.
You shop online at The Danish Foodshop.


Wish I would have known this yesterday. The Empress and I went to the local grocery to restock our barren fridge and a block of baby swiss was on the list (Reubens, yummy!), I bought Steve's Cheese (as is usual) but had I known about the above it would have been White Clover cheese.
