"The Pakistani Doctors Association announced a boycott of pharmaceutical drugs produced by European countries in response to the publication of insulting cartoons featuring Prophet Mohammed in the Danish newspaper, Jyllands-Posten.
Drugs specifically produced by Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Germany, and France will be boycotted according to the announcement.
This is a unanimous decision said Secretary-General Shahid Rao of the Penjub regional Doctors Association. All doctors in Pakistan reacted against the caricatures and until the countries listed apologize, Pakistan will use alternative medicines. " (Zaman)
It's still escalating and getting more bizarre by the day. Where are the adults?
I found one.
"Anyone offended by the content of a publication has a vast choice of democratic and respectful methods of seeking redress. The most obvious are not buying the publication, writing letters to the editor or expressing their opinions in other venues. It is also possible to use one?s free choice in a democracy to conduct a boycott of the publication, and even a boycott of firms dealing with it. Yet an indiscriminate boycott of all the country?s firms is simply uncalled for and counter-productive. We would be allowing the extremists on both sides to prevail, while punishing the government and the whole population for the actions of an unrepresentative irresponsible few."

Money Quote:
"....That is why Muslims cannot respond to Western jibes at the person of their Prophet except as they did to the Jyllens-Posten cartoons. I do not sympathize with scoffers but, like Benedict, I see doubt as an adversary to be won over, rather than as an enemy to be extirpated. I would not have drawn nor published these cartoons, but when the lines are drawn, I stand with Western freedom against traditional authority. I write these lines over a Carlsberg and shall drink no other lager until the boycott of Danish product ends."
Sounds like the dude!
