“This is so utterly silly,” writes Sudanese Thinker [1]after the Sudanese president orders people to boycott Danish goods: “Okay so let’s see. First, a Danish newspaper prints a bunch of cartoons depicting the Prophet (which is nothing new). Next thing we know, Islamists mobilize anger and all hell breaks lose, to the point of making you wonder whether these guys actually worship God or his Prophet. Fast forward more than a year later, and some Muslim nuts get caught in Denmark plotting to kill the cartoonist, to which the response is a symbolic middle finger in the form of a cartoon republication.”
