Muslim boycott of products leaves many without options

I am stunned that the Muslim community has demanded an apology from the Danish government for the cartoons published in a Danish newspaper.

Danes enjoy the same right to free speech as Americans and every other free nation. Those cartoons were published in Denmark where it is not a crime, and no apology is necessary.

Furthermore, if Muslim countries are threatening to boycott European products, they will significantly cut down on their supply of many goods, including weapons. It is either that or buy from the next largest producer of military goods other than the United States, Israel. A Muslim buying something from a Jew? Preposterous.
