So, the Muslim countries are boycotting Danish goods and Danish firms.
I believe we should start a PROcott here. Who knew the Danes had the balls? Hats off to them.

I already bought a tin box of danish cookies.

I'm not sure it is Danes as a whole who are showing balls. One relatively obscure and unrepresentative right wing Danish newspaper published some cartoons featuring Mohammed (ironically having previously not published cartoons about Christianity over fears about causing offence), and a bunch of Muslim clerics then toured the Middle East with said cartoons and a bunch of fabricated material stirring up trouble.

I think the Danes as a whole are a bit non-plussed that they are the subject of so much vitriol, especially as you couldn't hope to meet a more tolerant nation of people if you tried.
