Judith A. Klinghoffer reports that the “Buy Danish” campaign, started on a completely ad hoc basis by blogs (including LGF), is making a real economic difference. A translation of an article from Danish paper Jyllands-Posten:

Buy Danish campaign exploding on the Internet

On Google more than 100.000 pages is the result when searching for “Buy Danish”

The giant markets in the USA and Germany can give Danish companies a boost that supersedes the losses from the Arab boycott, shows the latest predictions from Arla, Lego and Carlsberg. This is confirmed by Danish professor Dominique Bouchet: “Certainly it can have an effect - the current situation is very unusual, and many people oppose the radical Islamic reaction and boycott. ”

One of the many web pages pledging for a support in favor of Danish products is The American Thinker: “Tell the world that you love Havarti Cheese, Lego, George Jensen design etc.” the editor writes.

Many fear that if the Islamic boycot proves its effect, it will be used as a weapon again and again.

Mmm. Havarti grilled cheese sandwich, on honey wheat bread.
