Who would have imagined that a cartoon can do so much damage? With embassy fires, volient clashes and even deaths reported, one has to wonder what is the world coming to when a simple drawing can have such unimaginable consquences.
I agree with most of the islamic world that the cartoons were of bad taste. And probably, placing a lawsuit against the company would be a good justification against it. However, the cartoon become a classic case of tipping point, where the full effect has come to realization after almost six months and a few reprints. I will not be suprised if a world war breaks out due to this (It is important to note that wars have broken for lesser reasons!!).
Still jokes aside, the only benefiters of this campaine against danish dairy food industry (boycotting of products) are the fundamentalists as well as saudi dairy industry which is welcoming all the extra business revenue generated. (Denmark and finish companies traditionally have market shares of nearly 50%, if not more!!) Not that they would be infavor of any protests, atleast officially. I am not sure but i believe saudi royal family has some stake in the dairy industry.
