The wonderful Judith Klinghoffer has it right: we must all support Denmark against the intimidation of the crazy muslim fundamentalists. And it’s one of those times when we can do well by doing good: Eat Danish! Wear Danish! Danish furniture is the coolest!

Here’s what Judith says in response to the Muslim boycott of Denmark, all because a Danish newspaper dared to publish a cartoon that was, in Muslim eyes, insufficiently respectful of the Prophet:

The Muslim countries have chosen to pressure liberal little Denmark in order to teach the media and governments which stand by them a lesson, which does not bode well for free speech or satire. Kuwait has joined the Saudi boycott (the Saudi market alone is worth 1.2 billion) and I suspect the rest will follow. So, here is a plea from my Danish friends:
“If you americans look with this great sympathy on our case, couldn’t you then raise a consumer support of DK in the US? The opposite of a boycott. A movement of: “Buy Danish!” Please?
“You can easily eat and digest all our famous danish cheese at your millions of breakfast-tables from Seattle to Atlanta. Then the boycott (which is escalating fast down there now) will be harmless.”

Well, we can and should. In fact the idea immediately occurred to the readers of Charles of LGF who was kind enough to post the news about the Saudi boycott on his popular site. They recommended you buy not only the always delicious Danish butter cookies but also:

Danish Havarti cheese

Carlberg and Tuborg Beers.

Arla owns White Clover Dairy, a Wisconsin company, so buy that brand.

Danish hams… baby back ribs, because they come from Denmark.
