Danish companies are loosing billions because of the Mohammed Cartoons. Danish food giant Arla Foods said in Copenhagen yesterday it was being targeted by the Saudi boycott because of the publication of the offensive cartoons.
Arla Foods is Europe?s second-largest dairy company and the leading Danish exporter to Saudi Arabia, where it sells an estimated two billion kroner ($328 million) worth of products every year.
?More and more supermarkets are taking our products off their shelves and don?t want fresh supplies because consumers no longer want to buy our brand,? Arla Foods spokesman Louis Honore told AFP. ?The situation is very serious.?
It has also been reported that the boycott has spread to other countries in the region. Kuwait is another example where employees at Arla has been insulted and attacked.

Saudi Arabia recalled its ambassador to Denmark on Thursday in a row about cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad published by a best-selling newspaper. A Saudi government spokesman said the ambassador had been recalled for talks following Denmark?s failure to deal with the insults to the Prophet. Some of the cartoons in Jyllands-Posten last September depicted him as a stereotype of an Islamic terrorist. Ambassadors from several Muslim countries complained to Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who had earlier said he could not tell papers what to print, or not to. Danish food producers Arla Foods said the anger sparked by the cartoons had prompted a boycott of its dairy products in Saudi Arabia. Arla director Finn Hansen said there had been calls for boycotting Danish products in Friday prayers and on Saudi television and in newspapers.
Yay Go Go Courage!!
