Is it enough to boycott Danish butter and consider this weak step as victory over what was done toward Prophet Muhammad (PTUI peace be upon him)?

First of all, this is not the issue of victory for the Prophet because God has already protected His message. We are trying to get victory for our dignity and ourselves. God protected the Prophet until His message spread all over. The cartoons in the Danish newspaper were directed toward us and not toward the Prophet.

We do not need to issue letters of condemnation, but we do need to take some action. We need decisions made at the government level. We need to put the butter in the fire not inside the refrigerator. All Muslim countries should call upon their Danish ambassadors to tell the one thing only: To stop this mess in one week or else go home. The decision should be united in all Muslim countries and not the decision of one country. We do not need to use the language of diplomacy.

If we did not take serious actions to protect our dignity against the Danish then their ambassadors will be the first to despise us. They read their newspapers inside their embassies under diplomatic protection. If the response would be to boycott Danish butter, then this itself would be deserving of ridicule in a cartoon. We need instead to take an action that affects a countryÂ’s policy.

We want to tell them that we respect Moses and Jesus and all Prophets. We want them to stop this nonsense. We do not want to be known as the nation that stopped eating Danish butter. Why is it that when our dignity is offended our first reaction is to think about our stomachs?
