Reactionary is a great word to describe both sides of this "issue".
This is their dumb way of 'supporting' Denmark.

Like the blog I posted a link to said:

Let’s support our Danish friends, let’s buy Danish!!

Yes, this is again about the Jylland-Posten cartoons. Muslims call for Boycott of Danish products to punish Denmark for those famous cartoons depicting Muhammad (published by Jylland-Posten well before last Christmas).
I guess they're all running around buying Danish milk and flip-flops hoping it'd save the fucking economy. Denmark lost about 5 million so far, and that's just from the boycotting of dairy products. We'll see what happens when they've literally removed everything Danish from the shelves. OH NOES.

HOLLA' AT YOUR FRIENDS.
