Norway threatened by Muslim boycott
An international association of Muslim clergy have threatened to boycott
products from Norway and Denmark, after Nordic media have published drawings of
the Prophet Muhammed.

The warning was made in a statement issued in Cairo on Saturday: The
International Union of Muslim Clergy asks the leaders of Norway and Denmark to
show a firm stand against the continuing attacks on the Muslim nation and the
Prophet.
If not, the Union will be forced to urge millions of Muslims all over the world
to boycott Danish and Norwegian products, said the group, which is headed by the
Egyptian Yusef al-Quardawi.
The
Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, in September last year, published a series of
drawings made by artists of how they believed the prophet Muhammed had looked.
The
drawings were, in January, also published by the Norwegian monthly Magazinet.
