French Retailer Boycotts Danish Products

Pathetic...

20060212Carrefour01.jpg


Publishing the cartoons was an act of free expression. By "standing with" the Muslims who are protesting the cartoons this French retailer, Carrefour, is standing with them against the ideals of free speech.

And that's sad.

Read the bottom of the pictured sign line closely:

 

"Carrefour don’t carry Danish products or English Grammer primers."

Heard they are planning on using the available space as the new "Muslim Hertiage" section. IED’s, Christian head on a stick, flammable national flags, etc.. etc…

Bryan, "Carrefour" may be plural in French making the statement gramatically correct… Like saying "We don’t carry..."

 

In either event, this is typical of the stereotypical french mindset… Political Correctness is more important than freedom of speech!

"this French retailer, Carrefour, is standing with them against the ideals of free speech.”

As is the restaurant down the street from my house that sells “American” fries.

That’s not even in the same book. Unless you’re trying to say that the French stand for the ideals of free speech. If that is the case, I’d like to hear the argument.

The French caving to the bad guys? Who could have imagined that?

The picture concerns a Carrefour franchise in Egypt, it is the local shop owners who made that decision.

 If by this you understand "the french", or "stereotypical french mindset", you have a huge imagination.....
