Default Saudis to boycott Danish drugs

I have decided to post a story making headlines here in Denmark, at least once a week. It might be of interest to some here to get stories from outside the US.

Anyway, the story for today is that the Saudis are probably going to extend their boycott of some Danish products:
Quote:
The fallout from the media’s reprinting of the Mohammed cartoons in February has not yet subsided in the Middle East, made apparent by yet another probable boycott of Danish products – this time medicines from Danish pharmaceutical companies, according to Saudi Gazette newspaper.

Saudi Arabian importers and retailers have ordered the nation’s hospitals and pharmacies to boycott all Danish drugs, e-mailing a list containing 41 medicines produced by companies such as Novo Nordisk, Lundbeck and Leo Pharma to those facilities and to the Saudi health ministry.

The new boycott follows a four month-long stoppage on the sale and import of Danish dairy products, effective in several Muslim countries including Saudi Arabia.

A Danish cartoonist makes fun of their prophet so the deny themselves medical care. Sounds like Darwin in action to me.

Thank you for the pertinent and insightful commentary. Given the success of this experiment, I'll try posting a news story from Denmark more often than once a week!
