Danish export was seriously hit after the row with Muhammad cartoons earlier this year.
However, it would be wrong to say that the publication of the cartoons caused the hit. The cartoons were published 30 September 2005. Not until at the end of January, the first Moslem country started boycotting Danish products.
What caused the hit was the orchestrated response by a large number of Moslems. They were told how to react, and they reacted accordingly. And the reason they were told so, was because the Danish government was unable to handle the issue properly.
The annoying thing is that the Danish government claims it was "right". Of course they were right. That is not the point. The point is that if everyone stands by their right, chaos will reign.
