Muslim money talks
The BBC is reporting that a Danish firm has taken out advertisements in various Middle Eastern newspapers to disassociate itself from the cartoons of the Prophet (sall’ Allahu ‘alaihi wa sallam), fearing that the bottom would drop out of its Arab markets:

Which goes to show that using the proper channels sometimes really does work. (A brother once told me that in this country, a company marketed trainers which had some sort of logo which bore resemblance to the name of Allah ta’ala, and a Muslim organisation bought out the entire supply on the condition that the company refrained from selling any more of them. Some idiot then tried to burn down the factory, and the company then flooded the market with them!)
