Danish Cartoons Fall-Out Continues
* Arla Foods, a company in the news last year for the economic kidney punch it received due to boycotts in Muslim countries because of the caricatures of Muhammed that were run in Denmark's
Jyllands-Posten newspaper,
may be sold to its biggest shareholder. There's something refreshing in seeing other causes listed for Arla's latest troubles, such as the size of their pension and increased competition in Europe.
* An American newspaper columnist
points out, rightly I think, that Germany's attempt to extend its Holocaust revisionist speech laws to all members of the EU will be colored by claims made during the height of the Danish Cartoons controversy about the Western's selective tolerance for free speech.
