People around the world are using economic pressure in protest against political decisions by calling for boycotting products from certain countries. With more countries being constantly added to the boycott list, Egyptian blogger Tarek shares the following novel idea. Boycott the world, pleads the blogger.
Tarek writes:
قاطعوا المنتجات الدنماركية بسبب الرسوم المسيئة
و المنتجات الهولندية بسبب الأفلام التي تسخر من الدين
و المنتجات الأمريكية بسبب معاملتهم الغير إنسانية للعرب
و المنتجات البريطانية بسبب تفتيشهم للبابا شنودة في المطار
و المنتجات الصينية بسبب عدم إيمانهم بأي من الديانات السماوية
و المنتجات المصرية لأن بعض الناس يسبون الدين لبعض حين يتشاجرون
لذلك و إيمانا بدور هذه المدونة في حماية الأديان السماوية و الأخلاق الحميدة
فإننا ندعوكم أن تقاطعوا العالم
قاطعوا العالم يا عالم
Boycott Danish products because of the offensive cartoons
And Dutch products because of films which ridicule religion
And American products because of the inhumane way in which they treat Arabs
And British products because they searched Pope Shenuda at the airport
And Chinese products because they don't believe in any of the monotheistic religions
And Egyptian products because some people swear at the religions of others when they get into fights
This is why, stemming from the belief of this blog, to protect monotheistic religions and good manners,
I call upon you to boycott the world!
Boycott the entire world.
