Effect of Denmark and Netherlands on Germany

, Herbert		4-7, 2008, 10:37 hr
Currently in some muslim countries there are protests and boycots against Denmark and the Netherlands. It all began with the Cartoons of a Danish cartoonist and a movie by a Dutch politician. Two people that searched for the edge of freedom of speech.
It does effect both Danish and Dutch economies and image abroad. But as Germany lies between both countries, does it have any effect and what should be the signal given by German politics and multinational (carbrands and electronica, sold worldwide) to the muslim world?

It is strange... also in Germany a lot of neo nazi's are quite active, but as it is not a hot item at this moment (is now all about Christians agains the Muslims) a cartoonist in NL and DK have more effect.

The signal? We life in a free country where you can express yourself the way you want and that freedom is one of the most important things in our society. So be strong and don't let anyone else decide what to do. Especially when they do it by causing fear.
