A quote from Egyptian blogger “The Big Pharaoh,” 6 February 2006

The sign [in the three Egyptian outlets of French supermarket chain Carrefour] tells customers that Carrefour decided to stop selling Danish products in an attempt to “face the wave of ridicule that Danish papers are directing towards the Islamic faith”. Notice how the sign says “Danish papers”. In other words, the sign makes it appear as if there is a systematic effort by several Danish papers to ridicule and insult Islam!!! And this is definitely not the case. I am wondering whether Carrefour’s French managers have read a French translation of this Arabic sign!

The sign also informs the customer to report any Danish product he/she has bumped into and it will be immediately removed.
