My Muslim Students Speak about the Danish Boycott

As is well known to regular readers of this blog, I left the US last summer to begin teaching at the American University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. This semester I teach three sections of strategic management courses. Each student in those classes is required to maintain his or her own blog.

...Each week I recommend up th three articles that the students may blog about. They are free, however, to choose any article or any topic beside those. This past week, one of the articles I recommended was one entitled "Effect of Danish Boycott Patchy" that appeared in the Saudi English daily, Arab News, on January 29th. As one might imagine, several students decided to write on this topic.

It is my privilege to present in "carnival" or "round-up" format their thoughts on this pressing matter. In no particular order I have summarized the post of my two undergraudate sections. A brief summary of my impressions of the posts can be found at the very end of the post. We all welcome thoughtful comments on these posts.
