Middle east countries boycotting Indian consumer goods for Insulting the Prophet of Islam

[Corruptistan]

Obviously money overrides principles.

That is not exclusive to the GCC who are very pragmatic indeed and have business acumen.
This is the rule of ALL nation states with no exception. Some like to use the media and cheap populist statements to make it sound like otherwise. Erdogan and the Mullahs in Iran are very good at that in the Muslim world for instance. Many uneducated Muslims buy their populistic nonsense but are quick to blame Arabs, lol.

Armenia over Muslim Azerbaijan when it comes to Iran, Syria (secular Al-Assad butcher good), Turkey and Erdogan's constant political turncoats are known among all etc. Yet only Arabs are blamed by that lot. Hard to take serious.

I am pro-China but look at the silence of the Muslim world when it comes to the Uyghurs, Pakistan included. We don't know exactly what is going on there but it is pretty safe to say that Uyghur Muslims are not exactly treated very good.

So all this cheap outcry is what it is, a joke. As is the current state of the Muslim world, I am afraid.

So, in case of Turkey it was semi official ban on Turkish goods and that's why it worked, right?

In case of India, there isn't any official/semi official ban yet, so, is it safe to assume that these boycotts won't have any effect on Indian exports to GCC?

Judged by indian responce on initial uproar, frictions will continue and in that case some more serious actions will follow.
You noticed that their ship with grain became "ghost ship" that nobody wants, i am slightly optimistic that their other bussineses will suffer further until further notice.

i take it with grain of salt with uyghur oppression. west sound alarm bells about human rights but hey this doesn't stop business trade. plus china is bout state control it not really anti Muslim, it just that china needs obedience from citizens.

Sure, there is no oppression of Muslims in China at all. Uyghur's just made it all up. Sorry, I don't buy that. Anyway this is not the topic of the thread, I was just trying to highlight that all this at the end of the day matters nothing and that the current state of the Muslim world, is a sorry one. We are all hypocrites at the end of the day but this is how it is in the modern world with nation states and their quest for money/influence. Principles can go to hell.

 

[fatman17]

These goods boycotts are storm in a teacup. They come and go after a while. Nothing changes.

If anybody is serious, they will simply officially put a ban on exports of other countries in their markets.

Exactly. You beat me to it

Egypt in talks with India on wheat-for-goods swap deal to fight shortage: Minister

RIYADH: Egypt is in discussions to import wheat from India in a deal that may include the export of products such as fertilizers in return, Bloomberg reported citing Egypt’s Supply Minister, Aly El-Moselhy. According to the report, Moselhy met with the Indian ambassador to Egypt in Cairo on...

That I can agree with but remember that every state and their media will exaggerate if it will suit their interests. Similarly we will exaggerate/highlight everything bad that goes on in India and vice versa.

Genuine Muslim solidarity and consensus actions (treating everyone equally irrespective of gains, geopolitical interests) is impossible to occur in an modern age where nation states rule supreme and economics.

Why is it that Arabs, Turks and Persians are rivals despite all of them being Muslim and sharing more in common than the opposite? It is all about ego, influence and supremacy of state x or y. Muslims or not.

To begin with why is the GCC even divided into all those kingdoms, sultantes, sheikdoms, emirates when they are more or less the same people? Why are there 20 + Arab states? Why is Malaysia and Indonesia divided? List is endless. Nationalists in those modern nation states are willing to die to defend Western-made borders against people that they share everything with or people who are the same.

That is why I long ago stopped having any illusions about anything in relation to the Muslim world.

Unless we develop a genuine federal entity or something alike the EU at least. The only working such union in the Muslim world is the GCC. The OIC is a joke for example.

Pakistan first should be the motto of our people until then.

Their wheat ship was first rejected by Turkey for something called Red Bugs/Red worms and then Egypt did the same.

I am surprised why did India export wheat when they have already put a ban on wheat export? May be it sailed way earlier than official export ban. Or may by India tried to sell their rotten wheat to others taking advantage of wheat shortage situation. Or may be wheat was fine and Turkey/Egypt both rejected as a punishment. Who knows...

Why all those side irrelevant discussion and trolling????

Every Muslim and Human should boycott Indians goods, as simple as that.

Is that really hard to perform???

 

[BananaRepublicUK]

Then where'll they invest? In Pakistan

They will buy more football clubs.

This time, it is two Indian BJP political leaders who insulted. How about France?

By the way, why Muslims should even visit France or another Christian country? Muslims should boycott all of them because they eat pork and drink alcohol.

Now! Now!

French can live as they wish.

But they must let us live like we wish.

Extreme secularism is as bad as Wahhabism.

Sufism teaches plurality.

You are spouting Wahhabism.

If French want Muslims to leave France - first they need to leave Muslim countries. France bombed Libya and installed religious fundamentalists in its place.

Federal entity i was going to say same thing. like Muslim oil rich countries should have collectedly pick a Muslim country with large population with no oil and turn them into Germany of east or next china. but instead want to suck up to west and buy overpriced product and services with no transfer of tech or training. iran can do with pakistan but unfortunately No.

How old are you? 10? First of all there will be no such boycotts (lasting) anywhere in the Muslim world. If there will be any (other than cheap political statements that we have seen already) they will last a few days and in a few weeks time everything will be forgotten. It is not exactly news that Hindu fanatics are ruling India why are some parts of the Muslim world first waking up now? You don't think that all Muslim leaders know what is going on in India? They know but as I wrote they prefer serving their nation states and earn money (economics, trade etc.).

Talking about the state of the Muslim world, internal rivalries, hypocrisy of our leaders and people, is not irrelevant to this news or overall at all. Better to burry our heads in the sand.

No wonder that our state as a nation is a joke......

They will buy more football clubs.

There is no such thing as "Wahhabism". You sound like a clueless and ignorant anti-Muslim Westerners who blames imaginary "Wahhabis" for every ill in the Muslim world and use it as a buzz word. A "Wahhabi" has become a slur word for Muslims who follow the Quran, Ahadith and who don't follow innovations, worship graves, some absurd Sufi rituals, blindly follow "Saints and Mullahs" etc. Basically orthodox/traditional Muslims are now demonized, lol.

Islam is not for everyone and nobody is forced to follow Islam. Quality over quantity.

An EU/GCC like model is an absolute necessity for the Muslim world. Federalism is not realistic so I will leave that aside.

At least for regional blocs to emerge. Pakistan and Afghanistan need to unify economically once Afghanistan stabilizes and we wake up from our sleep as a nation. That would be a good start.
