Jordanian Islamists have called on the world's Muslims and Arabs to boycott Russian and Chinese products after the two countries vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on Syria.

Hammam Said, leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, said the Russian and Chinese decision shows "they are taking part in the killing of Syrian people."

Calling the vetoes an attack "against all Arabs and Muslims," the Muslim Brotherhood leader said boycotts would "support the Syrian people, who demand freedom and dignity."

Meanwhile, Yemeni Nobel peace laureate Tawakkul Karman told an international security conference in Munich that all countries should expel Syria's ambassadors and recall their diplomats from Damascus.

Morocco on February 5 called on all Arab countries to follow its lead and cut diplomatic ties with Damascus to protest the regime's crackdown, which has killed more than 6,000 people in 11 months.

As a matter of fact it does look like Hillary Clinton and the Jordanian Islamist in question are pursuing the same goal: she pressures Bulgaria into abstaining from buying Russian oil/gas, and the Jordanians are calling the Muslim nations to do the same. After all, it might really be a new "Holy Alliance" .-).

Russia is major exporter of wheat to Arab countries. Let them go ahead and boycot Russian wheat. Most muslims are already go hungry because of high wheat prices, so, maybe Arabs will multiply less as a result

Jack, I was poised to repeat my unanswered question to you from another recent Syrian veto article in which I asked how you would react if your daughter dated a Muslim. I now retract the question, as that last clause of yours implicitly answered it. Thanks.
