As if this is so hard to comprehend. (Hint) the fastest growing population in France is Muslim. Do you think the French have the backbone to not have a sign like this in their store? Does it surprise anyone that these socialists, as usual, are bending over backwards to please the nut element in their society? Yes, it’s a grand conspiracy. As if this is so hard to comprehend.

The story said, from memory, that the photo came from a store in the Middle East. Carrefour attempted to justify its appeasement by saying the decision to boycott Danish goods in Middle Eastern stores had been taken by its Middle Eastern partner.

Carrefour has chains all over the world. It's most likely not a Carrefour in France but in an arab country, because you would never (not yet anyhow) have a sign with THAT prominent Arabic in a French Carrefour in France... Let alone English and no French text.... So it has to be one in an Arab country. Dave, any info on where this photo was taken? Never the less, this is absolutely ridiculous. (And this Arab chain is lying, since my sister in France says they still carry Danish products in her Carrefour.....) I don’t think it’s fake. Carrefour has chains all over the world.

Why would the main French hypermarket chain have a sign in English? Surely it would be in French if it is real. This looks like a fake.
