Danish Muslim boycott of "Jewish" cookies

You know it is nonsense season why you see a story like this:

Courtesy of European Jewish Press:

A group of Danish Muslims refuse to eat traditional “Jewish” cookies because they feel offended by the name. According to the daily Danish newspaper B.T., Ole Poulsen, head of the public food consumer department said that the Muslim refusal to buy the cookies could have an effect on sales.

"If this will be the case, then we would be obliged to do something about it," he declared.

Of course, this story only has quotes from the paper and doesn't actually name a single Muslim who refuses to eat these cookies.

European Jewish Press further adds:

Jewish cookies, which are made with cinnamon and hazelnuts and actually have nothing particularly Jewish about them, are very popular in Denmark during the pre-Christmas period.

So what is the point of this story? Sometimes Jewish media can be just as bad as others in jumping to all sorts of conclusions without actually checking facts and not actually backing up a story like this with some real facts.

Why should it seem strange that a newspaper should report the intended rebranding of a cookie in order not to offend the potential Moslem market, but without evidence of one complaint?

In Britain, one local authority now cannot have images of pigs anywhere ON THE BASIS OF ONE SOLE MOSLEM COMPLAINT
