The Boycott List

assalamualaikum wrt.. peace be upon u..

i've been looking through a complete list of consumer boycott because every now & then, there're new found-out products that should be boycotted. so, this is my personal list especially of products which students @ russia-malaysia like me usually use/consume.
[when i was writing this, i could not access the famous boycott web source -inminds. so i use other sources]

hopefully, others may found this helpful as well. :)

~B4 WE START~

this list is endless. and i dont want u ppl feel too much burdened until the beauty/mercy of islam is faded away. so, here're some guidelines b4 we start our boycott.
  1. why r u doing this? for muslims, this is deeply related to our faith (iman) and our brotherhood connection with our brothers-sisters @ Palestine. and for all those concerned citizens, this is all about humanity.
  2. start small stay dedicated. maybe u can start with 3 boycotted brands that u use to buy for 3 months period. and the next 3 months, u add 3 more addition to ur pesonal boycott list.
  3. palestine issue also needs 'adjuvant therapy' besides boycott - doa/prayer, infaq/charity, invite others to join as well :)
