“This Is My Jihad”A Brief ReCap of Symbols Lately ‘Offensive to Islam.’ Div: Corporations and Charities. THE fast-food chain, Burger King, is withdrawing its ice-cream cones after the lid of the dessert offended a Muslim. The man claimed the design resembled the Arabic inscription for Allah, and branded it sacrilegious, threatening a "jihad". The chain is being forced to spend thousands of pounds redesigning the lid with backing from The Muslim Council of Britain. It apologised and said: "The design simply represents a spinning ice-cream cone." …He was not satisfied by the decision to withdraw the cones and has called on Muslims to boycott Burger King. He said: "This is my jihad. How can you say it is a spinning swirl? If you spin it one way to the right you are offending Muslims."(offending tasty treat here) Red Cross officials have been meeting in Switzerland to decide upon a new logo — and presumably, by implication, name — for their fine organisation. The logo in question is the red cross. And the problem with the cross is that it enrages Muslims. In the theatre of war, when most combatants see the red cross, they put their weapons down. Muslim combatants, though, have a tendency to pick theirs up and start shooting with even greater avidity… They want a secular, neutral symbol and have hit upon the idea of a red ‘crystal’, or diamond.
A logo on samples of upcoming Nike products appears to contain the word "Allah" written in Arabic. The Council on American-Islamic Relations is demanding an apology for what it considers a tremendous insult toward Muslims. Nike insists that the perception of Allah's name in the graphic design is strictly coincidental. For several days the rumours have been circulating that if the Coca Cola logo is viewed in a mirror or upside down, it appears to read in Arabic: "No to Mohammed," "No to Mecca." Again, this is only the weekly update to your ‘Corporations and Charities' files and is not inclusive of potentially offensive holidays, dictionary entries, soccer balls, school mascots, or other physical objects, visual representations, communications (verbal or otherwise), not receiving prior sanction. Thank You. The management. posted by Dr. Reo Symes at 09:45 PM
CommentsAs a human being, I'm offended by that King in the Burger King commercials. That guy is f'ing scary, and I have nightmares because o him. He should die. Thank you. Cheers, Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on September 17, 2005 10:49 PM
I guess Egyptians can't read -- or why else would they be susceptible to a rumor that Coke upside down says something offensive in Arabic? Leap of imagination my ass. Posted by: Toxic Granny on September 17, 2005 11:11 PM
If I was a gazzillionaire, I would market my own brand of tampons and sanitary napkins with some logo, label, or embossed design just to jihad those assholes back. Posted by: on September 17, 2005 11:19 PM
Ah, the muslim world... not just crazy, but borderline retarded, as well. Posted by: Russell Wardlow on September 17, 2005 11:19 PM
Ha! Pepsi has known about the Coke faux pas for years, which is why, when turned upside-down, it's logo reads "Death to the Joooos!" in Arabic. Posted by: Tim Higgins on September 17, 2005 11:41 PM
Pepsi's got it's own problems to worry bout, cause everyone knows Pepsi stand for Pay Every Penny to Support Israel Posted by: Dr. Reo Symes on September 17, 2005 11:53 PM
Hmm.. maybe they should have made the design look more like someone pissing on a crucifix, they would have ended up with an NEA grant.. Posted by: Tom on September 18, 2005 12:09 AM
appeared calling on Egyptians to boycott the drink on the grounds it is destroying their religion They are 100% correct of course - "Coka Cola and blue jeans" are the west's "secret weapon" for corrupting every single society we come in contact with. The CC&jeans are "gateway products" to lay them open to the real onslaught of cheap Sonys and porn that deliver the kill shot. McDonalds and Burger King are the "mop up" troops that eliminate any holdouts. Posted by: Tony on September 18, 2005 12:16 AM

FU*K THEM and their "jihad." Posted by: Redhand on September 18, 2005 12:39 AM
You know what's hilarious about this? If this were about Christians being offended, these companies would write them placating letters which are the equivalent of the corporate office telling them to take a hike. People would hear about the offended Christians and would react with either, "What? Those crazy religious extremists, trying to force their religion onto all of us" or "Good, I'm glad they're offended! They need to experience it for once!" But, because it's Muslims? Let's see if we can bend over and grab our ankles for them. Wait a minute . . . that's not funny at all. Posted by: Hal on September 18, 2005 01:19 AM
We need to start complaining about the Islamic branch of the Red Cross, the Red Crescent. Maybe they've paved the way for us to justify shooting at people waving that flag around. Posted by: bullwinkle on September 18, 2005 01:38 AM
Corporate America's overcome these hurdles before. GM had to sell the Chevy Nova under a different name in Mexico because "No va" means "No go" in Spanish. Posted by: Moonbat_One on September 18, 2005 02:39 AM

I teach American lit, beginning with the Pilgrims. EVERYTHING they wrote has to do with God and Christ's salvation. I know the day is coming when a Muslim student is offended by this curriculum. You'll see me on the news when I'm told I can't teach our historic literature because Muslims find it offensive. Posted by: goddessoftheclassroom on September 18, 2005 09:07 AM
Not true about the Chevy Nova selling under a different name in Mexico. Just another urban legend. http://www.snopes.com/business/misxlate/nova.asp Posted by: MTW on September 18, 2005 10:10 AM
Equally funny is the outcry about the Penn 9-11 memorial looking to SOME like a crescent. Heh. Simple solution: let the market take care of itself. Keep govt out of the religion business. And since that's already status quo, ignore any attempt to sell papers or TV ads by getting you all worked up about this. IOW, get a life. Posted by: tubino on September 18, 2005 11:17 AM
Equally funny is the outcry about the Penn 9-11 memorial looking to SOME like a crescent. Nah. I'd never have noticed. IF THEY HADN'T NAMED IT THE "CRESCENT OF EMBRACE." Dipshit. Posted by: S. Weasel on September 18, 2005 11:22 AM
Did anyone else notice that "Allah" in Arabic looks like a big hunk of sperm cells wriggling around? Posted by: John on September 18, 2005 04:52 PM
The Nova thing isn't true but whatever you don't name your kid C.O. if your last name is Jones then send him to Mexico to live. Posted by: bullwinkle on September 18, 2005 08:59 PM
Said it before and I'll say it again: Their alphabet is a fucking Rorshach test. Posted by: Dave Munger on September 18, 2005 11:21 PM
you forgot barbie dolls ... "They want a secular, neutral symbol and have hit upon the idea of a red ‘crystal’, or diamond. " This, actually, isn't that bad an idea. Would resolve the Maden David issue too ... two birds with one stone ... Posted by: Knemon on September 19, 2005 04:54 PM

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals. The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite. Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
