Religion of Silly Seething

Here’s a followup to yesterday’s post about a Muslim Burger King employee who threatened a jihad over a design for an ice cream package that resembled the Arabic symbol for “Allah.”

Burger King promptly capitulated and removed the product from their stores.

Today The Sun published a picture of the dastardly dessert. (Hat tip: zulubaby.)

These Muslims throw around Jihads like my Italian grandmother threw around the "evil eye". Alot.

[BenLurkin]

This is a joke, right?

I mean -- if this kind of thing became commonplace, there would be reasonable outlet for resulting hatred of Americans for muslims.

Burger King does not accept Emails. With policies of immediate surrender, it's no wonder.

MUSLIMS ENRAGED!!

And the sun rises in the east.....

The ice cream lid on the right seems to have some sexual overtones to it.

[Casekirchen]

Looks like upside down McArches to me

[surely_you_jest]

This is just stupid.

And somewhat predictable when you look at Arabic "worm writing".

Do they take offense whenever they come across a "steaming mound" because it resembles "Allah" as represented in worm writing? And who do they bitch to about that? Fertilizer companies? Democrats? Bull$h!t artists? Where does it end?

[js1138]

Are thy asserting that the icon representing Allah is an object of worship?

[nicmarlo]

oh brother!

Suitable for transfer to toilette paper.

If any Company had the courage to tell these nimrods to just bugger off, they'd earn my eternal consumer loyalty.

Screw the Muslims.

And so I asked myself..."What's a good Muslim doing in a place that sells bacon burgers, anyway?"

[highlander_UW]

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.”

This just in...Allah is a false god that began when a unknown time traveler accidentally dropped a Burger King ice cream lid while visiting the 7th century that was subsequently discovered by Muhammad.

That looks an awful lot like the Washington Senators/Nationals logo.

Where are our intrepid artists, so willing to challenge the existing order by means of exhibits intended to "offend" and "provoke discussion" and "raise questions" when it comes to the islamo-world?

I mean, crucifixes in urine and imagery of the Blessed Virgin spattered with excrement were just peachy when it came to the treatment of Christianity.

Will the artistic community step up to the plate and "raise questions" about the Islamic religion? After all, it (or branches of it) condone a two-track society in which women are afforded second-class status, cannot own property, and are subjected to gruesome mutilation of their sexual organs.

Where are the Korans submerged in urine?

Where are the Korans spattered in feces?

I await the first of the artists who will show his or her courage by challenging the Islamic world as they did the Christian world.

As a lover of ice cream, I am offended that they the image of ice cream as a symbol for Allah.

[Mr. Mojo]

The guy threatened "jihad" over a swirling design on an ice cream lid?

Every time Westerners apologize like madmen and accomodate Islamists' every wish every time 'jihad" is screamed is yet another nail in the coffin of Western Civ.

[Michael.SF.]

I usually do not go to Burger King, but now I just might.

[SeeRushToldU_So]

I checked scrappleface, so this must be real and the mooslums only approve of beheadings of infidels. Everything else that they think is 8th century. I wish they would all die and go away.
