CINCINNATI (Reuters) - A car commercial proclaiming a jihad on the U.S. auto market and offering "Fatwa Fridays" with free swords for the kids is offensive and should not be aired, Muslim leaders said on Sunday.
The radio advertisement for the Dennis Mitsubishi car dealership in Columbus, Ohio, has "a whole jihad theme," said Adnan Mirza, director of the Columbus office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
"They are planning on launching a jihad on the automotive market and their representatives would be wearing burqas ... ," Mirza said. "They mentioned the pope in there and also about giving rubber swords out to the kiddies -- really just reprehensible-type comments."
Details of the radio ad, which has not yet been broadcast, have been reported in the local media, but officials at the dealership declined to comment about the content of the radio spot.
Two employees at the dealership said they had been deluged with calls about the commercial.
"The ad has never been released, it is not out for public listening," said one employee who declined to give his name. He would not say whether the dealership had changed its mind about airing the commercial.
Tokyo-based Mitsubishi Motors Corp. could not immediately be reached for comment.
Mirza said several local radio stations had already rejected the ad and he hoped the controversy would convince the dealership to rethink its sales strategy.
He also said the Council on American-Islamic Relations would likely contact the dealer to "offer some kind of cultural or sensitivity awareness training."
The religion of perpetual outrage is at it again I see.
I'm in the market for a new vehicle and only wish I lived down there. I would buy one from this dealership in a second!
Dirka dirka, salmon and scallops JIHAD!
WBNS-FM is another Sunny 95. PC chicks and girly-men and soccer moms who can't stomach a fight of any kind.
I am so glad I have XM in my car.
As for the Wolfes, they brought in that whole Cleveland cadre (Ben Marrison and company to run the paper.) Now they hate guns and love gays.
Link to the video????
No, what is 'reprehensible is Muslims burning and dragging DEAD soldiers through the streets. This is NOTHING compared to that!!! The commercial might hurt your feelings but it sure as hell doesn't KILL YOUR FAMILY (like so many Muslims declare they are willing to do to mine!).
Obviously not high enough to make the worthless b@stards all die of a stroke, is it?
Everyone is running down to take advantage of Fatwah Friday!

Maybe I'll just give him a call and have him deliver one to me. I can afford it.
Go for it. I've been saying for a long time that carefully selecting where we spend our money these days can go a long way in making a point, and it's rather nice when you can afford to do so, isn't it?
I would buy one from this dealership in a second!
I am quite sure they can arrange to have it shipped to you, as it is done all the time and the cost is relatively modest. Go for it and show your support!
No Jesus, no peace. Know Jesus, know peace!
It's Fatwa Friday! Free swords for the kids ...
Upset AGAIN ?
You Nailed It!
Yes it is.

From your Screen name I must assume that you know what it takes to make money. I sure do.
It takes hardwork.
Nothing more, nothing less. The American Dream is still alive and well.
IF you'll "Work" for it.
