If there was an international barrage of jokesters who made fun of Islam (i.e. burkas, beards, turbans, yadayada), not so much completely offensive stuff, but things like Leno would come up with; I think it could diffuse the PC attitude in a short period of time. They could be the Rodney Dangerfields if enough folks decided to refuse to take them seriously. What harm could it do since they already plan to kill the infidels? I'm sure Hitler couldn't take a joke (on himself).

I wonder who will be beheaded over this.

Or maybe just a special Lego set commemorating the Crusades or (perhaps) the Battle of Tours.

thank you. I tried to get it over here but it wouldn't take. Hopefully the above link i just posted will work. Someone did a good job of dubbing the music.

The Lego Group wants to stress that there is no such Lego product,... Pussys.

"The picture of the box is computer manipulated and in the picture Lego elements are used to depict the Prophet Mohammed in a situation of a sexual nature - with a severely offensive text,"What's the severely offensive text? I see nothing in the pic that's not historically accurate. (Did Mohammed have 23 wives or was it some other number?)
Anyway, at least The Brick Testament still stands.

From the article:
"Possibilities of stopping this use of Lego products and brands are being investigated, and the Lego Group is collaborating with the Danish police in the matter," Simonsen said.So what's next abolishing the use of crayons to draw pictures?

I prefer "police be upon him," m'self.
To: LibWhacker
So if Lego didn't make the set, and I have no doubt they did not, it is way to clever. Why the apology. My apology would be something along the lines of Lego makes no such playset,we have no control over it, deal with it you thin skinned goat #*@$#&.

Exactly, that's what I was thinking.
Now we have to apologize to the muzzies for things we didn't even DO!?
There's no way Lego should have apologized. In fact, their apology almost makes it more believable that such a set exists.
Unbelievable.
When do we apologize for not being muslim?
