Terrorist toys Dangerous play ... a range of Lego-style figures that include a gun-toting terrorist have been launched in the UK.
The tiny figures - decked out as a follower of 9/11 mastermind Osama Bin Laden - have a removeable mask and are fully kitted out with a rocket launcher, assault rifle and grenades.
The range has been slammed by religious leaders.
Mohammed Shaffiq, of Muslim organisation The Ramadhan Foundation, branded the toy “absolutely disgusting”.

If my kids needed to get to the roof to drop bricks on that little guy, I would go to the garage to get the ladder.

My boy has been into Legos for about 6yrs.. When he first started playing with them, there weren't many guns that I can remember. Now there are guns out the wazoo.

Mohammed Shaffiq, of Muslim organisation The Ramadhan Foundation, branded the toy “absolutely disgusting”.On the other had, Mr. Saffiq was not in any way offended by the murders of scores of real, live, human beings in last weeks IslamoFacist massacres.

Oh No! Nazi Lego "glorification"!!! /s
To: Sub-Driver
Why is this guy upset? The little LEGO terrorist doesn’t have “Muslim” written on him.
What is he tacitly admitting?

Good point.
----------------------
Now heres some lego "communist glorification" /s (If you saw the latest Indiana Jones movie the bad guys were soviet agents)
Or maybe, once again, when kids play they should be able to know who the bad guys are...

It's hard to keep up with the UK mindset nowadays, so, I wonder...
Do they have guns because they're bad guys, or are they bad guys because they have guns?
Are they making a set of good guys (soldiers or police) to fight the bad guys? If so, do the good guys have guns?
Finally, when will these be outlawed as either too violent or disrepectful of Islam?
