Saudis Demand McDonald’s Be Punished For Happy Meal Toy That Insults Muhammed

The people of Saudi Arabia are furious with the McDonald’s fast food chain for a toy which they say desecrates the name of Muhammed, the prophet of Islam. They are demanding retribution.

According to the Arabic news website, Kermalkom.com,

“[the McDonald's fast food restaurant] abused the Prophet Muhammad by placing his name at the base of a toy that is being distributed as part of the Happy Meal, a toy which steps on the name ‘Muhammad.’”

The toy is a blue super hero on a blue base. The toy looks like a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger samurai warrior. The toy stand on one of its legs and the other leg hangs over the side of the base. When a lever is pressed the toy’s other leg smahes against the base of the toy in a stomping motion.

The Saudis are claiming that the base of the toy, where it stomps its foot, is covered with the name Muhammed. They claim the name is written several times in circles all over the base so every time it stomps it is stomping on Muhammed.

[Hodar]

How about offering them a 50 cent coupon on a McRib sandwich?

[Milagros]

Is happiness = anti-Muhammed?

[cableguymn]

Sorry folks.. My give a damn is busted..

Get back to me when Mohamed is in a jar of piss.

[Sirius Lee]

If true, this is awesome! What’s so special about the name of a 6h century sand pirate? How is this any different than an action figure that stomps on the name “Adolph”?

[Eye of Unk]

The cult of fear and stupid.

Just like Obamas campaign motto.

[SERKIT]

The first fatwa was from from Moochelle to reduce fat.
The second fatwa may be to decapitate Ronald McDonald for blaspheme.
The Religion of Perpetual Hurt Feelings can't take a joke.

[MinuteGal]

Religion aside, this was just a plainly-dumb business move and shows a lack of control on the part of upper management.

Islam is always at war with Islam

McDonald did not do a nice enough rendition of Islam for another sort of whahabi islam..

There, so, by embracing islamic moderation, we have engaged ourselves further into the islam vanity furball, accepted the beatings and the extremists now can argue with us the merits of our practices... until it all reaches a point where the “perfect mahdi” faggotness is fought for and claimed for.

Islam is not peace, it is the highway to hell and more beatings.

[hoagy62]

I’ll have to see a picture of the toy in question before I believe this. It seems like an utter farce.

[stockpirate]

Must go to McD’s and buy happy meal today!

[JudgemAll]

They have free oil, now they want free hamburgers. Islam is 6th century progressed liberalism, suing for the best PC practice, surrendering to more and more extreme forms of abuse as we have gone the slippery slope of “moderation”.

[silverleaf]

perhaps the Wahhabi's would be mollified by a pink power ranger in burka who would be stoned if not purchased with a male chaperone?

[kevcol]

[cableguymn]

There is one at the linked to story.

[ConradofMontferrat]

GOTTA GET ME ONE!

GOTTA GET MA BUNCH!!

WHERE CAN I GET ME ONE?

I’LL PAY A BUNCH!

Just Damn, bet they’ll go for a fortune on ebay.

[JudgemAll]

No wonder Zero was bowing to WHahab terrorist leaders of Saudi Arabia. His deeply offended wife wants free hamburgers too, Alal perfect PC. This is exactly what Obama is doing, suing MeekyD for vanities and frivolities of pimping rights. They dont even have to go to the sophistications of communist scientific antireligious snobery PC.

[PuzzledInTX]

Incredible! As ‘Muhammed’ is the most popular boys name in the world, how can the Mussies know which Muhammed the toy is referring to (if anyone at all)?

[Babashane]

yep. Such a weak powerless god he is too that they feel like they have to defend him.

[Straight Vermonter]

Religion aside, this was just a plainly-dumb business move and shows a lack of control on the part of upper management.

Or it is a random design that these folks perceive as the word Mohammed, much like the people see the Virgin Mary on a taco shell. Look at the Nike shoes with the word air written out in a flame design that supposedly looks like the word Allah. They got all worked up about tat one too.

[madison10]

Those people are just plain weird...rather like the good people of Salem, Massachusetts who saw witches around every corner.

[cableguymn]

when your language is nothing but squiggly lines.. what do you expect?

[Sooth2222]

These people are insane.

[samtheman]

I’ll have to see a picture of the toy in question before I believe this. It seems like an utter farce.

I went to the linked site and there's some kind of useless graphic there. Is it really that hard to take a picture of a toy?

[Dr. Sivana]

Incredible! As ‘Muhammed’ is the most popular boys name in the world, how can the Mussies know which Muhammed the toy is referring to (if anyone at all)?

If some high profile Jewish folks start naming their kids Mohhamad, it would drive the radical Muslims nuts!

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks massmike.

[KosmicKitty]

Can anyone find a picture? I’ve looked online but had no luck

[samtheman]

Would you want to scar your kid for life with a name like that? It's practically child abuse.

[Ezekiel]

And there was the blasphemous BK ice cream treat...

[hoagy62]

Okay...looked at the picture in question.

Where in the name of Sam Hill do they get ‘Mohammed’ out of those squiggly lines?????

These people are full-goose bozo!

[PGR88]

[Wurlitzer]

Boy, I learn something new every day.

I would have thought it impossible to insult a satanic child molester. Who knew 6th century prehistoric sand monkeys could be so easily offended.

And we though it was funny taking pictures of the Amish was verboten.

Saudis Demand McDonald’s Be Punished For Happy Meal Toy That Insults Muhammed

I demand that Saudis be punished for assaulting America.

[Straight Vermonter]

Toy on left & script for Muhammed on the right.

[Lazamataz]

Religion aside, this was just a plainly-dumb business move and shows a lack of control on the part of upper management.

Leni, don't be so uick to believe it. It is likely that the little squiggly designs on the tody HAPPEN to look A LITTLE like the little squiggly designs that, in their weird language, spells MoHamHead.

But, this is raw paranoia and an insane view on their part. The insane paranoia is nothing new: Witness the Laser Controlled Penis Melting Zionist Robot Comb.

(sorry it's a print page, that's all I could find... but it's worth a read for the giggles....)

[ConservaTexan]

Those who look to be offended will be successful 100% of the time.

[sniper63]

محمد Frankly I don't see the resemblance. Besides I don't think McDonalds prepares their food Halal style, why are they eating there in the first place.

[Zeppo]

Those squiggles look amazingly similar to the pattern formed by a pile of dog excrement that I spotted by the side of a road this morning.

Who even knew that the dog was writing ‘Muhammad’...

[Lady Lucky]

Where in the name of Sam Hill do they get ‘Mohammed’ out of those squiggly lines?????

It may look like squiggles to most Americans, but that's a legible "Muhammad" to anyone familiar with Arabic scripts.

[pgkdan]

The funny thing is that the same people who criticize Christians as being intolerant and thin skinned for having the temerity to object to crucifixes in urine and condoms on crosses will join the muzzies in condemnimg McDonald’s for this ‘outrage’.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Like my dad never said: If you’re religion is so moronic that it can be demeaned by a Happy Meal Toy, then find another damn religion, son. And get me a beer while you’re looking.

[skinkinthegrass]

" How about offering them a 50¢
coupon on a (pork) McRib sandwich?"& add a sm. (potato) fries as recompense for
the "grave insult" to the sex-pervert sand pirate...
"may pig &/ dog piss/feces be upon him"
(limit 1 bag per visit/insult. :)

[Wyatt's Torch]

Yeah that’s not even close... US companies shouldn’t back down as the muzzie’s will always be up in arms and offended at something.

[skinkinthegrass]

LOL!
research, research, and more research. :-D

[Little Ray]

Can’t believe this for an instant, but, if this is true, I WANT ONE!

[Wyatt's Torch]

This is Islam: Upset at a Happy Meal and an ice cream cone yet totally okay with marrying 9 year old girls...

[MinuteGal]

I'm not quick to believe ANYTHING these days.

My comment was an observation on the reality OR the perception that the squiggles represent the name of Muhammed.

Either way, it appears that nobody in Mickey D's upper management and advertising/art departments were too swift in checking out the design....unless they were looking for an uproar for publicity purposes....or it was sly sabotage.

Otherwise, I couldn't care less if anyone's feelings are hurt over squiggles on a piece of plastic junk from hamburger heaven.

[Lazamataz]

Watch this all the way through. It is a VERY important expose on Ronald McDonald and drug use.

[moovova]

So, what does this spell in Arabic...?

[Lazamataz]

Either way, it appears that nobody in Mickey D's upper management and advertising/art departments were too swift in checking out the design....unless they were looking for an uproar for publicity purposes....or it was sly sabotage.

I take a different tack: I am SOOO done with the perpetually-offended. The homosexuals that get all upset at the slightest provocation; the racial off-limits just about everywhere, and the Religion of the Perpetually Upset (Islam). I say screw 'em. Man up. Learn how to deal with words.

I'm actually starting to go out of my way to offend the delicate little bastards.

If I owned a company, I would headquarter it outside the US to avoid the Feds breathing down my neck, and then I would *purposely* offend certain groups, and rely on the backlash to gain customers in more rebellious, mainstream customer bases.
