Saudis Demand Punishment for McDonald's Toy They Say "Insults Muhammed"
Gatestone Institute ^ | 2012-05-28 | Raymond Ibrahim

According to the Saudis, the designs that appear all around the base, where the figure stomps its foot, is really the name “Muhammed” written several times in circles.

Saudi Arabians are angry at a McDonald’s toy which they say mocks their prophet Muhammad. According to a report appearing today (5/27/12) on 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 consists of a blue superhero figurine (apparently a Power Ranger Samurai; click here for pictures). It stands on one leg, and, when the lever is pressed, it pounds on the base with the other leg. According to the Saudis, the designs that appear all around the base, where the figurine stomps its foot, is really the name “Muhammad” written several times in circles.

The toy had been distributed a few days before Saudi children and their parents began to take note of the name. Soon thereafter, Saudi Muslims launched several campaigns against McDonald’s in “response to the savage attacks on the noble Prophet,” under banners like “Help your Prophet!” and “Together in support of the Prophet.”

Saudis, “demanding the strongest possible punishment for the restaurant” and insisting that “they will not be silent until this is realized,” further complained how such an obvious insult could pass the supervision of the management at McDonalds.

In response, “Saudi McDonald’s” has withdrawn the toy from all its restaurants, “in order to safeguard against any accusations or misunderstandings.”

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’.

Crybaby Muhammad

Well Boo, hoo, hoo!

Hey, you Mooselimb, Saudi, Sand Monkeys and Smelly Camel Jocks, here's something guaranteed to "offend" and get enraged over:

This is what I think of your psychotic, murdering, pederast, "profit", Moo-Ham-Ud:

profeetta%20nussii%20elukkaa

And this is what I think of your so called "holy book" which governs you cult-cum-Religion of Pieces:

koran_paper_2

Now, I dare you to come and "take me to task" for insulting your eeeevil, barbaric, misogynistic, faux, religion.

Molon Labe!!!

That does NOT spell out Muhammad in Arabic; CLEARLY, that is Krunassian script for “Eat at Burger King”.

Somebody’s idea of an “inside” joke.

“Terrible! Muslims outraged! Heads must roll! Obama must apologize! How could they??”

FUSaudi’s...and all the rest of you Muzzies...it really is getting time to turn Mecca into a sea of glass. Muhammed the pedofile. What a POS!

With their simple alphabet looking like hen scratches, any nonsense marks could insult islam.

Gee, what’s the fuss?

I heard some shoe manufacturers write the name Mohammad on the inside linings of their shoes!!

I even heard some toilette companies write the name “Mohammad” on the bottom lips of their public toilette seats!!!

I guess Muslims should check all the public toilettes before using public toilettes. Also, they should start checking all their shoes.

This is hilarious. The Power Rangers was produced by a couple of Jewish guys at Saban Entertainment (later bought out by Disney).

Since the Power Rangers could be viewed by the Muzzies as being Jewish then having them step on the name of old Mo (Piss Be Upon Him) could be seen as even worse insult! LOL!
