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In response, “Saudi McDonald’s” has withdrawn the toy from all its restaurants, “in order to safeguard against any accusations or misunderstandings.”
I’d rather have the Mohamhead logo emblazoned on every sheet of a roll of toilet paper. I’d buy a pallet full.
If the figure does indeed have semblance to Mohammed I can understand Muslim anger at it being in a Muslim nation. However as for me the situation shows a relationship that has been bought and paid for by Saudi oil. It is a situation the Founding Fathers would have deplored. That the USA being bound to a Muslim nation for the sake of a ‘new world order’ in this situation is a direct example of unknown consequences. If it just stayed in Saudi Arabia it would not be much of a bother to me at this time though I still remember the Muslims favored and supported Hitler and his Nazis. The USA cannot afford to allow such influence as Muslims seek if the Nation is to survive as intended by the Founders.
When your written language looks like a track made by an inked worm on LSD you can see anything you want in any other squiggle.
So does a road map of a 100 square mile section (10 x 10) just south of Augusta Georgia.miles.
You have to read his name by you turning the map so North is South.
I'm going to predict there is going to be a repeat of 2006 the last time muslims were outraged at McDonald's for whatever reason.
The La Raza types and illegals are going to start marching in the streets demanding amnesty.
Anybody get the connection between La Raza/illegals and muslims pissed at McDonald's?
If I were the McDonald’s CEO, I would bring back the pork McRib sandwich and change the Power Ranger to be literally standing on Mohammed with a sword cutting off his evil head and would add the Commonwealth of Virginia’s motto to the base: Sic Semper Tyrannus!
Only sometimes?
The funny part is that in Arabic script that squiggly line really DOES read as "Mohammed"! The interesting question: was it put there by sheer accident (sort of like the face of Jesus on a piece of toast) or was it intended as a message to subliminally propagate Islam? That it was consciously done as an insult to the bas****s seems the least likely possibility. However, this would be a collectible:
Mohammed .. Mohammed .. Mohammed .. Mohammed
Most Americans have had it with these Muslim jackasses. This whole cult is sick.
McRib is an insult to real rib meat everywhere.
These people are INSANE............
This certainly isn’t their attitude when they appear before the BZA wanting a permit to build one of their mosques.
I suppose after the mosque is built, with Saudi oil money, they might start building bombs in the basement.
Very intolerant of me, I know, but I see grown men shouting and stamping their feet in anger over childrens’ toys 5-29-2012, and I remember 9-11-2001. First, the false smiles and then the real demands for sharia law. It’s happening now in England and France.
My dog made something that looked just like that on the floor.
The McRib is an oasis of tastiness in the vast desert of bland fast food. The barbecue sauce on the McRib makes your taste buds stand up and cheer! Cleanse your palate with a refreshing gulp of Coca Cola between each bite! There’s eatin’ and there’s feastin’ and the McRib is a delicious feast for all your senses!
PARADISE; Is this a trick question?
Good catch! I'd hate to see a repeat of the chaos that erupted when people played their Beatles albums backwards.
