Burger King jihad wha??
link
Burger King recalls 'sacrilegious' desserts JOHN INNES THE fast-food chain, Burger King, is withdrawing its ice-cream cones after the lid of the dessert offended a Muslim. The man claimed the design resembled the Arabic inscription for Allah, and branded it sacrilegious, threatening a "jihad". The chain is being forced to spend thousands of pounds redesigning the lid with backing from The Muslim Council of Britain. It apologised and said: "The design simply represents a spinning ice-cream cone." The offending lid was spotted in a branch in Park Royal last week by business development manager Rashad Akhtar, 27, of High Wycombe. He was not satisfied by the decision to withdraw the cones and has called on Muslims to boycott Burger King. He said: "This is my jihad. How can you say it is a spinning swirl? If you spin it one way to the right you are offending Muslims." A Muslim Council spokesman said: "We commend the sensitive and prompt action that Burger King has taken." Thoughts?? |

Get the feds to fund it under an NEA art grant, and then it'll be protected.

That's a good commercial concept. Bunch of Muslim guys standing around talking jihad about a spinning ice cream cone, and then when they turn around the King is right behind them. And this time he's not smiling.

Things like this are what will build the hatred towards Muslims.
Burger King makes an honest mistake. When someone points it out, they make an effort to remove the offensive item from their inventory. But instead of leaving it at that, this fucking raghead has to declare a holy war. I understand why they are constantly killing each other. These people are full of hate.

"If you spin it one way to the right you are offending Muslims." Then that offended muslim can spin an ice cream cone right up his a**, with his right hand!
