Thereby further convincing Muslims around the world that, yes, your protests and complaints for special treatment -- provided they are loud and angry enough -- will always be honored. Still, Nissan, the oil-rich sheikhs [1] await apologies; and now that you've conceded this much, prepare to go all the way, in good dhimmi fashion. "Nissan orders Israeli ally to pull commercial," from [2] Japan Times, August 9:

JERUSALEM (Kyodo) Nissan Motor Co. has ordered its Israeli business ally to immediately stop airing [3] a television commercial depicting Arab oil barons angered at the high fuel efficiency of a Nissan car, officials of the automaker said Thursday.

"The commercial was produced by a local automobile distributor based on its own judgment, and Nissan Motor has nothing to do with the commercial," a Nissan spokesman in Japan said.

The commercial depicts wealthy Arab oil barons becoming so enraged at a fuel-efficient Nissan Tiida that one of them kicks the car, bangs on the hood and windshield and heaps abuse on the vehicle.
