The dreaded blasphemous ice cream
Harper's Magazine (thanks to scaramouche) recently posted "I'm Hatin' It," a September 2005 interview with Rashad Akhtar, "a twenty-seven-year-old British Muslim, who alleges that the graphic used on the lid of Burger King ice-cream cones resembles the Arabic spelling of 'Allah.'"
The Enlightenment happened at half past 12 a.m. in Burger King, Park Royal. I had ordered my food, and a French guy got talking to me and asked, “Are you Muslim?” He said, “Look at this,” and he showed me the cone. I saw it and I thought, “Wow,” like anyone would. He said, “Turn it around.”I was thinking of my stomach. I was hungry. I would have loved to eat an ice cream. When I saw it, my mouth fell open. I dropped the ice cream. I canceled my order. That was the defining moment of my life.
The Burger King logo is there in Arabic. “Allah” is spelled exactly how it is there, and the Burger King logo is where the ominah should be. Why, there is no way it could be a coincidence. How can you say it is a spinning swirl? How does it spin on something that is static? You cannot spin it around unless you have a mechanical device. You spin it one direction, to the right, and it is offending a billion people.
I’m not talking about Muslims in the Park Royal vicinity, or in the U.K. I’m talking about globally. Everyone who sees this is going to be offended. If you put a different symbol on there, you’re offending Jews, Christians, Sikhs, or Hindus. I am going to try my best in life, so that these people do not operate in a single Muslim country again, so that we get an apology to every single Muslim on this planet in their language, in their country, on a national TV station: “Sorry. We, as an American company, are sorry. We didn’t mean to offend you.”
What angers me most is that most people, once they have finished with it, they look at it and say, “Nice cone. Nice design. Nice cone design.” They chuck it away. That is disrespectful. Don’t throw it away. Keep it as evidence. A reminder of what these people are doing every single day of our lives.
We showed this to Muslim customers in Burger King and they were disgusted. We went to the manager. “Is this true?” we asked. He said, “Yes, my brother. It is true.” I spoke to two other Pakistani Muslim guys there and they said, “We are sickened.” They were cussing Burger King.
I feel humiliated. I want to humiliate the person who did this to an extent that he never works again. I’m going to make him see that it was the biggest mistake in his life. I want to meet the guy. I want to ask the guy, “What does this mean to you?” then never see his face again.
In a way, I’m glad he did this to me. It has opened my eyes. The fear of God, the love of God, the love of not letting anyone disrespect God. Even though it means nothing to some people and may mean nothing to some Muslims in this country, this is my jihad. I’m not going to rest until I find the person who is responsible. I’m going to bring this country down.
I trust Rashad Akhtar will forthwith be arrested and prosecuted.

Robert,
Having just read the above article; and also I thank you for posting it, and I cannot believe my eyes that now this British Muslim would get so "offended " by an inocent picture on the cover of an ice cream product. The most upsetting part is that this is going to create a new jihad. This creates new tensions that are not needed between the west and Islam.

This is so effing rediculous. Im so tired of this kinda stuff being ignored in the mainstream media. No one ever wants to admit that Islam is flawed beyoung reform. All my liberal friends label me "racist" when ever i speak of things like this. The best they can come up with in its defense is "well christians commmited acts of violence during the cruesades". It amazes me that a culture could be so insecure in what they believe that an innocent icecream product would result in a "jihad". These peopel are completely insane and no one wants to awknowledge it.

These people are nuts,I mean come on that thing doesn't look all that close to the Aribic spelling. These people are just looking for an excuse to spew hate against America and extort money from an American company. Just you wait they will tell Burger King that as part of any forgiviness they will have to donate millions of dollars to some "charity".
Posted by: elad at May 25, 2006 11:27 AM
Burger King must remove that graphic immediately. I mean, there are thousands of languages and millions of designs. Why should we choose one that even remotely looks like the evil demon allah. I like my burgers. I HATE allah.
Posted by: arjun.sevak at May 25, 2006 11:28 AM
Oh my God!!! I've got to call my fellow conspirators. Rashad Akhad found out our plan for destroying Islam. He must not be allowed to stop the printing of wrappers for the many ice cream cone that will be sold the whole world around. How did he figure tossing used ice creame wrappers in the trash can instead of on the ground causing litter, was part of our plot to degrade Allah?
Posted by: Ironman Hondo at May 25, 2006 11:32 AM
Burger King withdrew these lids if I recall this correctly from the Dhimmiwatch thread of 16 September 2005, ie the day before this interview. So the offended Muslims got what they wanted.
Quite what Harper's Magazine thinks to achieve by repeating this 8 months later I don't know.
However slightly OT is this report of the continuing trial of 7 men charged with plotting to blow up, amongst other things, the Ministry of Sound club in London. Leave aside the fact that the place has to be called the Ministry of "Sound" because what goes on inside does not qualify as music, it was percieved as a soft target, and acceptable because of "those slags dancing around?"
The trial at the Central Criminal Court continues.

Haven't these people ever heard of something called a "coincidence"?
Shows you how zombifying Islam is,seemingly destroying the part of the brain people need for common sense and logic right from birth/conversion.
Posted by: Itachi at May 25, 2006 11:41 AM
Someone at LGF pointed out that coincidental images of arabic script depicting allah are also considered 'miracles'. . . . it is subjective whether it's a miracle or a humiliation.
Consider it job security for the professional grievance society (jihad) of Islam.

l see no resemblence, l think those muslims are in need of glasses. several years ago there were pissed off muslims over the Nike logo on their shoes. same offending muslims, different product. these people have such thin skins..
Posted by: Lulu at May 25, 2006 11:54 AM
Looks to me that any design, however innocent, would be offending to the muslims, since their language consists of a bunch of swirling loop-the-loop designs.
Posted by: CelticCoyote at May 25, 2006 11:59 AM
The BK ice cream logo also kinda looks like dog crap.
I like it! I think Allah and dog crap have a lot in common!

Wonders never cease, I'll wager Rashad cannot read Arabic and is just another loose cannon looking for any excuse to go "troppo" and the jokers that pointed this out to him knew it... The joke is on you Rashad..

I think that news like this, remember me that muslims love making Benny Hill explaining their religion. It´s pathetic.
Posted by: Franze at May 25, 2006 12:04 PM
Re: "That was the defining moment of my life."
This neatly sums up all that need be said about such morons. I would personally avoid buying this product since, as illustr8rg8r above notes, the logo resembles a steaming turd. The fact it resembles the Arabic spelling of Allah is a happy coincidence.
Posted by: johnb at May 25, 2006 12:07 PM
Since we don't read from sideways, who cares. Turn it upright and it looks like an ice cream cone.
Next thing you know they'll want us to take "w" out of our alphabet because it looks almost like allah when we write it.
These people are backward. There's no hope for them.
Posted by: freewoman at May 25, 2006 12:08 PM
If I was a muslim, I would consider this 'Allahs' ice cream, created by Allah, especially for the taste buds of muslims who can afford to buy some. If a muslim rejects Allahs ice cream, he is rejecting Allah. Akhtar is jihading for the wrong reason, he has mis-understood the Quran. Sura 2000.6 clearly says: "I scream, you scream, we all scream, for ice cream." Mohammd was no fool, he knew his chocolate from his vanilla. What Akhtar should be doing is, to eat all that ice cream he can get, and pray to the lids. Now that would make Allah happy, and he knows best...

Conspiracies abound and exist all around us. Proctor Gamble's corporate logo proves that the corporation is run by witches and devil worshipers. Look on the internet and you can find a bunch of people that profess to be sane, that believe that.
Certain groups believe that malt liquor manufacturers, including Schlitz, colt 45, old english, etc. purposely add substances to their product so that the user will go crazy.
The Burger King logo controversy shows that muslims can develop their own urban legends based on baseless information. The problem is that they are predeposed to violent acts, and their religious leaders will whip them up to such a fervor, that some idiot will kill 1 to ??? people because of an ice cream lid.

Rashad Akhtar should be arrested. His right to live in the UK should be revoked and his only option, to choose the Islamic hell-hole of his choice. Zero tolerance of Islamist rants backed up by immediate irrevocable expulsion.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Burger King a British company, Grand Metropolitan, before Burger King was recently spun off?
Oh well, infidels nonetheless. It really doesn't matter which ones you kill.
Posted by: Sheik er' Bouti at May 25, 2006 12:18 PM
No words like “Allah” on our ice cream, but let the rivers in heaven flow with booze. Again, I’m confused.
Herein lies a fundamental difference between Christianity and Mohammedanism. Here, a Mohammedanist has a conniption fit over the appearance of something that might somehow vaguely resemble (to a dyslexic member of his faith under the influence of some very high-quality reefer) the word, “Allah.”
As a Christian of the Catholic Church, I and many of my friend think it would be awesome if Burger King went so far as to INTENTIONALLY change its name to, “CHRIST THE KING BURGERS,” and sell a dessert item called, “CHRIST CREAM.”
Supersize me.

ALTHOUGH JEWS AND CHRISTIANS MAY NOT PRAY THERE AND MUST SEE THAT MUSLIM TEMPLE TO ALLAH THE DEMON......Olmert: Jerusalem liberation day unmatched in history
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said during a ceremony to mark Jerusalem Day at the Ammunition Hill commemoration site in the capital, that "there was never another day in Jewish history in which the cry 'We have conquered the Temple Mount' was heard."
"The Jewish people never had, and will never have, another national home. We returned to our holiest places in order never to part from them again," Olmert added. (Ynet)
at May 25, 2006 12:34 PM
First of all, the swirl on the BK ice cream looks fairly different from the Arabic swirl for Allah but it's obvious Mohammedists will look for anything they can twist into an offense against their evil cult. It doesn't matter what it is, silly cartoons, imaginary Koran desacrations, daring not to be Muslim, you name it. Anything is fair game to justify Jihad.
The only good thing is that as idiocy like this becomes more common, the correct negative perception of Islam will continue to spread among infidels. I'd love to see a call for an "Ice Cream Jihad" and watch the usual gang of MSM idiots try to spin it.

Celebrating the 39th anniversary of reunification of Jerusalem
With parades, prayers and lots of traffic on the city streets, Jerusalemites began celebrating Jerusalem Day on Wednesday evening, as they commemorated the 39th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem. During the Six Days War in 1967, Israel took back her holy ancient capital after 2,000 years of exile when it was restored to the Jews. The city was divided after the War of Independence in 1948. The Jordanians annexed the eastern half of the city and Jews were forbidden from praying at the Western Wall. When paratroopers landed in the Old City, tears filled their eyes, and Colonel Mordechai Gur said, “Har HaBayit b’yadenu! – The Temple Mount is in our hands!” (....MAY THE GOD OF ISRAEL SOON TAKE BACK THE TEMPLE MOUNT...SO ALL MAY PRAY THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hamas looking to fly planes into buildings
Terror leader details goal to carry out 9-11-style attacks, 'possibly against skyscraper'
May 25, 2006
By Aaron Klein
© 2006 WorldNetDaily.com
JERUSALEM – Hamas is seeking the ability to attack Israel using small airplanes laden with explosives to be flown 9-11-style into important targets, possibly Tel Aviv skyscrapers, Abu Abdullah, a leader of Hamas' so-called military wing, told WorldNetDaily yesterday.
Abdullah is considered one of the most important operational members of Hamas' Izzedine al-Qassam Martyrs Brigades, Hamas' declared "resistance" department. He said his group would not immediately carry out airplane attacks, but that Hamas is preparing for the possibility should a long-term truce it claims to abide by falls apart

Nothing is safe from people (Muslims) that believe they have a God-given right to judge, jury and execute anyone that they disagree with or that "offends" them, their cult or their "prophet".
An above poster is right: Islam IS "Nazi" fascism and always has been. No wonder they were "in bed" together during WW II, right? No wonder Neo-Nazi groups are coming out in support of Iran. The Jew-haters united, how pathetically transparent, and yet we have infantile and corrupt and Islamisized media agencies doing their damndest to put a nice spin on Islam every single day.
The entire affair makes me sick. If I was in charge there'd be no more patty-cake games. These scum would be out on their heads and looking for a desert to be safe in.

Storemanager: Are you sure you mean to be posting this to the Burger King Ice Cream story? I'm a simple man and you are confusing me.
Regardless, I have never understood why the Israelis have never just razed the Dome of the Rock and rebuilt the Temple. Who's going to stop them?
Hey, let's close the loop on this and get back on track with the Burger King story. Maybe we should bulldoze the Dome of the Rock, rebuild the Temple and put an adjacent Kosher "CHRIST THE KING" burger joint on the site. Lambs can be sacrificed in the temple, sectioned by the on-site Kosher butcher, then turned into flame-broiled Paschal Lamburgers.
For Aethiests, Pagans, and Heretics, how's this? Theirs shall be wrapped in containers marked: Bealzaburgers.
Sorry. Straight to the Confessional, by way of the Principle's Office for me. Just trying to get back to the lighter side of things.

Wait a minute -- this guy might be onto something -- His reasoning really got me thinking... This product just might be the mother of all Islamophobic masterpeices conjured up by those clever dirty najis kaffirs...
It's not just the dog doo swirl which is so offensive to all right minded (or right spinning) Muslims... Dig a little deeper and what do you find? Exactly what did the infidel dog intend by naming the product "BK Cones"???
It's bald faced cryptoislamophobia at it's worst (once someome points it out) Think about it... :
What are 'Cones'... and especially "BK Cones"? Clearly, it's 'Boobs'... Big ones, as in Big Knocker Cones... And there you have it, BK Cones nestled unislamically next to Allah's Saintly Signature... a truly sickening, perverted infidel Zionist insult of the first order, aimed at defaming Allah & Co, and designed to destroy Islam... The perfidy of Zionist Imperialist Kaffr Dogs knows no bounds.... This product SHOULD be banned, and the country that invented it wiped from the face of the earth...

Me, I'd guess that your "liberal friends" call you racist because of sweeping unfounded generalisations like this one. And it's because of people like you that sweeping generalisations of Americans tend to include the words crazy stupid redneck. You do a disservice to your country and your species.
People like you sicken and scare me far more than any terrorist threat.

"this is my jihad. I’m not going to rest until I find the person who is responsible. I’m going to bring this country down."
tomtom: I believe that the above quote is that to which the "scary" Jawknee was referring when suggesting that Rashad should perhaps be arrested. Sounds like a clear intent to embark upon seditious acts, which is against British law.
I, too, lived in London (1984-1987) and saw an excellent demonstration of British free speach when the book, "Spycatcher" written by disgruntled MI5 second-stringer was BANNED from sale in the U.K. owing to the Official Secrets Act. Here in the U.S. our press can publish all the dirty little secrets they can get their hands on... and they do!
Anyway, no hard feelings. Say, do you think Rashad would have complained if the ice cream containers were sold at a burger joint named, "MeccaDonalds"?

Something said "People like you sicken and scare me far more than any terrorist threat."
Yes, people that are worried about the threat of violence due a perceived offence which causes no offence in the minds of reason. People who do not threaten any type of harm as a result, but alarm and disgust, they scare me too. A reaction more along the lines of Rashad's is much more appropriate, and with the thought police of the world controlling the zeitgeist, necessary.

This is nothing if not insane. He should be medicated and locked up before he hurts someone over an illustration on a dairy product. (leans over and bangs head on desk for a while, a co-worker delivers a brisk slap)
I wonder how long before Burger Kings start burning around the world?
These are dark times. I really believe humanity is standing at an abyss and Islam is cheerfully pushing us over it. A new Dark Age is approaching if Islam has its way.
The scariest question is, "What is next?"

Knight4AO: take a look at this http://www.freepress.net/news/15647
anyway, from the article above it sounds like "this country" is America, not Britain (he refers to Burger King as an American company that he wishes to see apologise). Is it seditious to say that you want to bring down someone else's country? No. Offensive, possibly, but then there's a LOT of ill feeling directed at America at the moment, from more than just the Islamic world.

Posted by: hasan salami at May 25, 2006 2:19 PM
If they do boycott Burger King, that's one safe place for infidels everywhere - Muslim free zones. Of the fast food joints, BK happens to be my favorite, particularly with the Tendercrisps and the Chicken fries. They do a better job innovating with their food then Wendys, Carls Jr, Jack-in-the-box and certainly Mickey D's.
I've never noticed the ice-creams, but I disagree with all the above posters who want it removed on the grounds that Allah shouldn't defile our ice-creams. For one thing, we should never be on the same side as Muslims, even if we are being invaded by Aliens. If it does have that "Allah" resembling graphic, all the more reason to buy those, for precisely the reasons Mian Akhtar states about the wrappers after eating: "They chuck it away. That is disrespectful."
That way, if the consumer is not thinking about Islam, they'd still unwittingly dis Allah by tossing him into the dumpster. If the consumer is one of us, we could, after finishing the ice-cream, stamp on it and then toss it into the trash, or for the better aimers, kick it into the trash. Can't lose, unless one is a Mohammedan who wants to convert it into a shrine.
While on this topic, are Nike shoes that had Allah on them still available? I'd sure like to buy them. In fact, putting such designs on the soles of shoes should be mandatory, so that Allah is always facing the ground, and ultimately wears out. Also, make those soles green, although black will do as well.

I believe that tomtom just needs a hug.
She (I assume she's a she, anyway) may then hug Rashad Akhtar, then he will feel all better (presuming he has finished bringing down the U.K. and all) and the war will be over.
Listen up, people, tomtom is not the enemy. She does not recognize the enemy either. It is our job to protect her.
All in good fun tomtom. Please, tell me you do not understand that Rashad stated IN THE PRESS that he wanted his ("my") "jihad" and that he said he wanted to "bring down this country." So, carry on. There are many like me out there who will stop him from cutting your throat, too.

Many of us have expressed anger at Mr. Akhtar and that is appropriate. At a meta-level, we can be thankful that Harper's has posted this, and hope that more such incidents come to light. Like the continuing Danish cartoons fallout, events of this kind show the world the supremacist mindset of most Muslims. If a class of people is moved to anger and the contemplation of violence by the sight of a plastic icecream container, what might they do if they got REALLY offended? This is a way that the infidel world may awaken to the religious roots of "terrorism".
Perhaps there are some anti-Dhimmis at Harper's hoping to help awaken the Western world.

By this lunatic's logic, clouds forming in the sky that vaguely resemble "allah" in Kufic script must be hit with rockets until the offending word is utterly dispersed.
(Now, suddenly, the Iranian missile program makes sense!)
But what about tree rings? Mottled leaves? Bird droppings?
If Muslims worldwide would only start attacking offensive natural representations of the word "allah"... in pirouetting footsteps in mud, capriciously spooned yoghurt, swivelling tire marks screeched in alleys, disturbed seagull prints in wet sand, or even snivelling snot in used hankies, ad absurdun... instead of bothering sane human beings with the murderous ramblings of their crank cult, we all might be able to return to the proper business of humanity, instead of having to wrestle with these mentally-drowning dipsh*ts as they thrash about in paroxysms of petulent paranoia.

I did not know that Britain had a Constitution like America, where freedom of speech is guaranteed ...
I think the poster who was, or was claiming to be, a Briton was posting some very foolish comments, indeed. However, I think it would be stretching matters to say that there is "freedom of speech" only in countries with written constitutions (independent of the question of whether written constitutions are, on the whole, to be preferred or not).
I suspect this goes far too far the other way, but it does make a valid point:
It would never have occurred to earlier generations of Americans that the Constitution could be used to forbid the expression of opinions judged "offensive" by a self-chosen elite, or to permit the propagation of material that is offensive to everyone. It went without saying that the First Amendment exists in order to protect free discussion of matters of public concern, not to permit the wholesale distribution of pornographic images which contribute to the free discussion of nothing. Yet today the United States is perhaps the only country in the civilized world where quite reasonable opinions about matters of the greatest importance -- such as race and sexuality -- cannot be expressed without risk of legal or disciplinary action.
IOW, "judicial activists" can also use a constitution to silence dissenting speech - by means of the Fourteenth Amendment.
But, of course, you will in practice find you can tell the truth about Islam in the U.S. far more easily than you can in many another "country in the civilized world" - as Aayan Hirsi Ali has discovered.

Yojimbo I don't know about the States but I know about France, where it seems that freedom of expression is only tolerated, as long as it does not disturb the plans and strategies of those who are in power and wish to remain in power.
Tomtom is very naive if he / she thinks liberty of speech exists in Europe. It is simple to understand, though: the media = the left, French immigrants are mainly Muslim, less and less people vote for the left but the Muslims do vote for the left, so the left (and media) say the Muslim immigrants are no problem whatsoever (even Moussaoui is a nice guy, why did the cruel, nazi Americans take him ?) and everybody who dares even DISCUSS themes like "the difference of cultures", or "radical Islamism spreading in France" etc. is labeled a fascist and the good people (like Tomtom) buy all that propaganda because they are ignorant and would buy anything anyway if they were told too.
Liberty of speech ? Definitely not in France. Although I suspect some countries are even worse (North Korea, Saudi Arabia... Sweden...)

A friend of mine had claimed that he had seen the word Allah in Arabic on the ring of the guy who was hitting Jesus (PBUH) in the Demi Moore movie 'The Seventh Sign'. Must have had real good eyes to catch that in 10-15 frames! I had looked for the movie in the video stores, just out of curiosity, but no result.
Anyway, wouldn't you feel offended if you'd seen something that resembled your flag on the sole of a shoe? Maybe just a coincidence. But isn't it our weak point that we tend to look for bad intentions behind everything? (Or paranoia, more technically.)
I doubt anyone would have drawn that icecream come sign intentionally but being a person who has worked a little bit on Arabic calligraphy I must admit that the resemblance is significant. I will keep on eating at BK; Whopper and Beanburger being my favorites, but I will keep on boycotting Coca Cola, for what they had done was absolutely intentional: Remember that ad, a Muslim praying in sajdah position (face down) towards a Coca Cola refrigerator?
BTW I'm surprised at the level of Islamic knowledge of some of the posters here. Must I apologize for underestimating you guys or is it some agents trained on these subjects throwing in some stuff now and then? My God! Paranoia again! :-)

And in France there is a hot market in -- Francophobie. Don't say anything good about what the French did in North Africa. Keep it all out of textbooks. Accuse Napoleon of being the first one to introduce gas chambers -- the absurd charge made by Claude Ribes, who recently published a book all about the villainy of slavery. But not all slavery. No, there is not a word about the Arab slave trade, or the Ottoman slave trade. That trade, though it began earlier, ended later (and did not always end, for it can be found in Mauritania, the Sudan, even Saudi Arabia), and claimed many more victims than the Atlantic slave trade of the Europeans (in "The Hideous Trade" Jan Hogedoorn discusses the 10% survival rate for young black males castrated on site by Arab slavers, who were then marched by slave coffle to the coasts to be taken by dhow to the slave markets of Islam). Ribes, whose book has been ripped apart by real historians, nonetheless has been much in the news with his thesis that the disinfectant used below decks to clean the quarters of the slaves in fact gave off a gas that killed them; hence Ribes's charge that Napoleon (and the French, bien sur) were the first to come up with the gas chamber idea. What nonsense, and nonsense not only because there is not the slightest evidence for this, but because it makes no sense -- why would slavers wish to kill their property? They wouldn't.
Ribes's book, by the way, has on its cover that famous photograph of Hitler visiting the tomb of Napoleon, in order to make graphically the point of the text: one gasser of humans paying tribute to the originator.
But it passes. And Dieudonne passes. And the rewriting of history to blacken the French mission civilisatrice passes. It all passes, as francophobie becomes the fashion.

As an American I can tell you that is BS. If it was true, Howard Dean the Democratic chair person, would already be behind bars.
The 14th Amendment defines US citizenship and requires states to provide “equal protection under the law” to all persons under their jurisdiction, not just citizens, I don’t see how that has anything to do with freedom of speech.
Now in America you can and will be held accountable for what you verbalize, an example being, if you yell “fire” in a crowded movie theater, when a fire doesn’t exist, you will be held accountable for the ensuing chaos.

In the comments to Bunglawala’s article someone posted a link to LGF, and our British visitor clicked that link, leading him/her/it to this post: Swedish Muslims Demand Shari’a.
At 3:23 am, this creature used our contact form to send the following email with the obviously phony Hotmail address ‘zionistpig@hotmail.com’ and the subject line, “You bunch of wankers.”

No tomtom (I'm REALLY trying to be your friend, here), it is not sedition to say you are going bring down someone else's country. That is what we call statesmanship (the darker side of statesmanship, but statesmanship nonetheless). It is not sedition when a state, with legal, moral, and security jurisiprudence to do so, actually DOES take a country down. That is what we call war, which is a nasty little necessity in the world. I personally hate the latter, having lost four (and counting) very good friends by way of the damned things.
tomtom, I wonder how lovely you would think Rashad if he actually embarks upon his anti-BK jihad with a little explosive backpack action of his own. Nasty little thing those backpacks and explosives. Individual I know has no flesh or muscle (down to the bone) on the entire back, left side of his body, from his ankle to mid-back from such a device. Trust me tomtom, akin to a little reality check LT General Patton made to his troops prior to D-Day (rescuing Europeans like you), listen up: If you woke up on a London tube full of smoke and a chunk of what was just a moment before, your best friend's torso, splattered against your face, you'd have a different take on reality. Well, to Rashad, that is reality.
Do you know what the Arabic word, jahiliyah means? Well, I'll give you a hint... you're part of it. Now, go Google it.
Oh, by the way, Rashad wants to bring you down, too.
Don't worry, tomtom, I am your friend and I do my damnedest each and every day to make sure that you do not become a little piece of Rashad's prophesy.

The next time your liberal friends accuse you of racism for criticizing Islam, point out that Islam is NOT a race but a religion, so racism isn't the issue. Point out why you are opposed to Islam--what the Koran has to say about non-Muslims, women(it's ok to beat your wife) etc. Point out that the crusades happened in the Middle Ages and we are talking about the PRESENT!Tell them to open their eyes.
I know why the left supports Islam though. Its' practioners are mostly non-white and the left will blindly support anything non-white and non-christian no matter how barbaric it is.
That is also why a large number of women's rights organizations ie. NOW, don't condem Islam, they don't want to appear "racist". . Supposed racism trumps everything else.
It's time to break this nonsense. All sane people, women's rights groups etc. should be condemning Islam. It's time to stop using cries of racism to stifle legitamate debate and it's time to start calling a spade a spade.

I cannot believe my eyes that now this British Muslim would get so "offended " by an inocent picture on the cover of an ice cream product.
Let's go back to the beginning.
Just starting his career as a holy prophet, Mohammed gave endless speeches to his brethern Korieshi clansmen in the streets of Mecca.
Vituperative speeches. Speeches that he claimed were sermons reciting the actual word of God. Speeches that devolved into the Satanic Verses. Then, after he composed himself, threatening speeches that told of caravan robberies and murder and overall doom and gloom.
SPEECHES FROM LEACHES SURFING WATERLESS BEACHES ON THE SANDS OF MECCA
Then, after a couple of years, Mohammed's Koreishi brethern, pagans all, went to the "prophet's" rich uncle and begged that he be made to shut the hell up.
Mohammed was offended. Deeply offended. So was God, who weighed in with this ayat from that surah:
Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye know not.
--- God ordaining murder (and referring to himself in the third person) in Koran 2:226
And so there you have it. Moslems are always deeply offended and humiliated and in jihad mode to one degree or another, they are always humiliated to one degree or another, they are always persecuted to one degree another, no matter what the poor infidel does, and this persecution always involves jihad murder to one degree or another, the miraculous possibilities ranging from the implied threat of personal murder (the 6th Pillar Islam) up to personal murder (more 6th Pillar) up to sporadic raids (razzias), and finally all the way up to full scale war (high jihad).

I sometimes wonder how muslims imagine Western businiss affairs passing off?
Do they think, Burger King managers are holding conferences on how to insult Islam? Do they think, highly-paid people are sitting around tables, drinking mineral water and orange juice from tiny bottles and debating whether - in order to offence every single Muslim on earth - it would be better to create a new Burger called "Muslim King" ( with camel-meat in it) or giving small plastic figures portraying Mohammed and little Aisha as presents to kiddy costumers or if it would perhaps be the best ( and of course really insidous ) to write something similiar to "Allah" on ice-cream-containers?
They seem to think we have nothing better to do than to work at malicious plans to insult Islam. We should tell them, that of course we would very much enjoy to do so, that it would be a great pleasure for us to insult Islam from morning to night, but that there is unfortunately not enough time left for such amusements, because we must work in order to pay taxes which our "arrogante and imperialistic" infidel governments can then give as jiziya to Jew-murdering Palestineans and to the uneducated islamic welfare recipients within our own countries.
Seriously spoken: I think the word "apology" is important. They are eager for apologies. They just love it if infidels apologize to them. I guess they are sure, the normal and Allah-given world order is just like this: Muslims lying on their knees in front of their demon ( and apoligizing for maybe not yet have commited a suicide attack in order to protect Islam or such things ) - and infidels lying on their knees in front of Muslims and apoliziging for being alive.

I just sneezed on my computer monitor and I swear that the resultant spattering spray looked eerily like the Arabic for "No Spitting". (How's that for irony?)
Wish I could include the script here (an ascending polygraph squiggle, and then a big 'E' shape with more zig-zag squiggles.) -but I'm sure you can find it online.
The BK conehead top looks more like the Arabic for "FOR SALE" to me.
Which would be a pretty clever marketing trick.
(As if infidels had the time to waste designing items just to obliquely insult delusional schmucks looking for "al-lah" on ice cream containers or running sneakers.)
We're too busy trying to hit on the cute waitresses behind the fast food counter, you daft followers of the pedophile, to worry about garbling your meandering gobbledygook.

Apparently morse code operatives have a very high rate of insanity because they start hearing dit-dah-dit type messages in the random clicks, bumps and bangs that constitute every day background noise. It must be hard on the poor Muslim to have various sacred names that look like squiggles, dots and dashes. I'm surprised they don't see them everywhere.

As a "Limey" I'd just like to say a few things;
1. Tomtom above probably does represent the common view in this country on matters islam. However, he does make it entirely clear that freedom of speach is enshrined in our law as sacrosanct and thus the idiot with the whippy tub has every right to moan about his being offended.
2. I am getting the impression that my cousins "over the pond" believe that Britain will be all but subjugated in a few years time. Well let me remind you all that we've been in this situation in the past. In fact it is this sort of situation that stirs my fellow Tommies from their pubs. I am sure that the challenge to islam will come from these islands and that we will again provide the clarion call which awakes our Anglo-Saxon brothers. Don't think the old country is over yet, we haven't even begun to get riled!

"if you yell “fire” in a crowded movie theater, when a fire doesn’t exist, you will be held accountable for the ensuing chaos."
Now, we are in a situation where billows of smoke are coming through cracks in the door and through vents in the walls, and most of the audience is refusing to yell "fire" -- while the tiny few who do are either ignored as weirdos or actually escorted out of the theater by the ushers. Where the metaphor fails is that, unfortunately for the few, there is no Off Broadway safe from the fire.

Look at what muslims say about Nike... even after the settlement between Nike and Islam.
http://www.islamweb.net/ver2/Fatwa/ShowFatwa.php?lang=E&Id=1278&Option=FatwaId
Personally I like this part of what they say...
"...Wearing a garment with the logo of Kufr is prohibited in Islam since Islam prohibits imitating non-Muslims. The Prophet said: "Whoever imitates some people, he is one of them". In another narration he will be resurrected with them". The above Hadith gives a severe threat to those people who imitate Kuffars in their style or manners of talking, acting, wearing, worshipping, or in their feasts or in any other matters which are not legislated for us and are not approved by us..."
No wonder they will never fit in... their law forbids it.

storagemanager -- I think that the consensus here is that a contest pitting 'my religion against yours' is a non-starter. The introduction of counter arguments based on religious orientation (no matter how meritous) simply lends a credibility to the vile Jihadi position which it doesn't deserve, and tends to deflect discussions down hopeless and endless cul de sacs of irrelevance. In addition - -there doesn't seem to be a faster way of instantaneously alienating persons who don't subscribe to your religious views but who are natural allies in the good fight against the spread of Islam, Jihad, and its attendant nightmares.
It's hard enough to remain dispassionate while discussing the blood stained Muslim Jihad against us. There are literally millions of demonstrable ways Islam fails utterly as a political or religious system. In the end, it isn't necessary to introduce other religions into the mix!
This doesn't mean that outreach or evangelism don't have their place -- even though I am an agnostic -- I'd far prefer to see Muslims converting to anything other than Islam -- virtually any belief system, including communism is superior to the cancerous soul crushing humanity destroying malignancy of Islam. ANYTHING is better than Islam! in my humble opinion.

Rashad seems to lack awareness of his own imagination and how it creates a simile or metaphor between the ice cream pattern and the Arabic script pattern for 'Allah.' His mind is literal.
One interesting detail to me is the way a widespread artistic technique (call it "integration" or "wholeness") contributed to Rashad's misunderstanding. In much art today, including commercial art, the artist intentionally leaves out parts of the boundaries of objects depicted. This serves to unite the object and its setting into a single composition. In this case, the soft ice cream swirl is not continuously bounded on the side uppermost in the image. The result unintentionally resembles, slightly, the Arabic for 'Allah.'
Assuming Rashad really believes his complaint, and is not just playing the imperious little princess who insisted that she could feel a pea under twelve mattresses, perhaps he was deprived of play when a child. It is creative play that teaches us consciously and willfully to 'see' what we wish in clouds or in other nebulous phenomena. Most painters know that if you chaotically swab two somewhat different shades of color on a canvas, faces start to appear everywhere, if you have eyes to see them. (Remember the 'face' people saw a few years ago in a certain rock formation on Mars? Remember how many people were determined to attribute the 'face' to deliberate sculpting by an ancient Martian civilization? I'd bet none of the people who believed that were experienced painters.)
The debility Rashad reveals can occur in any cultural setting, but is perhaps most likely of all under Islam, if we follow Daniel Boorstin, author of the three classic works: The Seekers, The Discoverers, and The Creators. In the latter book, pp.63-69, he explains why Islam has a very different relationship than does the West, to creativity:
“…the Muslim God, though a kind of Creator, had a character quite different from the God of the Hebrews and the Christians...[I]n the Koran the role of the Creator is transformed. The familiar words of Genesis record that God spent six days on the Creation. [Tanakh/Old Testament, Genesis, Chapter 2, verse 2]: 'And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day...' "
"In the Koran God never rests, for he can never be tired. [Qur’an Chapter 5, Verse 38]: We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in Six Days. Nor did any sense of weariness touch Us.'
"It is no wonder that the Koranic God was not wearied. For He created not by making but by ordering, not by work but by command. The creation of anything occurs when He decrees it into being. [Qur’an Chapter 2, Verse 117]: To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth; when He decreeth a matter, He saith to it: "Be," and it is.'
"Again and again the Koran describes God's fiat...
"There are some similar expressions in Genesis of God creating by fiat...But there is a vast difference in emphasis between the acts of Creation in the Bible and in the Koran. And between the character of the Hebrew-Christian God the Maker, and the Muslim God of Fiat...
"The Muslim Creator-God is notable not only, nor even mainly, for His work in the Beginning, but as an orderer, a commander, of life and death in our present. The Judeo-Christian God is awesome for the uniqueness of His work in the Beginning. Then He may intervene by divine providence...
"After...the six days of fiat, the God of the Koran, having no reason to rest, simply mounted the throne of authority. From there he continued to rule by decree over life and death and every earthly act.
"The relation of the Muslim God to his creature man, then, is quite unbiblical. The uniqueness of the biblical Creator-God was in his powers of making; the uniqueness of man and woman too would be in their power to imitate their God and after their fashion to exercise the power of creation. After God created the species in the Beginning, he blessed them to be fruitful and multiply...
"Why did God create man? The God of the Bible would judge man by his fulfillment of his godlike image. Not so in Islam. [Qur’an Chapter 51, Verse 56]: 'I have only created jinns and men, that they may serve Me. I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship me.'
"...The People of the Koran prefer to call themselves Muslims, from 'Islam," the Arabic word for submission or obedience. The Koran repeatedly reminds us that Allah's creatures are also his 'servants' or 'slaves'. What clearer warning against reaching for the new? For a believing Muslim, to create is a rash and dangerous act."[Boorstin excerpts from pps 63-69 of The Creators 1992 edition.] Posted by: traeh

'I feel humiliated.'
So he should. If I were this stupid and brainwashed, I would feel humiliated too.
'I want to humiliate the person who did this to an extent that he never works again ..'
I have a deep and burning wish that this moron never breathes again ---
The one sure way to put a stop to this is to arrest him and lock him up as an example to other IslamoIdiots. He threatened 'jihad', did he not? Isnt this against British law? After all, a British man was recently locked up for shouting 'Muslims go home' or something similar - he made no threats, he simply voiced his opinion. Yet neanderthals like this one, who have no business setting foot in a civilised country, are allowed to get away with publically threatening murder and mayhem.
Don't the idiot British ‘authorities’ see that they are simply being made fools of, that these people are like vicious undisciplined children who push and push to get their own way when they see that the adults are too weak to stop them.
Posted by: Deecha at May 25, 2006 10:58 PM
Good post, traeh.
It explains why the Muislim fatalists consider the Western notion that we can be masters of our own fate to be nothing short of blasphemy. I never thought about it this way -- when we attempt to decree our own fate, or write our own laws -- we are acting, according to their squalid beliefs, as if we were Allah himself -- the writer of all.
This also might explain the nearly frantic disturbances trivial seeming things can appear to the disordered Muslim mind -- If Allah truly is all powerful, then how can he permit cartoons, how can he allow unworthy 'unbelievers' to prosper and dominate the sanctioned and superior Muslim? This engenders in them the uncontrolled rage of their infantile psyches --And, unlike the three year old, whose maturity level Muslims often seem to emulate, Muslims have the ways and means to act on their ragefulness in ways the world is only now beginning to wake up to...

This is my local BKs (tomtom - W. London) so please excuse the speech. Most of my freinds/aquaintances are Moslems, and I suspect would sympathise with the offence this man claims, if not his stated intentions. Despite being a year old, it squarely illustrates the endemic sentimentality - and subsequent millitancy - of the "nation without borders", the Ummah, primed to react in just this way to any possible slight, however tenuous.
In contrast, some years ago a UK games developer released a video game, I won't mention the particulars, portraying a fictional company described straight out of The Learned Elders of the Protocols' - a ruthless, manipulative, monopolising cabal, trading under a yellow star of David. The word 'Jews' wasn't used, but the offending material had been written by a highly educated Cambridge grad. who couldn't conceivably have misunderstood the offence this causes. Whether intentional or Fruedian slip, the implications are obvious. Naturally, on pointing this out I was dismissed as paranoid, hypersensitive, it's only a game etc.
Jews endure this "ambient background" level of racism throughout British/European culture, always have, yet you'd never expect a Jew to threaten holy war against companies, much less their home countries, for the very real and ever present undercurrent of latent malice directed at them. The above racially offensive game hasn't been 'updated', and is still regarded as the best example of its genre - it really is a work of genius, the top-selling title that year, and none of its content is "happy accident".
Meanwhile Mohummadans ruthlessly manipulate and monopolise the acceptable boundaries of Western ethics, while all the while projecting their hatred-fuelled indiscretions on a humble racial minority. This is normal. The media, largely, along with much of the establishment, sympathises. The George Galloways, Jack Straws, Jimmy Carters and Cherie Blairs of the world dilligently leap to their defence; We all need to be more sensitive to Islamic intolerance, and less tolerant of anything that offends Sharia. We know British society IS inherently bigoted, but the Ummah seeks to monopolise our guilt to ruthlessly manipulate our cultural norms to those more befitting Muhammadan law, while demonising those to whom we actually owe a debt of injustice.
Is there a worldwide Islamophobic conspiracy that Allah is but the patron deity of frozen dairy produce? Is this yet another example of the normalisation of blashphemous Muhammadan commestibles? The infidels must wince in self-abasement when the Ulema renames Fench pastries "roses of the prophet Muhammad", but associating their meteorite with ice cream is a life-changing call to "defensive" Jihad?
Of course it is.
It doesn't matter that BK conceded. Or that this man's veiws will mostly be seen as absurd. What matters is the millions of like-minded Western Moslems, their stated aims and methods, and their tomtoms, who think they're here to share our liberties and undeserved good fortunes (and to prop up our economies), while they themeselves KNOW they're here to to disseminate dar al-Islam.

I live in Britain and I am happy to say that here free speech is more than just a concept (for the moment at least). This guy will not be arrested and nor will he be prosecuted for simply being offended by something and saying so.
"I will bring down this country" is a rational reaction to some swirls in an ice cream cone?! My God, anyone with half a brain knows that Burger King is an evil, capitalist, greedy AMERICAN corporation. Greedy AMERICAN corporations never intentionally insult their customers; that isn't conducive to generating those obscene profits that enrich corporate executives at the expense of minimum wage employees who don't have health care or adequate housing. But at least they can eat all they want on the job, become obese, and suffer from diabetes. The swirls in the ice cream were innocent curly-cues meant to enhance the appearance of the product; nothing more, nothing less. Only a paranoid muslim fanatic would see anything else.
Tomtom, the muslim maniac was not threatening to "bring down" America; he is/was a BRITISH muslim. Lucky you! I understand you are blessed with millions just like him. And they're so fortunate to have useful idiots like you to defend their asinine and threatening escapades.
From what I read here and on other sites, the only people in Britain who enjoy free speech are muslims. Criticism of muslims is considered "hate speech" and is not tolerated. Am I wrong?
Posted by: Susanp at May 25, 2006 11:35 PM
Ronin - Because British Islam(tm) has been so succesful in redirecting our penitence for the way we've previously percieved minorities. What was good clean familly fun 20 years ago is now horribly un-PC; Alf Garnet, Enid Blyton and so on, are now eclipsed by the post-Brixton, post-Toxteth renaisance of equal opportunities, positive discrimination, and Nationalism is tainted by what might be termed "end of Empire syndrome" - an introspective lump in our throat, that the MCB and racial equality commisions have so succecfully turned against us. Every Newsdesk has a shortlist of Islamic/Arabic experts on hand at any time to give us the other side - our self-proclaimed enemies side - of any such issues. Our media feeds the beast, and now cannot stop for fear of being seen as either politicised, or worse, un-PC.

Traeh, interesting post, but I'd have to disagree with the above quote. Seems to me that its usually Christians, mostly Catholics (I don't wanna hear it, my mother is Catholic), who see religious images in billboards (ATHF), in the rust patterns on desert highway stop signs, and on grilled tortillas. BIG difference, however, is that Christians are more likely to call these sightings miracles, as evidence of God's presence, almost iconic. Christians take it not as an insult and a reason to threaten and kill, but as an affirmation of their faith.
It takes an effort to offend a Christian.
It takes an effort to not offend a mohammedan.

The arabic word for allah does not match the ice cream cover at all.
So I guess, many of you guys here are right, some of these muslims are delibrately looking for ways to start a new jihad.

Thanks Jsla, Gramfan and Eisenhund.
Eisenhund, excellent point. Though I'm not sure if it really is more common among Christians, or if it's just that for one reason or another we hear more about it among Christians.
What seems clear is that Rashad's combo of conscious literalism with unconscious imagination is most characteristic of culturally isolated and premodern peoples.
Premoderns need to learn to distinguish the literal from the figurative. Moderns and Post-moderns need to learn almost the opposite: to rediscover, but on a new, conscious level, the inner relation between the literal and the figurative, their unity and the possibility of their synthesis in a 'poetry' that would at the same time be cognitive of objective realities. Put differently, a 'science' that would at the same time be poetry. A new science of qualities to complement the existing science of quantities. But now I'm getting into Coleridgean Romanticism and Goethean science, Henri Bortoft and Craig Holdrege...a discussion for some other website.

Dunno if those Nike shoes are still available, but if they are, get those. I don't think Allah is on the soles though, just behind the heels. Maybe get Bata or Woodlands to do what you want - I doubt Muslims buy those.

This would have been in Ripley's believe it or Not 20 years ago. But today it is a serious threat.

Arjun,
You make a good point. In fact, as usual, you make several.
Think I'll go have it my way right now. After all, it's Friday... that means fish!

Any gel like substance when squirted from a cilindrical object to form a heap on top of a cone will look something like that logo.
It's them writing the name of their god with a set of characters that resemble a heap of shit... Where are we, the Kafir wrong in this matter?
I'm curious how many crazy mofo's would be offended by simple things like this. No dialogue is possible with these people...

"Muslims, please get with the 21st century!"
I'd settle for the Muslims getting with the 16th Century at this point. It's part of their 'great' religion of Islam: The greatest lowerer of expectations in human history.

Stuff like this will make any one of the "moderate Muslims " look plain silly.

Hey all.
It has been a long time since I posted a comment. I have bit my tonque for too long.
Ya know, I took a good hard look at the BK label and I was a bit skeptical. But, after contemplating all of the implications of what it was that I was ACTUALLY seeing in not only the label but the arabic symbol, I am now absolutely sure that what I am seeing in both the label and the arabic is what I have suspected to be the case all along.
It says 666 - the mark of the beast. Yep. I see it clearly. No doubt about it.
Its Satan Living Among Men.

"Ya know, when a Christian spots Jesus in a tortilla, he doesn't get mad- he lists it on eBay."
And everybody is happy! Even the Secular Zealots whose religion requires them to hate the Christians get to laugh. The Christians get a new sign. The Jews get bemused. The finder gets some money, and Ebay gets a cut. In our system, everybody wins!

Ronin - Because British Islam(tm) has been so succesful in redirecting our penitence for the way we've previously percieved minorities... Posted by: AnimusAnimus
Why let this argument stand? If it were not for Britain, two of the top 3 Islamic countries in the world - Pakistan (and later Bangladesh) - would never have existed. After Indonesia, the second largest Islamic majority country (population-wise) would have been Turkey or Iran or Egypt, and something like 400 million Muslims would have been a minority in India. The Brits could have ignored the claims of Muslims in India, but didn't. (Some people blame the Brits, and some the Muslims, for the partition of India; while that is off topic here, what is important is that the Brits didn't prevent it from happening). While it's anyone's guess as to what might have happened had Pakistan not happened, the Brits should throw this in the face of all Muslims who expect any penitence from them.

I think that if Muslims got with the 5th century program that the Arabs were on before Mohammed stopped the clock, that would be progress for them. In the above case, the whiner was from Pakistan, so for them, time did go on until the 9th century - they get to advance slightly more.
Expecting them to move to a century in double digits is expecting too much of them.

Frankly, Rashad Akhtar needs a major shot of thorazine. He also needs to be put in a straitjacket and placed in a padded room because he's NUTS!!!!!!

Tomtom, caving in to death threats and violence from a religious minority is an everyday part of life in the UK now. Anyone with a grudge or who feels "offended" or who wants to take British taxpayers to the cleaners using our Human Rights laws (e.g. - little girls who want to wear a particular dress to school) has carte blanche. Anyone complaining about that is instantly labelled a "racist." Got the picture now? Muslims have led the way and other religious minorities are following their example - (re: the Sikhs threatening to burn a theatre down and issuing death threats to the author in Birmingham over a play.)

God help us if they ever find Mohammed's likeness on a grilled cheese and ham sandwich.
