Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Egypt: Islamic jihadists threaten Pepsi

Apr 29, 2014 8:56 am By Robert Spencer

Pepsi in ArabicCould this involve the old conspiracy theory that “Pepsi” stands for “Pay Each Penny to Save Israel?”

In any case, you can love death, but not Pepsi Cola. Nor would you be off the hook if you loved both death and Pepsi. It’s an either/or thing, apparently.

“Fighting the fizz: Egypt jihadists threaten Pepsi,” Al Arabiya, April 26, 2014 (thanks to Halal Pork Shop):

They’ve been quick to claim bombings across Cairo in recent months, targeting security and police officials, but now Egyptian jihadist group Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis (or ‘Supporters of Jerusalem’) has another target in mind.

A soft drinks giant.

On Friday, the Sinai-based group threatened to attack Pepsi Co. for allegedly allowing the Interior Ministry to use their company vans to transport detainees.

“You know who we are and what we can do,” the group addressed the company on Twitter. “This is the last warning and after this, Pepsi Co. can only blame itself. By God, we will not tolerate working with the police whatever the client, the amount and status.”

Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis’ tweets: “You know who we are and what we can do”

The Coca-Cola cover up?

Back in March, Egyptian social media users were abuzz over video footage allegedly showing a police van painted with the Coca-Cola logo.

It is not clear if the incident is related to the recent threat from Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, as the two are separate companies.

The footage had shown the disguised truck, usually used for transporting prisoners, coated in the soft drink company’s trademark red, brandishing the logo.

But in response to the video, Coca-Cola Egypt announced that the van does not belong to the company, nor would it allow its trademark to be used on state-owned vehicles or facilities.

Since then, it still remains unclear why the Interior Ministry transport vans were disguised. The Egyptian government has ramped up its crackdown on supporters and members of Islamist groups since the ouster of Islamist President Mohammad Mursi last year.

A number of Gulf States, led by Saudi Arabia, have already designated Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis as a terrorist group. They were quickly followed by Washington.

    Never mind the Pepsi acronym, have you not realised that Coca-Cola is an anagram of “We, the Zionists, will take over the entire world and make you our slaves. And we control the entire media (although admittedly, we’re not doing a great job, as it almost univerally seems to be against us…somehow)”.

    How can you fools not see this?

    A number of Gulf States, led by Egypt and Saudi Arabia, have already designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group. They were NOT followed by Washington. Why? because the MB is running the WH.
    The designation of Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis as a terrorist group by Washington is nothing but a saving face strategy.

    Mahometans are always saying how they love death.

    Well, the Bible says that all who hate God love death.

    Proverbs 8:36
    But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

    FWIW, Pepsi Cola was so named because the original formula contained the digestive enzyme pepsin.

    It’s not so much the question “Was Muhammad a prophet?” It’s better stated “Was Muhammad a prophet sent by God or was Muhammad a false prophet sent by Satan to lead many people astray?” After all Jesus did warn “Beware of false prophet which comes to you in sheep’s clothing but are inwardly ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15. The Bible further warns that “many false prophets are gone forth into the world.” First John 4:1. To give the acid test if a prophet, teacher, or religion is teaching truth of falsehoods is if the prophet, teacher or religion has teaching and doctrines that are in according to God’s Word, the Bible. That if a person or religion has teachings and doctrines that are in contradiction to God’s Word then that prophet, teacher or religion is false. As Isaiah 8:20. explains “To the law of the testimony : If they speak not according to the word , it is because there is no light in them.” [KJV] Islam denies that Jesus is the Son of God. This is in contrast to the Bible which teaches that Jesus is indeed the Son of God, John 3:16, 17, and 36. First John 2:22, 23. Likewise. Islam denies that Jesus is God the Son. In contrast to Islam the Bible teaches that Jesus is God the God. As seen in Hebrews 1:6-8 with emphasis on verse 8. Furthermore, Islam denies that Jesus is God. This is in strong contradiction to the Bible which teaches that Jesus is God. As shown, for example, in John 1:1-3. Romans 9:5. Colossians 1:15-17. First John 5:20. Second Peter 1; 1. Titus 2:13. Moreover, by comparing the Old Testament with the New Testament will further show that Jesus is God, As in by comparing Isaiah 45:22,23. With Philippians 2:5-11. Will show Jesus is God. Also by comparing Psalm 89:8,9. With Matthew 8:23-27 will further confirm Jesus to be God. Even by comparing the New Testament book together will confirm Jesus to be God. As in John 5:22 with Romans 14:12 will show Jesus to be God. The list can go on but this should be enough. The imams and mullahs will try to “explain” this all away by claiming that Christians had corrupted the Bible through time. This claim greatly underestimates the power of God to preserve His Word in time and keep it intact and away from the corruption of men. In conclusion, Muhammad was a false prophet and Islam is a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6.

    The Pepsi corporation should cut off all shipments of their products to Egypt and then shut down all their operations in that country. And for that matter, all Muslim countries. No amount of profits is worth dealing with these ignorant murderous savages.

    Coca-cola should be jumping all over this. Maybe they could re-think
    an old marketing slogan and make it new:

    Coke, the choice of a new jihadi generation.

      The article from your link starts off like this – “Christianity is a Semitic religion, which claims to have nearly 1.2 billion adherents all over the world. Christianity owes its name to Jesus Christ (peace be on him). The Holy Bible is the sacred scripture of the Christians.”

      ~ Christianity doesn’t just ‘claim’ to have 1.2 billion adherents. It actually does. As for Islams claim of 1.5 billion adherents, well, I’d doubt that very much because you Muslims lie about just about everything.

      Also – It’s completely unnecessary to use the idiotic ‘peace be upon him’ phrase after you write or say Jesus’ name. Save that bullshit for your False Prophet.

      And here’s a rewrite of the first line – “Islam is an Anti- Semitic religion, which claims to have nearly 1.5 billion adherents all over the world, a claim that is most probably false, just as Mohammad’s claim to be a prophet was false.”

        Actually, all varieties of Christianity together add up to roughly 2.2 billion people, not 1.2.

        And interestingly enough, though taken altogether the current rate of growth of Christianity is less than that of Islam, there is one fairly significant strand of Christianity, comprising the so-called “Independent” churches ( my “Operation World” Christian “guide to prayer” distinguishes them, under this rubric, from the traditional Protestant churches, but they are NOT classed as “heretical”), that is growing *faster* than Islam. They currently account for about a quarter billion people and are growing at a rate of about 2.6 percent.

        Anti-Semitism is alive and well on these pages.
        WHY?
        If you are following the Islamist creed you should
        be able to say so. Able too but you won’t because
        that would expose the deceptive Taqiyya you
        are spewing. Jihadist Terror Attack doesn’t sit well
        with you so you call it, “Workplace Violence”.
        Like the President. Totally Shariah Compliant.

          You got it wrong, I think. The above two posters are proposing the *opposite* of a boycott.

          They are proposing that people preferentially *buy* products that are either a/ actually Israeli or b/ are associated with Israel by the mohammedans.

    This is crazy!!!! These people are crazy. Where do they get the idea that PEPSI stands for something about support Israel??? I never heard that and I have been drinking PEPSI for ever and have NEVER heard that before. I think they make stuff up against the jewish people and run with it. It does not have to be true. Just something ugly against the jews. Shame on them for being nasty!!!

    Just the drink for jihadis, NOT
    Twice as much for the riyal too

    Riyal…Riyal…Riyal…Riyal
