Video: Muslims burn piles of diapers because cartoon cat’s whiskers resemble Arabic for Muhammad

Feb 22, 2018 8:28 am By Robert Spencer

As we have seen with “Allah,” the style of Arabic characters make it possible to see words anywhere, and insults to Islam as well, if you’re inclined to be outraged all the time. This ridiculous story, which doesn’t seem to be a hoax or parody, shows that Muslims in India don’t have much of anything to be outraged about, but since their demands for special privileges and accommodation is fueled by outrage, they have to manufacture their own outrages. And they’re very good at it.

“Muslims burn piles of Pampers nappies and call for a ban because cartoon cat’s whiskers printed on them ‘look like the Arabic spelling of Mohammed,'” by Dave Rudge, Mailonline, February 22, 2018:

Muslim protests in India are calling for a boycott of Pampers products after claiming to have seen the word ‘Mohammed’ in the face of a cartoon cat which appears on its nappies.

The lines illustrating the whiskers, nose, mouth and left eye of the smiley feline have been suggested to resemble the Prophet’s name when written in Arabic or Urdu, although the company that makes the products vehemently denied the claims.

Procter and Gamble in a statement that said they would never intend to offend any person or religion and the the design showed ‘an innocent animated representation of a cat.’

However, the image on the hygiene product has been branded an ‘insult’ to Islam by critics, and protesters have staged ‘Pampers burnings’.

Video footage viewed more than 175,000 times online shows outraged parents making pyres out of Pampers Baby Dry Pants in the streets of India and torching whole packets in protest.

Activists from the Islamic group Darsgah Jihad-o-Shahadat yesterday lodged a formal complaint about the nappies at Dabeerpura Police Station in Hyderabad, reports the Deccan Chronicle.

In a letter to police, the group said Pampers – owned by US multinational Procter & Gamble – had ‘hurt the feelings’ of the Muslim community and called for the products to be taken off the shelves immediately.

It stated: ‘Even with (the) bare eye it is been identified that the name of Prophet (PBUH) can be seen printed on it in Urdu/Arabic.’

The Prophet Mohammed, it added, was a ‘holy personality in Islam’ and the ‘disrespect cannot be tolerated’.

The letter went on to say: ‘Arrest them and punish them.’

A spokesman for Pampers’ owner Procter & Gamble said: ‘We are aware of the false and misleading information about Pampers being spread via social media channels such as Facebook and YouTube.

‘The design on the Pampers Baby Dry Pants shows an innocent animated representation of a cat. It shows a cat’s mouth and whiskers like it is commonly portrayed in drawings and cartoons across the world, especially by little children.

‘The intent behind the use of this cartoon is completely innocent and we would never intend to offend any person, religion or cultural belief.’

Some social media users joined in the calls for a Pampers boycott, while others insisted the cartoon was just an innocent drawing of a cat which had been taken out of context.

Nasar Alam Khan wrote: ‘Please request every Muslim brother and sister to boycott this product. It’s the only way to prove our strength and the love for our Prophet.’

Imtiyaz Naikoo commented: ‘Please grow up. It’s a cat with two eyes and a moustache.’

Azam Shariff said: ‘Maybe it’s the fault of the creative team but whatever the case is, directly or indirectly, it’s manifesting the name of (our) holy Prophet.

‘That is a sheer desecration, it’s insulting. Don’t use the products until they change this, until they apologise.’…

    Those Indian Muslims are just looking for an excuse to be outraged, so they can get violent and push their Sharia agenda. Those cat whiskers on the diapers look nothing like the Arabic letters in question. Islam is a death-dealing “religion.”

    Islam is not even a religion according to the definition of true religion given in the Bible, James 1:27, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”

    Islam increases widows and orphans with their constant wars of conquest and domination for Allah and frequent raids to acquire slaves and sex slaves, which the Koran approves. And Islam definitely does NOT teach detachment from worldly pleasures…it promotes carnality and preaches a carnal paradise for killing innocent non-Muslims for Allah.

    • Peterson says

      Feb 22, 2018 at 11:40 am

      Indian Muslims are comparatively a better species than their wild brothers. Secondly it can be read as Mohammed because Arabic language is such that you can elongate the letters as much as you like. Also it can be put in that upright fashion too. The normal writing shown along side is also not the right way to write but commonly depicted in that way.

      • Jayell says

        Feb 22, 2018 at 5:52 pm

        It can be read as ‘Mohammed’ in Arabic with elongated letters if one has a mind to twist anything into anything else for whatever spurious reason one’s corrupted logic can dream up. To wantonly disregard the context of a cat’s face frankly suggests that some people here are having problems retaining their marbles and would benefit from a visit to a therapist.

      It’s so stupid….. If Muslims think this is actually the name of Mohammed in Arabic then why are they burning it?

    I find it amusing that they are offended and outraged to the point where they will set fire to these offensive whiskers to restore order. Shouldn’t they follow their own example and kill each other for burning Mo? We all know Unbelievers would be slaughtered for far less. (Try drawing Mo.)

    The hilarity of it all, when India has designated shitting streets.

    Where is the outrage from the UN for the offence caused to Muslims, and why aren’t all Western countries being forced to reduce greenhouse emissions just that bit more to accomodate the Muslims scorching baby britches?

    (Note: for those of you who missed it, this is just a bit of sarcasm.)

    • Westman says

      Feb 22, 2018 at 12:16 pm

      For a fresh breath of reality, read this, from a Muslim:

      “According to the 2014 [UN] report on knowledge in the Arab world [the Arab Knowledge Report], despite the 500 Arab universities, with an enrollment of nine million students and faculties of 220,000 lecturers, higher education in the Arab world is very meager in scientific research, in its failure to adapt to digital culture, and in its incompatibility with [universal] scientific and human culture.”

      https://www.algemeiner.com/2018/02/21/lebanese-journalist-100-years-after-balfour-declaration-arabs-have-failed-where-israel-has-excelled/

      “..its incompatibility with [universal] …… human culture.” – That is an apt conclusion.

      The real source of Muslim outrage is the frustration caused by the advanced world refusal to conform its accomplishments to the mundane and recognize Muslims as “the best of peoples”.

      Since conforming to Islam destroys any possibility of catching up to the modern West, most of its adherents can only compete in the physical arena – demonstrations, rage, burning, etc. Siezing on every opportunity makes them appear, like a convex mirror, less intelligent than they may actually be.

    There is no way to reason with people who are unreasonable and prone to anger at imaginary events. The only way to deal with these people is not to have to deal with them at all, by not being in their countries, and by not admitting them into ours.

    This shows you the great difference between Christian evangelism ,and Islamic mainstream. If a Christian evangelism see Christ written or his “face” in tree bark a potato ,or some other natural state, vegetable , or mineral he says its a cause for celebration .No call for destruction or killing they might get laugh at{rightfully so} they still do not get mad. A Islamic sees the world always at war against him even in innocent matters , insecurity is the foundation of Islam.

    • LeftisruiningCanada says

      Feb 22, 2018 at 3:50 pm

      Even if someone decided to write the name Jesus Christ in clear incontestable letters on the sole of his shoes or on the bottom of his toilet pan, there would be no calls for death and destruction from the Christians.

      We wouldn’t like it, and would feel wounded, but knowing what was done to the real Christ’s body for our sins, and Christ’s words that the world hated Him and would hate us too, we would only sorrow and pray for those who are lost and awaiting the judgment to come.

      The muslims see this as weakness and apathy.

      But they are so very very wrong.

      • WPM says

        Feb 22, 2018 at 6:23 pm

        +1
        All very true Islam does not see raging angry as a weakness ,no clear though can enter the mind in raging angry. No on invent anything in raging angry ,raging angry is a sign of impotent feelings and lose of reasoning .Most religions speak powerfully of introspect ,reasoning ,self awareness ,love, not Islam. Islam is the forever hurt feelings of a two year old it all about him which is forgivable in a two year old ,but pathetic in a grow up. Islam god allah is a mean slave master who does not love his creation man, men are not his children that he loves ,they are slaves who grovel at his feet. If you worship a unfeeling God you have no love or apathy in your Holy books you miss out are what it is to be human. You should not be hated but pity ,

    They will be much too busy to look for imaginary insults.

    • LeftisruiningCanada says

      Feb 22, 2018 at 4:03 pm

      Exactly.

      But that would provide less opportunities to attack others and play the victim.

      Though maybe they would just blame the kuffar for forcing them to work so hard with the cloth diapers, since it is their right to be granted all the wishes of their hearts.

  22. WPM says

    Let us put pictures of cats on all food products and they will starve to death .Lets put it on all building material ,all medical supplies ,all guns, pistols ,knives , cars, trucks ,plane cars, ships we in the west can run the world with hello kitty stickers! Like in the all movies with vampires running from the cross hissing these Islamics are a lot of pussies that are shaken at any symbol. If the sun did not shine today it would be the kuffar,s fault ,if crops fail, bread did not raise ,goat stop giving milk, underwear has too many track marks, one shoe disappeared, it all part of the kaffar,s plot to keep the best of people, Moslems down . I guess that what is happens slamming your head onto the ground at least 5 times a day ,you see dark plots in everyday objects ,no wonder they cannot invent anything .

      If they were spiritually normal we’d probably do these types of boycott. But it seems that rather than see some of our innocents killed by fanatics we walk on by instead. This “I keel you! I keel you!” blackmail seems to work for now but will we be forced to fight craziness with craziness someday – or will it be too late by then? Why hasn’t money wasted on ingrate refugees gone toward supporting larger families by and for our own people?

    By the way, the Indian media has completely blacked out these protests. I am sitting in Mumbai and have not heard a whisper about this. The Indian media, by the way, mirrors the media in Europe and America. Which means, if s Muslim is killed by a Hindu, it makes headlines for days, with the headline usually reading ‘Hindu murders Muslim’. On the other hand, if a Muslim murders a Hindu or Christian, which is way more likely, the headline usually reads ‘Man loses life in riot’. The unspoken rule – a Muslim can do no wrong.

      Feb 23, 2018 at 8:23 am

      Yes they will go nuclear over hello kitty ,over any kind of music , art ,logic ,reasoning , a very violent cult with no sense of humor .I guess being the slaves own by Allah puts there egos in Islam little safe space invaded by the slights little bit of truth from the really world outside. Jews, Christians ,Atheist ,ect. ,can make fun of themselves , laugh , sing, talk and mingle between the sexes. They can paint write, question life meaning , free will, while Islam keeps it followers in an angry lock box looking out at the fun in everyday life. Filling them into a hate filled rage of angry and envy.
