There is nothing wrong with protesting this and registering one’s objection to it. Behind all such protests, however, is the reality of jihad violence. Many Western companies have acceded to these demands and given the protesters what they wanted not because they were worried about boycotts or declining sales, but because of the genuine possibility that if the demands were rejected, violence could follow. But all who point out the dangers of a belief system that considers violence holy and blessed in certain contexts are vilified and dismissed as “Islamophobic.”
“Kanye West is slammed for ‘making a mockery’ of Islam after naming latest model of his £180 Yeezy trainers after the Islamic angels of judgement and death,” by Luke Andrews, Mailonline, August 23, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Kanye West has been slammed for ‘making a mockery’ of Islam after naming his new £180 trainers after the Islamic angels of judgement and death.
The Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Israfil is already being stocked by Adidas, while the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Asriel is expected to be released next month.
Social media users have taken aim at the former artist and sports company, accusing them of making an ‘extremely hurtful insult’ for the naming which they ‘must make amends for’….
Social media users are calling for the shoes names to be immediately changed, an apology, and for Adidas to review how it names footwear.
One enraged shopper criticised the trainer’s [sic] on Twitter, writing: ‘Angels, are considered to be blessed creatures of God in Islam as well as other religious.
‘For Adidas to associate what Muslims believe as being such blessed creatures with shoes is an extremely, hurtful insult which they must take amends for.
‘It is not acceptable to make a mockery out of the beliefs of others. Even if it were to be a mistake, it would be considered extremely heedless to allow such a blunder.’
A second added: ‘Horrible name choice for a shoe. Israfil is one of the four archangels in Islam. Adidas – you should have done your homework. Not too late to fix this.’
And a third said: ‘(Israfil) is an angel held in high regard in the Islamic faith and we as Muslims demand you change the name.
‘It is highly offensive to the status of this mighty angel.’
Another user added: ‘Enjoy the backlash and outrage huns @kanyewest @theyeezymafia @adidas. This is disgraceful. Shame on you.
Israfil is one of four archangels in Islam. He is usually depicted with a horn, which he will blow on Qiyamah – or the day of judgement.
Asriel is Islam’s archangel of death, and is said to transport the souls of the deceased after they have passed on….

+1 The shoes are almost half as ugly as the doctrine. For once, I can see why Muslims would be offended. I hope some might by renouncing Islam, to avoid being associated with those shoes.
william carr says
Moose Limbs are so thin skinned I am surprised we cannot see their internal parts all the time. Of course this is only some SM nut jobs getting on the high horse as usual. I certainly would not buy anything from this nobody anyway even if they were not incredibly ugly.
It also shows once again how Moham copied Christianity/Judaism by having angels, as though an almighty deity needs assistants and messengers. What a joke.
yiyoya says
Oh brother! I really do get sick and tired of the Muslim’s touchy pride and childish hypersensitivity.
“It is not acceptable to make a mockery out of the beliefs of others.”
Yes it is. Specially when your beliefs are ridiculous and worthy of mockery. If it hurts your touchy pride or childish hypersensitivity to be mocked stay in your basement or under your momma’s skirt.

I agree, yiyoya, Muslims are permanently outraged about everything that happens in our western, civilised, infidel societies. The solution is to keep Muslims out of our non-Muslim societies and then we wouldn’t have to put up with their constant whingeing and whining about everything. Muslims have no intention of ever getting along with our non-Muslim ways of living life and are nothing but a whingeing, constantly outraged pain in the arse. Keep them out and then who cares what these angry Muslim ants think about anything. They don’t belong anywhere but in their own backward Muslim countries. I never hear of Buddhists getting outraged because something in our western countries has offended them, but with Muslims it never ends.

Screw em! Mudslimes are outraged at everyone and everything.
And as a side note, the arch angel Asriel is actually AZRAEL the angel of death. The one who helps souls to the other side. Comes from the Hebrew beliefs, so just one more thing Mo stole, perverted and then claimed ownership of for Mudslimes.

Muslims enraged at Kanye West for ‘making a mockery’ of Islam by naming shoes after Islamic angels
……………..
Islam is already a mockery. Ugly athletic shoes don’t make a difference one way or another.
And this isn’t the first time Mohammedans have gotten bent out of shape about sneakers:
“Nike Faces Demand to Recall Sneakers as Muslims Object to Design”
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-01-31/nike-faces-demand-to-recall-sneakers-as-muslims-object-to-design
Muslims claimed–pretty implausibly–that the stylized “Air Max” logo was Arabic script that read “Allah”. Just another way to mess with the Infidels, and cost them money.
GreekEmpress says
At least Kanye has enough loot for the upcoming CAIR litigation jihad—
gravenimage says
I hope he stands firm.
Rarely says
Hmmm. Naming two shoes after two islamic archangels (israfi & asriel) at the same time. What an incredible coincidence. Couldn’t possibly have known in advance and was just trying to p*** ’em off. Nah, it was just a coincidence. Probably got the names from two dogs in his neighbourhood (pit bulls for sure).
FYI says
BTW that ‘angel’ Jibreel?
“the angel Jibreel is the enemy of the Jews”
{Sahih Bukhari vol 4 book 60 no 3329}
An islamic ‘angel’: an ‘angel’ with an antisemitic bias?
Such an entity couldn’t possibly come from the Biblical God YHWH of course.
{YHWH surely would not have antisemitic angels:they would be demons,right?}
Such islamic ‘angels’ come from al Lah the Arab god{HINT:’the BEST of deceivers’ koran 3:54}
“Well,no wonder!Even satan can disguise himself as an angel of light”
2 Corinthians 11 v 14
So muhammed{APBUH,actual prophecy be quite unknown to him}who cursed the Jews{Sahih Muslim 1082}and mass-murdered the Jews{Abu Dawud 4390} received his ‘revelations’ in a cave {with no witnesses} from a god who curses the Jews{Koran 2:65,koran 9:30}through the intercession of the ‘angel’ Jibreel who is the enemy of the Jews..
muhammed who admitted to being a FALSE prophet..
“I have fabricated things against God and imputed to him things he has not said”
Al Tabari 6:111
muhammed who died after being poisoned by an enslaved captured Jewish woman thus suffering the fate decreed for FALSE prophets{see Deuteronomy 18:20}
Wait a minute..hold up..somethin’ ‘aint right:this story seems fishy…
A violently antisemitic weirdo {who ADMITS to being a false prophet al tabari 6:111}receives his revelations from an antisemitic god{allah,who ADMITS to being the best at deceiving people koran 3:54} in a cave {with no witnesses}through the intercession of an antisemitic ‘angel’….

Poor Islam. Always being insulted but never insulting others … oh wait, I forgot that the so-called Prophet has basically negated the very foundations of Christianity (“Jesus is not God’s son”, “There is no Three” (in reference to the Holy Trinity, which allah’s so-called prophet got wrong by saying it is God, Jesus, and Mary), and that “Jesus was not crucified, allah tricked the Jews and had them crucify someone else”).
As soon as Islamists apologize for that terrible slander of Christianity then we can worry about Kanye’s shoe names.

So they would qualify as..hell’s angels?.but they probably wouldn’t have Hogs{=Harleys} in allah’s hell as allah has a serious problem with Pork or any references to it.
The bikes would have to be Japanese imports..which would be a cruel ironic punishment..
Khushi says
Perpetually outraged religion 🙁
One Heer Khan made nasty remarks on Hindu Gods and guess what? Not a single violent protest – not a single police station burnt – not a single bus or police jeep burnt – not a single private vehicle burnt – no one died – no one was injured; only one man complained about it by writing a letter to the authorities.
The violent incidents mentioned above are what the muslims did in Bangalore recently when a Hindu man retaliated with an anti mohammed-FB post to a muslim man’s FB post denigrating a Hindu God. PS – Police arrested the Hindu man.
So, basically the deal they want is this – we will speak ill of other religions as much as we want without facing any consequences; but no one, absolutely no one, shall speak ill of our religion.

So true.

Maybe West designed the shoes to be ugly on purpose and gave them those Islamic angel names. Next he should design ugly women’s shoes and name them Allat, Uzza and Manat after the three goddesses of the Satanic verses of the Quran.

…says Sam the rabidly antisemitic nazi troll who can never make up his split
1]Only 99:99%?
2]It is Semitic not semetic {sic} ,Nephilim not niphilim{sic}
Judaism and Christianity have the Golden Rule and 2 chief Love Commandments {Deut 6:4-9,Lev19:18}:islam doesn’t have these things.
“All semetic{sic} religions are filled with hate and stupidity” is clearly an illogical irrational statement that can only come from a ranting attention-seeking lunatic such as your ignorant self.
3]Do not lecture me on Quantum Science:there is no such field as ‘Quantum Science’.It is Quantum Mechanics.You don’t know what you are babbling on about!
4]’If you start a research..’:you mean like your epic 1000 page Book project?
It’ll belong in the FANTASY conspiracy section where you no doubt will blame bad Jews for killing the ‘Real Jews’ in the Shoah.
5]Mr Robert Spencer is not filled with hate.To be critical of islamic tyranny anf Jihadism is not hate.Since you are a Jew hating nazi bigot {as your commentary here at JW shows}you must be thinking of Richard Spencer.
I’m sure you would prefer him given your ‘hate filled’ remarks about Jews.
There is no such thing as ‘islamophobia’ and criticism of islam is not racism as islam is not a race
6}So you wish EVIL on others by wishing coronovirus on them?
Isn’t that HATE projected on to others{YES}?
You don’t get Irony or Logic do you mr genius?
YOU are the one who is ‘hate-filled’.
7]promise you will never reproduce so there will never be a ‘son of Sam’

You think you are smart but you keep demonstrating how ill-informed and ill-educated you are.

You are a Scientifically,Theologically,Linguistically and Logically challenged idiot:writing your Epic 1000 page book should be hilarious.Good luck with that mr genius!

I don’t fall for stinky propaganda, Hitler loved his people, but the Zionists wanted to rob and steal people’s wealth, as they did to the Weimar republic before … of course, the Rothschild s used all, financed both sides, financed the killing of 6 million Jews, all to establish their state, from which they are planing to rule the whole world (NWO).

Actually, most of us here don’t hate Muslims–we just don’t want them killing us and imposing brutal Shari’ah law in our civilized lands.
“Sam” has said before that he is not referring to the Muslim “Jesus”, whose main role it is to slaughter Christians in the last days according to Islam. But the idea that Jesus would cast people into hell for opposing the persecution and murder of Christians and other non-Muslims can be nothing else.
He must get so confused trying to keep his ugly and irrational bs straight here.

How is opposing Jihad terror indicative of a lack of decency? And pretending that taking this often hazardous stance is done for “money and fame and power” is truly bizarre. Does “Sam” here really believe that standing up to violent Muslims is a quick route to fame and riches? Just laughable.

As far as I’m concerned, and I’m no Christian or Muslim, yet, the dirtiest Muslim is cleaner than the cleanest of you, the Zionists…

So raping children and slaughtering unbelievers is “clean”, but if Jews are able to live in freedom, that is “dirty”? Then, the idea that if anyone opposes Jihad terror that they are ergo Zionists is really strange. Many here support Israel; but certainly not all. Is it only “Zionists” who oppose Jihad terror.
And “Sam” continues to claim that he is not Muslim, yet all the rhetoric he spouts is mainstream Islam apologia.

When has *anyone* at Jihad Watch said they were murderers or thieves? Where has anyone preached murder and thievery here? What “Sam” actually means is that we have dared to criticize Muslims murdering and stealing.

And so now he comes out in favor of Hitler and the Holocaust–why does *this* not surprise? The other day he said that Jews were responsible for the Holocaust themselves–grotesque calumny. And who is stealing “trillions if money” (whatever that means) from Europe? And what “lies” have been told against Hitler? “Sam” here is more unhinged all the time–which is usually what happens when Muslim apologists have their ugly claptrap challenged by good people.
