This is reminiscent of Nike’s Allah shoes and Pepsi’s subliminal messaging for Israel.
“Pakistani man claims QR code on 7UP bottle bears Prophet Muhammad’s name, asks Pepsi to remove it or face dire consequences,” OpIndia, January 1, 2022:
A Twitter user going by the handle @ImranNoshad has posted a video on his Twitter account on December 31 about a Pakistani man threatening American carbonated behemoth Pepsi for printing a QR code with the name of Prophet Muhammad on its 7UP bottles.
In the 1.17-minute long video a man, who identifies himself as Mulla, is heard threatening a Pepsi company’s truck driver with dire consequences if the QR Code on a 7 UP bottle is not removed by the company. On enquiring, Mulla, insisted that the QR code is actually the name of Prophet Muhammad and if the company does not remove the logo he will burn the truck.
The social media user tried to convince him that it is the Quick Response code (QR code), a machine-readable optical label that contains information about the item to which it is attached, but the man seemed to be not convinced. The man was heard saying: “Yeh 7 UP ke bottle par dekhe…aap sidha kar ke dekhe..is par Muhammad ka Naam hain” (See the 7UP bottle, keep it straight and see..you can see the name of Prophet Muhammad).
The social media user recording the entire incident explained to Mulla that the logo he is talking about is actually the QR code, but Mulla maintained the QR code is the name of Prophet.
He then went on to tell the truck driver that he should ask the company authorities to remove the logo or else they will be courting a massive war…we will fight and burn the vehicle.
On enquiring, the driver who stood calmly beside the protestor informed that the truck belonged to PepsiCo India. He informed me that he is the driver and the salesman of the company.
Mulla reiterated that he has asked him to appeal to the company to either remove the logo or else be ready to bear the consequences. “Do Teen din baad mein truck jala sakta hoon”, (I can burn the truck after two to three days) warned Mulla, adding: “Mein Allah ke liye kuch bhi kar sakta hoon, jaan bhi de sakta hoon” (I can do anything for Allah, give away my life too).
In his subsequent Tweet, Imran Noshad Khan (@ImranNoshad) wrote: “but later I realized that is a mob and the guy was very aggressive, they can do anything. With difficulty, I seated the driver and made him leave safely.”
He added in another Tweet “When the truck driver left and I was also about to leave, he screamed and said to me that I belong to Jamat-ud-Dawa, and I have also fought in Kashmir, my reach is to upper level.”
Jamaat-ud-Dawah is a banned terrorist organisation founded by Lashkar-e-Taiba chief and Mumbai blast mastermind Hafiz Saeed. The LeT, led by JuD chief Saeed, is responsible for carrying out the 2008 Mumbai attack that killed 166 people, including six Americans. Saeed, an UN-designated terrorist whom the US has placed a USD 10 million bounty on, was arrested on July 17 last year in the terror financing cases. The 70-year-old JuD chief is lodged at Lahore’s high-security Kot Lakhpat jail….

I’ll bet that Pepsico caves to this silliness.

Unfortunately, you’re probably right.
Ade Fegan says
Probably already has !
somehistory says
mozlums want to be offended. They look for things that they can claim is an offense against their fake ‘prophet’ and false ‘god’ and their unholy book of evil filth.
Any thing will do…even things just made up or imagined. Rage, murder, burning, destruction…over nothing because islam is less than zero….no value, no virtue, just demon filth.
tim gallagher says
The thing that strikes me about this report is the way that Muslims always immediately resort to violence or the threat of violence. So this fuckwit threatens to burn the truck. Members of other, more decent and civilised religions, might complain about something that they believe offends them, but they wouldn’t be threatening violence. islam is fundamentally violent and Muslims always instantly threaten violence. Oh, but, of course, we all know that islam is fundamentally peaceful.
gravenimage says
Exactly, Tim.
tim gallagher says
Yes, it’s always violence and bullying and thuggery from Muslims, gravenimage. How anyone actually buys the “Islam is peaceful” garbage is beyond me.
gravenimage says
It’s takes a real “dedication” to willful ignorance to swallow this tripe.
Keith O says
It’s difficult to get my head around this level of abject stupidity.
Perhaps the story should be spread that air & water are contaminated by pigs and then sit back and watch the problem self correct itself.

Pakistan: Muslim insists 7Up bottle bears Muhammad’s name, threatens to burn delivery truck
………….
This is even more stupid that saying the same about the logo itself, and that’s saying a lot.
Muslims constantly look for ways to be offended. If Pepsi had any sense, they’d just pull their business out of the country.
Infidel says
Did this incident happen in Pakistan or in Kashmir? The story wasn’t clear. If there was a Paki man in India, why didn’t Pepsi India alert the Indian authorities? And if it was in Pakistan, how is Pepsi India operating in Pakistan, where no Indian company operates?
gravenimage says
Looks like Pakistan, Infidel. This thug is saying that he also fought in Kashmir–Pakistani Jihadists sneaking into India to wage Jihad is not uncommon.
Infidel says
That begs the next question: what is Pepsi India doing in Pakistan?
gravenimage says
Good question, Infidel.
It looks at though Pepsi is in Pakistan as Pepsi Cola International

But you are right–the victim was a driver and salesman for Pepsi India as stated in the article.
But whichever branch of Pepsi is doing business in Pakistan, it is profoundly foolish.
By the way, there is Islamic claptrap all over the intetrnet claiming that Pepsi is either alcoholic or contains pig intestines, as well as that it is a Jewish company and all profits go to Israel. Why Pepsi would want to deal with these idiots is unclear even before this case.
PMK says
Western companies should just pull out of all Muslim companies. Let Pakistanis find their own jobs.
On the bright side, these Muslims are good for a laugh. Whatever Pepsico India chooses to do in response, it’s their problem.
gravenimage says
PMK, it’s also our problem if American or other Western companies kowtow to Islam.

You cannot have a rational conversation with an irrational person.

Islam – the ideology of the perpetually offended and belligerent…..
Infidel says
Michael Medved, in his saner days, used to call islam ‘the religion of perpetual outrage’
