After outlawing cigarettes, alcohol, musical instruments, skinny jeans, and even pigeon-breeding, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants have now decreed their latest ban: products from U.S. sports apparel firm Nike.
According to a leaflet distributed in ISIS’ de-facto capital of Raqqa, the prohibition of the brand, popular for its shoes, tracksuits and shirts, “Nike” sounds like an Arabic slang word for sexual intercourse, UK paper The Daily Mail reported earlier this week.
“O youth, beware of foreign words and symbols of infidels on our clothes,” the leaflet warned, adding that the name of the sport brand was identical to the name of the Greek goddess of victory, which – like all other belief systems outside its own – ISIS regards as pagan.
Those daring enough to flout the rule will face punishments ranging from a small fine to whipping and all the way to imprisonment to those buying or selling Nike products, according to the leaflet.
The ban comes despite ISIS’s most famous commanders - including the Iraqi leader Abu Waheeb – are often seen wearing Western sportswear brands.
To clear confusion the sports giant chairman confirmed last year that Nike is pronounced ‘Nikey,’ making it not so much of a ‘lewd’-sounding word in Arabic.
If they don’t like Nike, they can make their own shoes. Oh .... I forgot ..... they’re not advanced enough to make a pair of shoes and none of them have jobs.
Bet they aren’t anywhere near as virtuous as they make themselves out to be.
Islam and liberalism, where everything that isn’t forbidden is mandatory.
Perusing the pics of the dead pedo head choppers over the last 4 years, Adidas is the preferred brand when you just have to jihad.
Look for a big marketing push by Patagonia. Sounds just enough like pedophilia to be acceptable to the jihadis.
“Bet they aren’t anywhere near as virtuous as they make themselves out to be.”
They are murderous thugs Who commit crimes in the name of Allah.

oh my... please tell me that’s not our
first lady” ?
*sigh*
Before I read the article, I knew it had to have something to do with the Nike logo. Poor saps. I’ll bet there are a lot of odd squiggles that spell something in Arabic. Didn’t they see the name of”Allah” in a picture of a soft-serve ice cream cone some years back? I’ll bet my dog’s poop this morning spelled something in Arabic too. I picked it up, though, so no local Muslim (if there are any) need to worry about being offended.

This just in... ISIS refuses to shop at Christian bakeries. News at 11.
