Muslim fury at sexualized toy
Religion News ^ | Feb 9th 2006 | Guy Patrick

Posted on 02/09/2006 8:50:40 AM PST by laney

Furious Muslims have blasted adult shop Ann Summers for selling a blow-up male doll called MUSTAFA SHAG.

They complained that the novelty sex toy insults the Prophet Muhammad — who also has the title al-Mustafa.

The High Street chain’s jokey £15 mustachioed doll has a 7in manhood and is targeted at hen parties.

But the Muslim Association — based at Manchester’s Central Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre — branded him “obnoxious”.

Yesterday a spokesman said: “This is the name of our Prophet and it’s very upsetting. This thing should be banned.”

In a letter to the store, the Association said: “You have no idea how much hurt, anguish and disgust this obnoxious phrase has caused to Muslims. We are asking you to have our Most Revered Prophet’s name ‘Mustafa’ and the afflicted word ‘shag’ removed.”

Last night Ann Summers said: “If anyone has a better name, please let us know. We’ll happily change it.”

The row follows global furore over cartoons which depicted Muhammad as a terrorist.

mustachioed doll has a 7in manhood

According to NOW, that alone would warrant terrorist status.

I loved his interview of Tyne Daly's character in the promotion board and Ms. Gray.

I believe his buzzword for that moview was, "swell".

Muslim outrage is not news. They are perpetually outraged. It will be news the day they are NOT outraged.

I find this almost as disturbing as the Islamofascists. What in the heck is going on at hen parties in the UK? Not like any hen parties I attend.

How about rag-head shag? Is that less offensive to them?

Settle down, maggots...

It has a 7 in. "manhood".
The prophet (sbuh) had only an inch and a half.
