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.
How 'bout a *ahem* phallic device *ahem* equipped with the head of mohammed on the tip (fuse optional). That'd be one funny novelty item.
Find a good supplier, ship a box of them to each mosque in the middle east along with instructions for proper use and I think we could get this whole culture clash show on the road.
"Well let me tell you about REAL hen parties, Miss Red"

Yikes! No! I'm too chicken.
And to think that, all these years, I thought I was a REAL hen. (Not a Rhode Island Red, BTW.)
Ping the Freeper Femenist Mafia...
They can fill you in.

I think I'd rather remain in ignorance on this one. I guess I am a lady who has led a very sheltered life.
Has anyone started an alphabetized list of items that "should be banned" in order to make Islam happy?
I think a database is probably required.

Good point! So true.
