Cowardice, thy name is Burger King: Burger King recalls ‘sacrilegious’ desserts. (Hat tip: efuseakay.)

THE fast-food chain, Burger King, is withdrawing its ice-cream cones after the lid of the dessert offended a Muslim.

The man claimed the design resembled the Arabic inscription for Allah, and branded it sacrilegious, threatening a “jihad”.

The chain is being forced to spend thousands of pounds redesigning the lid with backing from The Muslim Council of Britain. It apologised and said: “The design simply represents a spinning ice-cream cone.”

The offending lid was spotted in a branch in Park Royal last week by business development manager Rashad Akhtar, 27, of High Wycombe.

He was not satisfied by the decision to withdraw the cones and has called on Muslims to boycott Burger King. He said: “This is my jihad. How can you say it is a spinning swirl? If you spin it one way to the right you are offending Muslims.”

A Muslim Council spokesman said: “We commend the sensitive and prompt action that Burger King has taken.”

Wishing is not even effective in a target rich environment.

These idiot mohammedans need to try de-caf.....or else get a less stupid cult.

Ummm, I'm hungry for ice cream.........

[onewhowatches]

That symbol doesn't belong on ice cream! Some enterprising company should put it on pork rinds or something equally appropriate!

And leave it there.

Both images remind me of dog turds.

Oh, for pities sake......

Hey, now that he's made a terrorist threat, can we nail him?

This IS the 21st century. It's about time those pricks wake up to that fact.

I'm guessing that he ate a BACON double cheese burger and washed it down with the shake before filing a complaint.

"This is a joke, right?" "Jihad?"

No. Odd as it may sound, there are people who actually believe in declaring war on a fast food company. While we call them "liberals" in the US, they're known as "jihadists" in many other places.

Allah is a false god that began when a unknown time traveler accidentally dropped a Burger King ice cream lid while visiting the 7th century that was subsequently discovered by Muhammad

A couple of years ago, I saw an amazing "History of Islam" post by some creative genius here (and I mean that sincerely). I would LOVE to see it again and send it my friends. It was enlightening and funny at the same time.

I await the first of the artists who will show his or her courage by challenging the Islamic world as they did the Christian world.

Theo Van Gogh.

Mohammed never ate ice cream, so I don't think Muslims should do something that Mohammed didn't do and obviously didn't approve of.

An imam has issued a fatwa against eating ice cream.

[uglybiker]

Good thing the haven't seen one o' these.

Sounds like somebody needs to sit down and enjoy a cool, tasy treat. Maybe they'll sit still long enough to grow some skin.

[Malacoda]

Yeah. My mamaw threw shoes the same way. She was Clint Eastwood, with a low-heeled pump.

These friggin' people have too much time on their hands.

[hershey]

This may seem silly, but it's anything but. They start with seemingly inconsequential things to complain about and demand change, and then work up to the big stuff....the imposition of an Islamic state. If we accept the small stuff, we'll capitulate much faster in the end.

Are these people blind and stupid? Talk about hypersensitive!
