Religion of Silly Seething

Here’s a followup to yesterday’s post about a Muslim Burger King employee who threatened a jihad over a design for an ice cream package that resembled the Arabic symbol for “Allah.”

Burger King promptly capitulated and removed the product from their stores.

Today The Sun published a picture of the dastardly dessert. (Hat tip: zulubaby.)

Sounds like the dingbats here in the US who are enraged because the memorial resembles a crescent.

[The Phantom FReeper]

What a bunch of drama queens.

[Ben Mugged]

Now let me get this right, the Arabic symbol for Allah is a spinning ice cream cone?

[Thumper1960]

When did the French buy Burger King?!

BTW............took my dog for a walk this evening.............

She crapped another "Allah" on the curb.

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

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?

[Bullyj]

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

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.

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.

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!

[stylin19a]

aint even close....
guess BK is now out for me...

[Billthedrill]

This is that "cultural confidence" that Steyn referred to in his articles on Islam. What it amounts to is a number of young Moslem men walking around with a chip on their collective shoulder daring the world to knock it off. Of course they're bullies. They're very successful bullies.

"Mau Mau"ing was a successful agitator's technique in the 70's until people started to fight back. This is nothing more than that bit of threat and violence rehashed. It will continue as long as it is successful.

Reason enough for me to break down and buy some Burger King ice cream – do they have this at American outlets?

[The Fop]

Whew, that was close. We wouldn't want Burger King to become a "gathering ground" for terrorists.
