These CAIR folk are a pip, but this statement:
Asma Mobin-Uddin, president of the Columbus chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told the Dispatch that the ad's tone and imagery were "mocking and disrespectful to many different areas. One is Islamic faith and Islamic culture."
"Using that as a promotional pitch when so many are dying from the criminal activity of suicide bombers, that's not funny," she said. "I don't think it's appropriate when it causes real pain. It exploits or promotes misunderstanding in terms already misunderstood or misused. That type of ad does nothing but promote discord in a very difficult time. The timing is just amazing. Maybe that's part of the shock value."
takes the cake...although it does seem to almost condemn the homicide bombers and their minions, I'm sure Asma will be taken to task for that.
As for the ad itself, it is in bad taste, but a lot of ads are, it's what makes people remember them.
"Uglúk u bagronk sha pushdug Saruman-glob búbhosh skai."
Cheers!
