CINCINNATI (Reuters) - A car commercial proclaiming a jihad on the U.S. auto market and offering "Fatwa Fridays" with free swords for the kids is offensive and should not be aired, Muslim leaders said on Sunday.
The radio advertisement for the Dennis Mitsubishi car dealership in Columbus, Ohio, has "a whole jihad theme," said Adnan Mirza, director of the Columbus office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
"They are planning on launching a jihad on the automotive market and their representatives would be wearing burqas ... ," Mirza said. "They mentioned the pope in there and also about giving rubber swords out to the kiddies -- really just reprehensible-type comments."
Details of the radio ad, which has not yet been broadcast, have been reported in the local media, but officials at the dealership declined to comment about the content of the radio spot.
Two employees at the dealership said they had been deluged with calls about the commercial.
"The ad has never been released, it is not out for public listening," said one employee who declined to give his name. He would not say whether the dealership had changed its mind about airing the commercial.
Tokyo-based Mitsubishi Motors Corp. could not immediately be reached for comment.
Mirza said several local radio stations had already rejected the ad and he hoped the controversy would convince the dealership to rethink its sales strategy.
He also said the Council on American-Islamic Relations would likely contact the dealer to "offer some kind of cultural or sensitivity awareness training."
I must assume that you know what it takes to make money.
Indeed I do! And how many times have you been told, "You sure are lucky!"? My answer is: "Yeah, particularly all thirty years when I was working at least 15 hours a day, mortgaged my house to meet payrolls but didn't pay myself, put my kids to sleep in sleeping bags on the floor at the office so the wife and I could work straight through the night, etc. It was a real barrel of laughs and luck, man".
LOL! OK, ya got me. I'm going to be out of a job at the end of the year so a new or even used vehicle is out of the question.
but if I could, I would buy from them.......
Ahh, the poor babies of the religion of the perpetually pissed are upset!
I Know Exactly What You Mean!
You Nailed It!
No "Luck" Involved!
The Word IS "Work"!
Ya wanna make it? Then, Work for it!
(So ya "give up" a few things in the "short run"...so what... SO..ya "make it up" in the "long run"...and so what ya gonna believe in...luck...the government...to take care of you.....only idiots belive in "luck" or a "social security check"... and believe me I'm old enough to know)

IF anything on this Earth proves what C. S. Lewis said...... Islime Does!
But that goes without saying, doesn't it? That's why you posted his quote.
Well Done. Well Said.
ROFL! It's Sheikh Evil and his Mini-Me!
I COULDN'T CARE LESS that this upsets the islmofascists incl but not ltd to cair.
BUT w/ that said...I don't really like this concept either ONLY B/C I think doing this to make $ devalues the VICTIMS of the disgusting islmofascists. When I 1st heard about this story over the weekend that was my 1st thought on the matter. Unfortunately, the article I saw later about this had that astardba of the Columbus chap of cair saying "Using that as a promotional pitch when so many are dying from the criminal activity of suicide bombers, that's not funny,". Like I believe for 1 NANOSECOND that he really cares about the vic's he refers to, IMHO, for HIM to refer to them in that manner as a reason for the ads not to run is FAR FAR FAR worse than the dealership is for creating the ad, as well as, absolutely disgusting coming from HIM considering who & what that astardba is.
BTW, the quote I gave in the above paragraph came from the following link entitled "Ohio Car Dealership Blasted for Jihad Ad":

"Blasted"? Accidental choice of wording or on purpose & if on purpose...for what purpose? If on purpose, that could encourage "retaliation" vs the dealership.
dearolddad,
Pigs & Dogs EVERYWHERE are deeply offended @ your remark connecting them to terroristic murdering muzzies. Esp since pigs are despised (actually closer to feared) by the terrorist murdering muzzies & dogs are almost disliked as much as pigs by the murdering terroristic islamies.
