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."
If the shoe fits, wear it.
CAIR can go to h@ll. I will think, speak, and do as I please. From what I read the ads sound funny, and if the dealership wants to air it, let them. I am sick of these murders. It is time to hurt them. I think muslims should be unconquered in the middle east. Those guys stole it from others by the sword, they can be rolled backed by the sword.
Here's the fatwa that was issued in the U.S.

if feet offends them, perhaps they should all cut their feet off....lol
Tough titties--this is America and we're free to advertise as we see fit. Too much "sensitivity" makes us weak. Screw you who have a problem with it.
I'm beginning to believe in evolution: given enough time, dogs and pigs will breed and produce a Muslim.
Well, that depends. I believe the Clear Channel stations haven't said no. As for those not running the ad, Radio One is minority owned and listened to, and Sunny 95 targets women from 25-54 (not usually a conservative bunch here in Central Ohio.)
But, the two big Rock stations in town (WLVQ and WBZX) are pretty much guaranteed to run the ad, and I would suspect WTVN, the big AM news-talk station will run it as well.
Look up "thin-skinned" in a dictionary -- next to the definition you'll see a picture of a Muslim...
Tomorrows news:
"I took a dump last night... Muslims upset!"
INAZI Logic at it's finest...
As much as I dislike what I've learned about islam in the last five years, I surely wouldn't be attracted by advertizing like that.
I guess they have learned that buyers that respond to TV for autos are Jerry Springer viewers.
Oooooooo.... I'm not feeling the love here. [Sarc /on]
Seriously, well done. Everyone should do what you did.
If the hajjimuzzies want a culture war, then let the games begin! Me and my 30-06 are waiting.
):^(
(snort!) Bwaaahaaaahahahaha!
"They are planning on launching a jihad on the automotive market and their representatives would be wearing burqas ... ," Mirza said.
FUNNY STUFF!
LOL!
These muslims are like 12 year old mental retards.I wish they would all just get out of OUR country!Their way of life just simply is not condusive with being an American.
This from the group that thinks the crescents on outhouse doors are part of some racist conspiracy...
bttt
Upset? Where's the rage? Or are they actually working on spiffing up the image?
I just sent the dealer an email of support.
