The Fifth Ave. Apple store serves the same purpose for Macheads as the kaaba does for muslims. Form follows function.

Muslim cabbies at some US airport that refused to take any fares where the client had been drinking or carried alcohol.Never mind that their gas tank holds at least 10% alcohol. AND the muslim cabby put it there himself!

What a
pitiful dangerous religion, a religion that is so weak it cannot withstand cartoons, images made in their likeness, or criticism.
Fixed your post. Hope you don't mind
The fact they are easily insulted by cursory icons like images/cartoons rather than serious theologically differences gives a a window into their mindset.
This type of mindset is very dangerous indeed as it beguiles a core beliefs based on religious emotions instead of religious principles which makes them very easily manipulated.
The five pillars of faith also shows their cult of death is based on works rather than religious principles.
* The Testimony of Faith (Shahadah)
* Ritual Prayer (Salat)
* Obligatory (religious) almsgiving (Zakat)
* Sawm, Fasting
* The Pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj)
As compared to the Christian faith which basically you need to believe in these principles:
believe the Work of God is from God
Believe that Jesus Christ was virgin born
Believe Jesus died for your sins
Believe Jesus rose from the dead as proof as who he is.

Microsoft went after Apple for the same basic reason -- they thought they could patent a box.

More grist for the perpetual rage machine known as Islam. I'm sure they'd find something to rage about in almost anything.

Well, it resembles the Muslims' sacred Ka'ba, Fine.Let's nuke the Ka'ba mid-Haj. Apple's store will nolonger resemble it. Problem solved ;)

Wonder how many Muslim kids own iPods. How many will give them up if the Imam issues a Fatwa?

Islam could use a few more insults. Agreed: let's give it to them.

Do not mind at all. But it is more accurate to describe this religion as pitiful AND dangerous as your complete post shows.

You know, I was thinking about starting construction on a a new chicken coop this weekend.
Now I gotta sit down and redesign it.
It's going to be a cube painted to look like the cube over the sacred chunk of gravel or whatever it is.

"So does it offend muslims any time they see a box?"
Maybe that's the reason behind burkas...
