A Lego-style Islamic terrorist figurine has sparked outrage among Muslims and others.
The Islamic terrorist figurine called 'Mr. White' that has sparked controversy
The controversial toy mini-figure, made by American Will Chapman as part of his BrickArms line, is a masked militant with an assault rifle, grenade launcher and belt of explosives. The character is called "Bandit — Mr. White" and sells for $14.
Shocked by the plaything, British Muslim organization the Ramadhan Foundation has branded the figurine "absolutely disgusting."
Chief executive Mohammed Shafiq said the toy is "glorifying terrorism."
"I don't think there's any difference between someone that shouts hatred through a megaphone and someone that creates a doll that glorifies terrorists," he said. "As a parent myself, I'm going to teach my children respect for the law and respect for each and every community.
"These are the lessons parents should be giving to their children — not lessons about weapons and violence."

That’s so funny! LOL!
He’s yellow. Could be Chinese.......................
They are angry because we are insulting their beloved ‘holy’ murderers.
That would look good on the cubicle wall, with a noose, but someone might be “offended”............
I would like to make them “holey”............
Yeah, they need a Mr. Pink and a Mr Brown and a Mr. Blue..think of it as Reservoir Dogs with a jihadist slant..
He’s just ticked because he knows GI Joe could kick Mr. White’s butt.
...or Hussein..........
I don’t pick on the Amish out of any mean-spiritedness...
It’s just that I doubt that I’ll ever offend one of them on an
INTERNET WEBSITE.
But I guess I'd have to keep it at home so to not offend anyone.
Think of it as “GI Jihadi”...................
I used to have a sign that said “I SLAM ISLAM!” but they made me take it down..............
Mr. Blonde would be a better nom de plume!Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right,
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you.
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you,
And I'm wondering what it is I should do,
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face,
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place,
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
Well you started out with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self made man,
And your friends, they all come crawlin,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please.... Please.....
Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see that it makes no sense at all,
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor,
‘Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

Amish are cool. I wonder if a Amish person and a Hasidic Jew have ever met?......
I love it when we find out about these type of entrepreneurs.
Actually Lego should have purchased the rights to name it “Achmed the Dead Terrorist” Toy
Mr. Orange would lose more than just an ear.
