As TheBlaze reported back in January, Austrian Muslims became outraged when they saw that Lego, a popular children’s toy company, created something they viewed as anti-Islamic in nature. Following months of intense angst and debate, Lego has reportedly agreed to stop making one of its Star Wars toy sets in an effort to temper the storm.
...He also smokes a water pipe and keeps Princess Leia in chains for use as his personal slave.
Furious Muslim critics complained that the Lego set’s Asian and oriental figures were “deceitful and criminal” characters such as gun-runners, slave masters and terrorists.

Another example of the TRUTH being suppressed because they want everyone else from saying, "You know what? - That is Islam!"

It would have been more honest to have characters wearing suicide vests, bodies of be-headed people laying around, and a muslim woman being beaten for showing her ankles.

Per Lego, this set was already scheduled to end production at the end of 2013. It was already scheduled to end before all this Muslim protesting stuff came up.
Their products usually have a 1-3 year lifespan.

I would have thought they would be fighting off a copyright infringement lawsuit from this obvious resemblance.

Interesting.
What is the next thing we can expect from the delusional sandmaggots?
Suspension of all news reporting worldwide?
That description pretty much sums up muslim behavior worldwide. We need a few documentaries establishing this unequivocally for future generations.

I hate the first few days of April. You can never tell what’s an April Fools joke and what is simply ridiculous.

I’m still waiting for someone to notice that every black character on the show “Once Upon A Time” has been evil.
To: BCW
This kind of appeasement will only lead to more beheadings in the future.

I’m still waiting for someone to notice that every black character on the show “Once Upon A Time” has been evil.That's OK.
In popular drama series and movies, the president, main scientist or general, doctors, astronomers and astrophysicists are black.
It all balances out.
