Apple's "Mecca Project" Provokes Muslim Reaction

On October 10, 2006, an Islamic website posted a message alerting Muslims to what it claims is a new insult to Islam. According to the message, the cube-shaped building which is being constructed in New York City, on Fifth Avenue between 58th and 59th Streets in midtown Manhattan, is clearly meant to provoke Muslims. The fact that the building resembles the Ka'ba (see picture below), is called "Apple Mecca," is intended to be open 24 hours a day like the Ka'ba, and moreover, contains bars selling alcoholic beverages, constitutes a blatant insult to Islam. The message urges Muslims to spread this alert, in hope that "Muslims will be able to stop the project."

Thing is, the Religion Of The Perpetually Offended couldn't even manage to get the 'square' thing figured out. According to Wikipedia (i know...) the dimensions of Mo's (P*ss Be Upon Him) Ka'aba are: 15 m high (49') with sides measuring 10.5 m (34') by 12 m (39').

It was all a misunderstanding. What Apple's projects real title is the "Macacas Project". There. That should help them out.

Would it pacify CAIR if we ceremonially beheaded a Windows user?
