The people of Saudi Arabia are furious with the McDonald’s fast food chain for a toy which they say desecrates the name of Muhammed, the prophet of Islam. They are demanding retribution.

According to the Arabic news website, Kermalkom.com,

“[the McDonald's fast food restaurant] abused the Prophet Muhammad by placing his name at the base of a toy that is being distributed as part of the Happy Meal, a toy which steps on the name ‘Muhammad.’”

The toy is a blue super hero on a blue base. The toy looks like a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger samurai warrior. The toy stand on one of its legs and the other leg hangs over the side of the base. When a lever is pressed the toy’s other leg smahes against the base of the toy in a stomping motion.

The Saudis are claiming that the base of the toy, where it stomps its foot, is covered with the name Muhammed. They claim the name is written several times in circles all over the base so every time it stomps it is stomping on Muhammed.

Those people are just plain weird...rather like the good people of Salem, Massachusetts who saw witches around every corner.

when your language is nothing but squiggly lines.. what do you expect?

[Sooth2222]

These people are insane.

I’ll have to see a picture of the toy in question before I believe this. It seems like an utter farce.

I went to the linked site and there's some kind of useless graphic there. Is it really that hard to take a picture of a toy?

Incredible! As ‘Muhammed’ is the most popular boys name in the world, how can the Mussies know which Muhammed the toy is referring to (if anyone at all)?

If some high profile Jewish folks start naming their kids Mohhamad, it would drive the radical Muslims nuts!

Thanks massmike.

Can anyone find a picture? I’ve looked online but had no luck

Would you want to scar your kid for life with a name like that? It's practically child abuse.

And there was the blasphemous BK ice cream treat...

[hoagy62]

Okay...looked at the picture in question.

Where in the name of Sam Hill do they get ‘Mohammed’ out of those squiggly lines?????

These people are full-goose bozo!

Boy, I learn something new every day.

I would have thought it impossible to insult a satanic child molester. Who knew 6th century prehistoric sand monkeys could be so easily offended.

And we though it was funny taking pictures of the Amish was verboten.

Saudis Demand McDonald’s Be Punished For Happy Meal Toy That Insults Muhammed

I demand that Saudis be punished for assaulting America.

[Straight Vermonter]

Toy on left & script for Muhammed on the right.

[Lazamataz]

Religion aside, this was just a plainly-dumb business move and shows a lack of control on the part of upper management.

Leni, don't be so uick to believe it. It is likely that the little squiggly designs on the tody HAPPEN to look A LITTLE like the little squiggly designs that, in their weird language, spells MoHamHead.

But, this is raw paranoia and an insane view on their part. The insane paranoia is nothing new: Witness the Laser Controlled Penis Melting Zionist Robot Comb.

(sorry it's a print page, that's all I could find... but it's worth a read for the giggles....)

[ConservaTexan]

Those who look to be offended will be successful 100% of the time.

[sniper63]

محمد Frankly I don't see the resemblance. Besides I don't think McDonalds prepares their food Halal style, why are they eating there in the first place.

[Zeppo]

Those squiggles look amazingly similar to the pattern formed by a pile of dog excrement that I spotted by the side of a road this morning.

Who even knew that the dog was writing ‘Muhammad’...

[Lady Lucky]

Where in the name of Sam Hill do they get ‘Mohammed’ out of those squiggly lines?????

It may look like squiggles to most Americans, but that's a legible "Muhammad" to anyone familiar with Arabic scripts.

The funny thing is that the same people who criticize Christians as being intolerant and thin skinned for having the temerity to object to crucifixes in urine and condoms on crosses will join the muzzies in condemnimg McDonald’s for this ‘outrage’.
