Article: Red Bull ad offensive

HapticSimian said:
Just heard on Eyewitness News (Highveld) that the ad's been pulled... whilst sipping a Red Bull. Guess their stunt worked; I haven't had one in years. :whistle:

Another win for Team Middle Ages!

If and when - and it is rarely, mind you - I feel the need for copious amounts of sugar and caffeine I'm normally quite partial to Play. But I'll be buying the odd Red Bull for a while in stead purely out of principle. Any company who pisses off self-righteous religious nut-bags deserves support. :D

Just to add if you were to willing eat meat in front a Hindu knowing full well that this would offend him, this would be Makruh so while not wrong, it would better to avoid it,


Yes the advert is disliked from both the christian and Muslim point of view and it would be better to avoid such actions when possible. Which I think is the problem we have with the OP, while we could encouraged our fellow Muslims and Christians not to act in a way that would offend someone, how do we encouraged non-Muslims and non-Christians to do the same. I suppose the best could do is voice the opinion that we dislike such actions and have faith/hope the offending person would stop and reconsider his/her actions,

In truth when the tables are turned and the Muslim is the one offending the non-Muslim, we as Muslims could only but encourage that Muslim that is his his/her actions are Makruh i.e. disliked and encourage him to reconsider.

If 10 Christians complained about the ad, atleast 100 non Christians complained about the complaints.
I therefore deduce non Christians are less happier or more stuckup people. Interesting...

Also... "more less happier"? I'm slightly not confused at all.

You obviously don't see it, so let me explain. If 10 Christians were offended by this debacle, then atleast 100 non Christians were also offended.

Yeah, that's not the part I had an issue with, even though it's a complete fabrication. It was the bit that followed, about 'non Christians being more less happy and stuck up'.

If the first part of your statement is your attempt at a deduction, then I deduct that you don't quite know what 'deduce' actually means.

Oh, I'm sure "the people" are working on that one.

Apache's blood is probably boiling with fury at all these filthy heathens being allowed to walk around with heads attached, and not being burned alive.
