I am so tired of upset muslims.

Lighten up ffs.

Lighten up ffs.

And I am sure that there are many Muslims who are just as tired as you are with regards to things like this.

I'm even more tired of the multitude of spineless ****wits who will withdraw and/or recant at the drop of a hat to appease said supposedly upset Muslims.

I'm sure there are.

But the vocal minority here seems enough to withdraw a product.

 

[Azbubu]

Ice-cream probably made from horse milk.

To be fair Woolworths also bent to religious outcry over withdrawing some clappy mag from their shelves.

 

[blunomore]

They're always bitching and moaning about something or the other. Can they never just laugh something off ?

 

[lived666]

sigh, no licking allahs cream then

 

[porchrat]

ROFL oh this is priceless!!

Laughing implies fun and fun seems to be frowned on.

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

I think the word Allah looks like an ice cream cone.

 

[daveza]

What they should do is auction it on E-bay like virgin Mary on a toasted cheese sandwich.

Sure, but quite often little comes from the protestations of a bunch of slighted Christians. But let some clown complain that Mo' or Allah's been wronged and the world can't jump high or fast enough in order to ease their bruised egos. Grates my carrot.

I am sure the muslims in U.K are pissing themselves laughing at Burger King. And the funniest thing is that they got BK to do this even though the food is not halaal, so technically muslims are not there customers in most BK across U.K Hahhaaaaaaaaa

 

[Azbubu]

Well done to BK though.

 

[Picard]

If nobody knows how Allah looks, then how do Muslims know that the ice-cream is a depiction of Allah.

 

[porchrat]

Well done to BK though.

For caving to a seriously questionable objection from people that aren't their customers anyway?

Not how Allah looks, how the word looks.

They wouldn't really want any negative publicity. This is old btw.
