Nike Faces Demand to Recall Sneakers as Muslims Object to Design

[Zukat]

No. You don't see the similarity of the arab writing to whats on the shoe?

Your avatar picture upsets me, Allah starts with an "A" and you might write some offensive comments, dirt or even filth which will indirectly be associated with his Greatness. Please recall yourself.

Don't be like the muppets in 7de laan who butt**** the Afrikaans language.

Konfyt klink vir my te hoogs afrikaans. But you are right, I shouldn't be mixing my languages.

Nike should just release a statement that says:

"It says AIMAX you're holding it upside down. We would also like to warn customers that if you type 58008 into a calculator, turn it upside down and use alot of imagination it kinda looks like the word BOOBS. Have fun out there."

Just troll them back! They're out of control.

The name Allah predates Islam and has roots going back thousands of years BC. It is of similar derivation to the Hebrew El. It is actually not a name, but a descriptive title meaning "the god".

That's debatable

What... a... joke.

OK, I'll be that guy. I am by no means a fan of religion in general. But I respect people's right to be religious.
I can see why they are upset.

Then you are blind my friend. Muslims will go on about intention - and its obvious Nike didn't intend to offend.

It's just one person looking for shiit and if muslims sign this crap then they're a bunch of retarded snowflakes.

 

[LazyLion]

That's debatable

Yep, as debatable as Dinosaurs are to young earth Creationists

 

[Ninja'd]

Nevermind the fact Nike is also a god.

This I agree with. In my humble opinion they are far too easily offended. That is why I said, I can see how they would take offense to this. Didn't say I agree with them at all.
