Nike Faces Demand to Recall Sneakers as Muslims Object to Design

[Surv0]

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.

Its just another way they like to exert control...

The writing on the shoe isn't Arabic writing though. This is like starting a petition to ban the use of the word snigger because it contains the letters 'n i g g e r'.

sniggers in "arabic"

Looks like someone was looking to be offended at something. It's unlikely that anyone will boycott Nike because of this. Unless they follow this up with an ad

Seems religious folk really are a sensitive bunch, some religions more than others, personally I think scientology being at the top of that list I will keep my opinion about the rest to myself, just in case I offend someone lol.

Not sensitive folks really. General idea in any such outrages is to strike such a terror that everyone is afraid of their lives. If your house is burnt or if your family is threatend with murderous consequences, your morals will generally keep quiet. Some religions do that more successfully than others. EFF & BLF seem to emulate that model as well.

Just realised; Nike has found the answer to world peace. In the past year they have upset both white America and Muslims.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend?

Religious communities take this very seriously. Amazon cowed before another group and said "
The group offered "Sikh awareness training" in "an effort to educate Amazon's staff and prevent anti-Sikh products from being sold on the site in the future".

The question is, is the name Allah trade marked?

someone needs to learn the definition of resemble.

Yep, as debatable as Dinosaurs are to young earth Creationists

Sure, aside from the fact that there is actual physical evidence of dinosaurs...
