Thread: Muslims demand Nike pull Air Max over 'offensive' logo

Thousands of people are demanding sports apparel giant Nike recall its Air Max 270 shoe, saying that the "blasphemous" logo is offensive to Muslims.

A Change.org petition, which garnered more than 14,000 signatures by mid-day Wednesday, claims that the logo resembles "Allah," the Arabic word for God, written in Arabic script.

Petitioner Saiqa Noreen says the logo "will surely be trampled, kicked and become soiled with mud or even filth."

"It is outrageous and appalling of Nike to allow the name of God on a shoe," Noreen wrote. "This is disrespectful and extremely offensive to Muslim's and insulting to Islam..."

Whatever.

Some of the comments on Ben Shapiro's post are funny, I especially like this one:


Hey Nike why don't you take a knee and think about it

I want a pair with a bacon logo.

They sure demand and want a lot in America since they popped in don't they.....................

...and here’s where they went wrong before. Nike folded to the Muslims demands the first time. The Muslim group likely believes they can get even more money out of them this time.

“Nike has been in hot water in the past over its branding.

In 1997, the company came under scrutiny for using a flame-shaped logo that also resembled the word for Allah. In that case, Nike pulled 38,000 pairs of sneakers worldwide and donated $50,000 to an Islamic elementary school in the United States.”

They, the Muslims have pushed other things such as school lunches at some public schools have to not have any type of pork served, let alone restaurants they have gone after...in Dearborn police keep non-Muslims out of certain areas etc.............
