Allah on Burger King ice cream lids

When divine objects plop out of chickens' assholes we do not see any Muslims running around butchering blasphemous chickens. But let Burger King's Ice Cream lids appear slightly similar in script to the Arabic 'Allah' and they have a cow. Last September Burger King in the UK had to recall its Ice Cream Cones because a design on the lid looked like the word Allah. One Muslim complained about the coloured symbol - meant to be a spinning whirl - on its range of BK Cones.

Shooting The Messenger, 17 Sep 2005, Burger King Says It's Sorry For Offending Allah

THE fast-food chain, Burger King, is withdrawing its ice-cream cones after the lid of the dessert offended a Muslim.

The man claimed the design resembled the Arabic inscription for Allah, and branded it sacrilegious, threatening a "jihad".

The chain is being forced to spend thousands of pounds redesigning the lid with backing from The Muslim Council of Britain. It apologised and said: "The design simply represents a spinning ice-cream cone."

The offending lid was spotted in a branch in Park Royal last week by business development manager Rashad Akhtar, 27, of High Wycombe.

He was not satisfied by the decision to withdraw the cones and has called on Muslims to boycott Burger King. He said: "This is my jihad. How can you say it is a spinning swirl? If you spin it one way to the right you are offending Muslims."

A Muslim Council spokesman said: "We commend the sensitive and prompt action that Burger King has taken."
