Posted September 19, 200519 yr Burger King recalls 'sacrilegious' desserts JOHN INNES 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."

September 19, 200519 yr Durka durka durka Muhammad jihad. 953951[/snapback] Durka muhammad ali! Anyway, isn't it funny that 40 years after Star Trek first aired, William Shatner can still manage to win an Emmy? I really didn't think he would get on TV in a major roll again.
September 20, 200519 yr "...If you spin it one way to the right you are offending Muslims." OK. And the problem is? :mischief
September 20, 200519 yr LOL...I also love that banner. The king has always freaked me out since they started with that promotion. 953637[/snapback] :lol He freaks me out too. I can't stand those commercials because that guy would make a great killer in a movie. On a serious note, I can't believe Burger King recalled the lid. I would have laughed at the man, given him the finger, and told him to jihad some delicious onion rings. On an even more serious note, that zesty onion ring sauce causes the most disgusting gas.

September 20, 200519 yr In today's world isn't threatening to "jihad" in itself a terrorist act? Burger King should have called the Secret Service and told them to up that puppy to code red and to nail his ass.

If you can't take the internet seriously, what can you take seriously?
