Giving in to another example of ‘Islamomania’ syndrome suffered by Muslims, Swedish retail giant H&M has recalled a line of children’s socks after coming under fire for allegedly having a pattern resembling the word “Allah” written upside down in Arabic letters on the socks.
Daily Sabah (h/t Susan K) In a press statement, the company said that the pattern was completely a coincidence and unintentional.
“The print on the sock depicting a Lego figure, which looks like “Allah” in Arabic is entirely a coincidence, but because our customers have complained, we have chosen to recall the items,” Petra Buchinger, the Press Officer at H&M said, according to reports by Swedish state radio SVT.
Social media users had criticized the company for the alleged “Allah” writing in children’s socks, which means god in English.
H&M had also come under fire for a children’s hoodie with a sign reading “Coolest monkey in the jungle,” for being racist, as the boy modeling the t-shirt was a black child.
The company appointed a diversity leader following the incident, to address the shortcomings in terms of acknowledging cultural differences sensitivities of the consumers.
It’s no surprise that H&M caved to the demands of Muslims so quickly, despite the huge financial loss it incurred. They have been using Muslim models wearing Islamic supremacist headbags in their ads for several years now.
This is not the first time Muslims have been offended by a company’s advertising campaign. The fast-food chain, Burger King in the UK, had to withdraw its swirly ice-cream cones after the lid design offended Muslims because they thought it resembled the Arabic word for ‘Allah.’
Scotsman A Muslim claimed the design resembled the Arabic inscription for Allah, and branded it sacrilegious, threatening a “jihad.”
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.”
The chain was forced to spend thousands of pounds redesigning the lid so it could gain approval from The Muslim Council of Britain. It apologised and said: “The design simply represents a spinning ice-cream cone.”
AND CAN WE EVER FORGET THIS? “Just dump it!” Nike recalls shoe considered offensive to Muslims.
Sporting goods giant NIKE is not often brought to amend its product decisions. But a campaign by American Muslims activists acting out of CAIR have gotten Nike to remove a shoe they deemed offensive to Muslims.
The shoe in question, which has been sold under the names Air Bakin’, Air Melt, Air Grill and Air B-Que, contains a fire logo (emblem) that resembles the Arabic script for God (Allah). Resembles. but not is. Although CAIR recognizes that the shoe does not actually say Allah, close enough was enough for them to mount a protest.
CAIR executive director Nihad Awad stated why the shoes offend Muslim sensibility “Many . . . may not understand how offensive it is to have the name of God on a shoe,” said Nihad Awad, the Islamic council’s executive director. “The shoe gets dirty. It gets muddy. It gets sweaty. We believe this is disrespectful to the name of God.”
Designated terrorist group CAIR says Coca Cola’s use of Arabs and camels in its Superbowl commerical is offensive to Muslims.

These retailers need to learn to say: “Hmmm. Looks like Allah? WE DON’T GIVE A SHIT!”

Disblamer : No horses nor camels …. were injured in the making of this commercial …. the show girls were probably …. feted and vetted a little …. behind the dunes …. if you get my drift ?

Islams mission is to make OUR world smaller, and smaller, and smaller – until we are pushed out of it, and in to Islam. They are nibbling away at our culture, and replacing it with theirs.
kimliao says
I bet if some kid badly writes the word AWL somewhere, they’ll find a reason to be offended. There are so many problems in the world and all they can think about is finding ways to get offended by anything non Muslims do. If all the Muslims magically disappears, the world won’t even mind.
Emma de la Cruz says
Next they’ll demand that the cursive”w” and “m” be removed from the English Language. If we put this in another context; should Christians demand that the lower case “t” be gone also? After all, the Cross symbolizes Christ. The people that kowtow to their whining are worse than they are! They’re spending how much for design and development only to scrap it? Feeding their demands and paranoia! Fuggin idiots!! On the other hand, kudos to Apple!
Nikki says
True enough. Useful idiots are to muslims as the parents of spoiled brats who can’t control their child. Muslims know they’re spoiled brats too. Hence why every muslim country has an authoritarian government. Muzzies only understand and respect force.
Sharon Hutchinson says
Can’t anyone just say “no” and “bug off”? These companies will not go bankrupt if they lose their muzzslime customers. I think the Apple building is pretty cool. No one owns the shape of a cube. Especially one that contains a meteorite.
Fred Scuttle says
Re. the Ka’ba – I guess that’s the end for Rubik’s Cubes. And cube-shaped cardboard boxes, buildings, holes, blocks…
The Pyramids will have to go – made of cubic blocks…
All the games ever made that use dice…
Also, don’t write with rounded w’s anymore!
Pray Hard says
What, they think this is going to save them?

There they go again!
Richard S. says
Muslim scums always complain about everything!
John McMenamin says
What a load of SHIT, islam does not own the alphabet .
Peter35 says
Well they ‘own’ the Arabic alphabet, but wait–now I’m confused; you see in one of his speeches obama actually said moslems “gave us the alphabet!” Which is absolutely stupid, but everyone in attendance let him get away with it!!
That, and all the other wonderful inventions he claimed moslems gave to an ungrateful world!
And btw, the logo on the socks looks NOTHING like allah (piss be upon him) in arabic.
Christine t says
Bung it on the sole of socks or better yet on toilet paper where it belongs
BLR says
and just who is doing all the assimilating here ? the left in america like to brag how easy muslims fit in with our ways corporate america has made them consultants to pave the way for the main herd is what I think is going on here
Lydia says
Hey, I just realized: the allah symbol looks more like a limp noodle and meatballs if you know what I mean. Does anyone else see it too, or is it just my gutter mind? ?
Lydia says
I think a more accurate term would be “islamophelia” as opposed to “islamomania” ?
Brian says
Allahs name looks like a ball sac,or an arse.Even a nice pair of breasts.Do we have to remove all these from our bodies too.

“The shoe gets dirty. It gets muddy. It gets sweaty. We believe this is disrespectful to the name of God.“
They should show a big Nike shoe standing on the head of Satan, with the caption,
Putting All lala Where He Belongs, But we already know Nike is kissy kissy with muzslime so they are OF COURSE going to comply with the vile muzslime demands. Screw muzslime ALL muzslime throw them onto pig barges and haul the filth out of our good Nations, and send Nike with them
Don Spilman says
I imagine it makes the ignorant swedes feel good to have the nasty vile muzslime bring some stupid DEMAND so that they can immediately comply. They are all evidently muzslime butt kissers. I truly believe EVERY stupid freak swed female in any governmental authority should have FGM done, with a rusty razor and no anesthetic. Held down by leering dirty old muzslime male creatures.
Cleavis Nowell says
Damn H&M, Burglar King and Nike to everlasting nothingness or bankruptcy court. As for the soul less cowards at WalMart : they have at least 15 stores in DFW – they have two without islamist/zombie employees- shop at the two without islamists.
cat says
