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."

I say it's the muslim people's fault for basing thier religious beliefs on an ice cream cone. Obviously Burger King was aroung a lot longer than the muslim faith. They were probably out derka derking around a Burger King one day and bought an ice cream cone, then decided "Hey Aghmed, derka derka mohamed jihad ice cream cone derka derka!" And from that day forth they started worshiping frozen desserts. Now they bring up this issue, in the hopes that they will each recieve a free cone, from thier neighbourhood Burger King, cause that's all they were after in the first place. I say Burger King should ban Muslim's from eating thier ice cream. Give it a week and the muslim population will be begging to get thier ice cream priveliges back.

P.S. For anyone who is stupid enough to think that I am really this racist and retarded, no its just been a long day and I really want some ice cream with hot caramel, nuts and a shit load of sprinkles, and maybe some chuncks of cookie dough and some strawberry sauce and some more sprinkles and some marashino cherries on top. mmmmm

Does this guy get mad at clouds, sand patterns and fallen leaf positions, too?

You can read _anything_ into _anything_.

That's just plain stupid.

He should be boycotting Burger King for the most obvious reasons: shitty food that's bad for people and bad for the environment.

(boycotting Burger King since 1981)

oh my... people need to be reminded some times to stop, take a deep breath, and get a grip.

People take their religion very serious, and there are obviously going to be great cultural differences. I think it's good they changed it.
