Political correctness = fear

Kinda funny though.

So Glad

What idiot could possibly be offended by an ice-cream cone? This world is dumb.

AARRRGH

I hate political correctness in general. It's for small minded people.

Heyes

This country as a whole is becoming to Politically correct, its like the media and individuals seem to be finding an excuse to cause a discussion and agro over the simplist of things, that never would have been an issue before hand.

Christ on a bike. What's next? Microsoft having to rename themselves because if you switch the letters around, you get the name of some religious lad?

Tim Fosroc. Sure didn't he write some of the bible? Matthew, Mark, Luke and Tim.
That sounds about right.

ROFFLE, this's the best comment on that link:

Shouldn’t the muslims instead withdraw the word allah because it looks a bit too much like a representation of a mr whippy?
They could call him dave instead.

senordingdong

According to The Sun:rolleyes: *, fast-food chain Burger King are withdrawing their ice-cream cones because the swirl on the lid looks a bit like the word “Allah”.

*When will people learn - that has to be the worst rag under the sun (intended:o )

We're reverting to the Victorian ages.

You wouldn't be saying nasty things about nice Mr. Murdoch's kwality periodical, would you?

Good man Rupert, he got the Sun and the Sky-and all Maxwell got was the sea, face first from the deck of his yacht:eek:

Whats the odds on some guys in syria burning ol' ronnie mac donald in the street, confusing him with his arch rival, burger king?

Cake Fiend

I find moronity offensive. Can we have whoever is responsible beheaded please?

metrovelvet

These things happen when there's a world war on. We are on WW3 in case any of you havent noticed. This is just the beginning. Pretty soon it will be offensive NOT to wear a hijab.

I will put a jihad upon all of you!!!!

No, if we were reverting to those days all the 'darkies' would be working as house servants instead of complaining about a chocolate mcflurry looking like allahs bowel movement

Political correctness is what has this, and many, countries in a total f*ck.

Does look awful like it though Doesn't a swirl usually go in a circle?

i cant tolerate this political corectness crap. If I went to their country I have to obey by their ridiculous outdated rules (ie god forbid a womans body or face to be seen at all!) therefore if they expect this, than they should respect our rules, customs etc. Why shoul dwe have to change things to suit them or out of fear of offending them - they need to get over it!! same iwth this crap over the muslim cartoon - am I allowed to go pyscho at a paddy irishman joke??! to be honest teh practice of making women cover thier faces deeply offends me yet they dont seem to care!!

In the example of the BK ice-cream, the person that complained was more than likely an american citizen. Most of these types of people that are offended by this kind of thing are normally citizen's of the respective countries. We're living in a society where cultures are mixing at an alarming rate. We need to be more careful about this type of thing. Just because these people are inhabitants of our country doesn't mean they should completely ignore their own religions teachings, but they need to accept the fact that we will always consider our Free speech as highly as they regard their Religion/Allah. We will never change nor will they.

In all fairness there's no way the designer would have known what Allah's sign/symbol looked like, I certainly wouldn't have. Probably should of been spotted before it made its way into BK restaurants.

And yes if we went to Saudi Arabia and complained in such a manner. God know's what would happen to us, we'd probably be arrested or worse. These countries disregard free speech and don't condone it. We seem to condone their complaints, abuse because they are allowed to voice their opinions under our free speech society as much as the rest of us are entitled to do so.

Surely if we were in WW3, then we wouldn't be apologising to everything that vaguely offends them, and we wouldn't be laughing off the threats of "streets running red with the blood of non-muslims" or whatever the hell was said.
