Burger king surrenders to a single muslim

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.

Personally I don't see how it looks like the inscription of allah but I am not mentally ill so I wouldn't see it. Why would BK stop selling their product just because of a single muslim complaining? Would they do the same if a single christian was complaining? I doubt it.

The question is why was the muslim in BK in the first place? They don't serve halal meet do they? if not his religion would have forbidden him to be there. If they do serve halal meet I won't ever be eating at BK. Infact I think I will boycott them for the fact that they gave in to a single muslim.

Yes, its nuts! He must have escaped from psychiatric mental ward, where the owners of Burger King should go for some treatment! More examples of the PC fascism that is running out of control here in the UK.
