I scream, you scream...


I hate to sound anti-Muslim, but it's hard to take some of them seriously when they threaten to wage a holy war against a fast food chain for selling ice cream.

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 [dollars] redesigning the lid with backing from The Muslim Council of Britain. It apologised and said: "The design simply represents a spinning ice-cream cone." [...]

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."

Kudos to BK for caving in to a single Muslim. Unfortunately, they now risk offending those who worship the Holy Book of Ice Cream, who are undoubtedly armed with sprinkles, gummis, and jujus.

By the way, the award for best headline goes to Right Thinking for Allahu Snakbar.
