Dessert Eating Muslims Having It Their Way

Little Green Footballs reports on a situation in England where a local Muslim man is threatening jihad (holy war) against Burger King...because of the design of their ice cream cone lids:

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."

Nowadays is there anything that doesn't offend Muslims? Maybe from now on all of the ice cream cones should come with little hijabs (Islamic head scarves) on them.

By the way, here's a picture of the "sacrilegious dessert". Please avert your eyes if you might be offended:

Speaking of hijabs (what a smooth segue), check out this post which describes the ridiculous lengths certain Muslims will go to avoid "insult".
