Thousands Rage Over Nike Shoe With Allah-Like Logo, Claim It’s Offensive to Muslims
29th January 2019
Nike sparked outrage with the release of a new shoe bearing a logo that resembles Allah, which Muslims claim is a slight against Islam.
A Nike spokesman claimed that the logo on the Air Max 270 is merely a stylized version of the Air Max trademark. Saiqa Noreen, who launched an online petition demanding a recall of the shoe, contends that the logo is in fact the Arabic script for Allah and therefore an insult to Islam. The petition has garnered more than 10,000 signatures.
“It is outrageous and appalling of Nike to allow the name of God on a shoe. This is disrespectful and extremely offensive to Muslim’s and insulting to Islam,” Noreen wrote in the petition.
Just when you thought that the Grievance Machine had exhausted itself, it surprises you.
I doubt that anybody at Nike, except perhaps some affirmative-action hires who happen to be Muslim, would know how to write ‘Allah’s name’ if their life depended on it. These people are certifiably insane.
