Ice cream is sacrilegious, say Islamics...

yeah it is


and i'm not religious as such...

 

"with a mind that's satisfied
that big ice cream cone floats on by
with a mind that's satisfied
lucky ones learn that love is blind
with a mind that's satisfied." - Devo



Ram Dass mentions a big ice cream cone in the sky, an eternal ice cream cone.


Perhaps a connection... allah, ice cream come.... why eat the ice cream cone when one has allah. It just floats by.

Praise be the consciousness that creates all matter, it has no name! It took quantum physics to prove it exists! Call it allah, call it joe!

 

did anyone notice the line "One customer told the Sun the design was “sacreligious""

seriously, one person. ONE, not all muslims.

that's all. just wanted that noted.

 

It wasn't one. There was a whole jihad and fatwa exclaimed against it.

 

well, that wasn't posted in the article.

 

I know that

 

ha ha. lol. that is soooo funny. lets get all bent out shape about it.....lets not actually look at the picture right side up and assume burger king is innocently putting the shape of an ICE CREAM CONE on the lid of some ICE CREAM. how fucking rediculous........

 

on the contrary - BK is resoundingly capitalist, and a percentage of its paying customers are Muslim - if that percentage stops paying BK money, then BK makes way less money. BK is making a smart choice by changing the symbol.


actually, almost all of BK's food is all ready against Islam... I'm willing to bet little to none of it is halal, that is to say, prepared to Islamic specifications

 

Exactly...

 

mmm, icecream

 

Then that begs the question "How did they find out about it, anyway?" Do they have food squads roaming the countryside in search of packaging and labling offensive to Islam? If BK isn't halal (and I'm with you on betting it isn't [hey! I'll go ya one better and bet it isn't even kosher!]), then why are they so jacked about it? Did one of the faithful backslide and go for a dip with a cone? If an orthodox Jew has a ham sandwich, the Mossad isn't called into action against the supplier of the ham sandwich, the mensch who ate the ham sandwich is guilty of (not really sure of what). If an Amish person goes against the elders and wears something not plain, they run the risk of being shunt (hope I spelled that right) but no action is taken against the seller of the offending garment. What is the deal with those of the Islamic faith (and I'm trying real hard not to generalize and pigeonhole)?

 

AMEN TO THAT!!!!!
PRACTICALLY ALL RELIGIONS ALSO SAY IF YOU AREN'T OF THEIR RELIGION, YOU ARE GOING TO HELL, SO BASICALLY WHO GIVES A SHIT WHAT WE DO........EVERYONE IS GOING TO HELL. SO EAT YOUR SACRELIGIOUS BURGER KING ICE CREAM, BEFORE THE FIERY PITS OF HELL MELT IT......

 

i like my ice cream just a little bit melted. then i stir it all together with the frozen stuff and it's perfect. like a shake, without adding milk.

 

OH AND WHERE DOES EYERYONE ELSE'S RELIGIOUS BELEIFS COME FROM? SANTA CLAUSE.....MAYBE THE EASTER BUNNY.....I'M PRETTY SURE THEY ARE ALL UNDER THE IMPRESSION THEY ARE FOLLOWING THE WORD OF GOD ALSO.

and MUSLIM laws are applicabe to MUSLIMS, i don't think you will be ruling over all humanity any time soon.......

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO OF OTHER CULTURES TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES WITHOUT SHOUTIN "THATS BLASPHEMY, THATS SACRELIGIOUS" WHEN WE ARE JUST LIVING OUR AMERICAN LIFESTYLE, DRAWING FUCKING ICE CREAM CONES. EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BELEIVE IN WHATEVER GOD THEY DEEM FITTING FOR THEIR LIFESTYLE WITHOUT ANY OTHER RELIGION BITCHING ABOUT IT. MUSLIM ISN'T FOR EVERYONE, NOR IS CHRISTIANITY, DEAL WITH IT. WE DON'T LIKE TO EAT THE SAME FOODS, DRESS THE SAME OR ACT ALL ALIKE, WHY WOULD FREEDOM OF CHOICE BE ANY DIFFERNET WITH RELIGION???

DAMN I GOT CARRIED AWAY, SORRY FOLKS.

 

unfortunately this is the danger of religion at it's worse. because some laws come down from a supreme being, they are sacrosanct. except that it is invariably some lunatic who interprets these so called inviolate laws and issues edicts that for some insane reason the more temperate majority end up following. religions that preach the one god leave no room for negotiation or dispute or freedom. crazy.. just crazy.
