Muslims Bully Nike

Nike renounced American customers who do not despise their own country by choosing Colin Kaepernick — a washed-up former football player remembered only for his disrespectful antics when the national anthem was performed — as the face of the corporation. Countermoonbats were enraged; many discarded or even burned their Nike products and vowed never to buy more. However, the liberal corporate establishment breezily dismisses the fury of deplorables. We’ll see if they also ignore the fury of far less numerous but more politically correct Islamic supremacists, now that Muslims have proclaimed that the logo on the bottom of the Air Max 270 is offensive so the $150 sneakers must be recalled:

A Change.org petition, which garnered more than 14,000 signatures by mid-day Wednesday, claims that the logo resembles “Allah,” the Arabic word for God, written in Arabic script.

This is serious stuff among Muslims, who regard the bottoms of shoes as particularly unclean. Even letting someone see your shoe sole is regarded as an insult. They have murdered many people for far less that having something they think looks like Allah on the bottom of a shoe.

Petitioner Saiqa Noreen screeches menacingly that the sneakers are “outrageous,” “appalling,” “disrespectful,” and even “extremely offensive.” She demands that all products with this logo be recalled “from worldwide sales immediately.”

Nike bleats that the logo says Air Max, not Allah, and that “Any other perceived meaning or representation is unintentional.”

So what? Intent is irrelevant. Did the restaurant in Phoenix with a picture of coalminers on the wall intend to be racist? Not even moonbats are crazy enough to think so. Yet they still demand the picture be removed.

When Muslims pretended that the ice cream swirl on some Burger King packaging looked like the word “Allah,” the junk food magnate obsequiously bowed to their demands. So did McDonald’s, when they pretended that squiggles on the bottom of a toy resembled the word “Muhammad.”

There is already precedent for Nike caving to Muslim crybullies:

In 1997, the company came under scrutiny for using a flame-shaped logo that also resembled the word for Allah. In that case, Nike pulled 38,000 pairs of sneakers worldwide and donated $50,000 to an Islamic elementary school in the United States.

Turning over lunch money with such alacrity will not dissuade Muslims from continuing to see the word “Allah” everywhere they look.

If you move when they push you, they will push you more. A pretext to push is the point of being “offended.”
