Gimme a break here...

I had heard about this story through another source and was curious enough to track the two images down. Found them (and the story) at Dhimmi Watch: UK: 'Allah' ice-creams banned

Dhimmitude On Ice, from the UK's Sun tabloid, with thanks to Granny Weatherwax and Giaour:
Cone-demned ... 'spinning whirl' ice creams look similar to the world Allah written in Arabic script

ICE creams are being withdrawn from Burger King — because a design on the lid looks like the word Allah.

The fast food chain has had dozens of complaints about the coloured symbol - meant to be a spinning whirl - on its range of BK Cones.
And it is, of course, caving rather than focusing on sanity.
Get a grip on reality here... It's a dessert! No, its a deity! Posted by DaveH at September 18, 2005 8:53 PM
