Saudis Demand Punishment for McDonald’s Toy They Say “Insults Muhammed”

by Raymond Ibrahim

According to the Saudis, the designs that appear all around the base, where the figure stomps its foot, is really the name “Muhammed” written several times in circles.

Saudi Arabians are angry at a McDonald’s toy which they say mocks their prophet Muhammad. According to a report appearing today (5/27/12) on the Arabic news website, Kermalkom.com, the McDonald’s fast food restaurant “abused the Prophet Muhammad by placing his name at the base of a toy that is being distributed as part of the Happy Meal, a toy which steps on the name ‘Muhammad.'”

The toy consists of a blue superhero figurine (apparently a Power Ranger Samurai; click here for pictures). It stands on one leg, and, when the lever is pressed, it pounds on the base with the other leg. According to the Saudis, the designs that appear all around the base, where the figurine stomps its foot, is really the name “Muhammad” written several times in circles.

From original news site in Arabic:

Independent:

Saudi Arabia is the single biggest contributor to the funding of Islamic extremism and is unwilling to cut off the money supply, according to a leaked note from Hillary Clinton.

The US Secretary of State says in a secret memorandum that donors in the kingdom still “constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide” and that “it has been an ongoing challenge to persuade Saudi officials to treat terrorist financing emanating from Saudi Arabia as a strategic priority”.

In a separate diplomatic cable published by WikiLeaks last night, the militant group which carried out the Mumbai bombings in 2008, Lashkar-e-Toiba, is reported to have secured money in Saudi Arabia via one of its charity offshoots which raises money for schools.

It’s like the Islamic world is having a race back to the 7th century, except history shows that the 7th century was actually pretty enlightened till Islam threw it back to what its starting to look like now!

Saudi Arabia, a place where one can still visit the seventh century, and not be in a museum.  

The subject of necrophilia in Islam has risen to the forefront once again, just lately it was being reported that Egypt was planning a ‘farewell intercourse with dead wife’ law, but has since then been labeled as nonsense. However, there still remains a (respected) Moroccan “Islamic scholar” (an oxymoron) who issued a fatwa allowing for a husband to have intercourse with the remains of his dead wife. One stipulation is that the corpse must be ‘fresh’.

Saudis behead and crucify Sudanese national for raping corpse

CAIRO: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia beheaded and then crucified a Sudanese national after he was convicted of murdering a Saudi woman and then having sex with her corpse.

The man had confessed to murdering the Saudi housewife by strangling her in her sleep.

He then had sex with her corpse, stole her money and jewelry and fled after opening the gas cylinder in an attempt to kill the other family members.

The court sentenced him to death and crucifixion.

He appealed, according to a report in the Saudi Arabian Arabic language daily, Ajel.

The appellate court gave him the same sentence, which was upheld by the supreme court and then ultimately endorsed by King Abdullah.

The defendant, identified as Abdul Rahman Zain Al Abidin, was given a public execution and crucifixion in the kingdom’s capital Riyadh.

The preferred method of execution in Saudi Arabia is beheading by sword.
