God who did they poll to that would approve that "Burger King" mask ...let alone find anyone to run around in it???
(I rate it right up there with the annoying Vonage commercials that shade of orange and that OBNOXIOUS AND HIGHLY ANNOYING "jingle" or whatever it is called. I would not use them for that alone!)
Back to the topic...
I had my doubts if it was a hoax or not. It has been reported in at least one paper and one tabloid there. Though their tabloids are "wee bit" different from what we call tabloids here....
If it is a hoax, it would seem that ALOT of people in Britain have fallen for it, including Burger King....
This seems to be the original link AOHELL used and news.scotsman.com does seem to be a respectable/legitmate paper:
http://news.scotsman.com/uk.cfm?id=1951292005
This one quotes, "The Sun", granted it is a tabloid... but it has pictures of the offensive ice cream and the Muslim symbol.
( It also has Page 3 girls
http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-20 ... 6,,00.html is their article )
This is the blogsite:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/a ... 008141.php
The blogger above seems pretty reliable and well resourced.
There are several other things the Muslims have found offensive...
Maybe these are all hoaxes too?
The Nike Symbol:
http://www.factology.com/archive/20041211.htm
Coca Cola
http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/a ... 006963.php
The infamous crescent moon on an outhouse door.

You decide.

This is the story in the
"Eastern Eye"
Here is another blog about it:
http://www.pickledpolitics.com/archives/35
There are numerous others...
Seems there are quite a few people at least in the UK, bothered over it and falling for it IF is a hoax...
Anyone care to contact BK to ask them about it?
*************************************************************
Burger King is to withdraw thousands of ice-cream cones because the design on the packaging (pictured) resembles the Arab word for Allah.
The company has acted after the coincidence was spotted by a Muslim customer, Rashad Akhtar, at its Park Royal outlet last week (6), who later telephoned its head office to say that the packaging was sacrilegious.
The Muslim Council of Britain has backed the change.
A statement by Burger King (BK) to Eastern Eye said: “The design on the lids of our cones represents a spinning ice-cream cone.
“However, as a result of the feedback we have received, our supplier is amending the lid design.”
The US fast-food giant said it would withdraw the packaging in ‘the near future’ once an alternative has been designed.
But the action has failed to satisfy Akhtar, who wants the designer sacked and is calling on Muslims to boycott the fast-food company.
Akhtar, 27, of High Wycombe, who is married and a business development manager, said: “Them [BK] recalling this product is not sufficient. It should be taken away from the stores now.
“I have had no correspondence from Burger King.
“These people who have designed this think they can get away with this again and again. This is my jihad.
“How can you say it is a spinning swirl? If you spin it one way – to the right, you are offending Muslims.
“I ordered my food and then got talking to a worker, a French guy.
“He asked me: ‘Are you Muslim?’
“He showed me the cone.
“I felt humiliated.”
The design change is likely to cost Burger King a lot of money. Even the small restaurants, such as in Whitechapel Road, order about 80 ice cream packages a week.
MCB spokesman Inayat Bunglawala said: “It is true that seen from a certain angle, the design on the BK ice cream lid could be read as closely resembling the word Allah in Arabic.
“We commend the sensitive and prompt action BK have taken to prevent any hurt being caused to the religious sensibilities of others by this.”
It is not the first time Burger King has upset Muslims. In 1999, several Islamic organisations called for a worldwide boycott after the chain opened an eatery in the Israeli West Bank settlement of Ma’ale Adumim, considered by Palestinians to be illegally occupied territory.
