Outraged Muslims are demanding Nike recall ‘blasphemous’ Air Max sneaker

85

Outraged Muslims are demanding Nike recall an ‘offensive’ line of trainers because the logo looks like Allah’s name in Arabic.  Outraged Muslims – how redundant.

Another Muslim supremacist power play. It’s all about control. As if s if Nike would ever do something like this by design. But this is how the Muslim world asserts its authority over non-Muslims. It doesn’t matter that Nike has no clue what they are talking about or that this perceived ‘insult’ is imaginary. Nike became embroiled in a similar controversy in 1997. And Nike recalled thousands of pairs of Air Bakin’ sneakers with the word Air written on the heel. Now, again, outraged Muslims are demanding Nike recall a line of trainers because the design looks like Allah’s name in Arabic.

If Nike had half a ball they would tell these incessant whiners to bugger off.

Can one American company stand up for American freedoms?

A Nike spokesman said: “Nike respects all religions and we take concerns of this nature seriously.

“The Air Max logo was designed to be a stylised representation of Nike’s Air Max trademark. It is intended to reflect the Air Max brand only.

“Any other perceived meaning or representation is unintentional.”

Just DON’T do it!’ Thousands of Muslims demand Nike withdraw ‘insulting’ Air Max trainers ‘that have Allah written on the sole’

  • Air Max 270, released last year, branded ‘blasphemous’ by outraged Muslims
  • Saiqa Noreen: Nike is allowing God’s name to be trampled and soiled with filth
  • Ms Noreen launched petition today and it has already gained 6,000 signatures

By Connor Boyd For Mailonline, 28 January 2019

Outraged Muslims are demanding Nike recall an ‘offensive’ line of trainers because the logo looks like Allah’s name in Arabic.

Saiqa Noreen launched a petition to pull the Air Max 270 shoe and has accused the sportswear giant of ‘blasphemy’.

The petition, which has gained more than 6,000 signatures in just hours, blasts Nike for allowing God’s name to be ‘trampled, kicked and become soiled with mud or even filth’.

A petition to pull the Air Max 270 shoe (pictured) was launched, accusing Nike of ‘blasphemy’

The design features the words Air Max spelled out in a custom, joined-up font on the sole of the shoe, which was released last year.

In Muslim culture showing the sole of your shoe is seen as the height of disrespect as it implies you want to hurt someone with it.

The shoe is considered dirty because it touches the ground and is associated with the foot, the lowest party of the body.

‘It is outrageous and appalling of Nike to allow the name of God on a shoe. This is disrespectful and extremely offensive to Muslim’s and insulting to Islam,’ Ms Noreen said.

Ms Noreen said it was ‘outrageous and appalling’ to have God’s name written on the sole of the shoe where it can be ‘trampled, kicked and become soiled with mud or even filth’

‘Islam teaches compassion, kindness and fairness towards all. We urge Nike to recall this blasphemous and offensive shoe and all products with the design logo resembling the word Allah from worldwide sales immediately.

‘We also request stricter scrutiny of products before they enter the market. I urge all Muslim’s and everyone who respects the freedom of religion to sign this petition.’

Nike became embroiled in a similar controversy in 1997 when it was forced to recall thousands of pairs of Air Bakin’ sneakers following outcry from Muslim customers.

Flame like letters with the word ‘Air’ written on the heel could be read as Allah in Arabic script.

Ms Noreen added: ‘After recalling trainers in 1997, which had a similar logo depicting the word Allah, Nike claimed to have tighten scrutiny on logo design. So why has a similar design been approved?’

A Nike spokesman said: ‘Nike respects all religions and we take concerns of this nature seriously.

‘The Air Max logo was designed to be a stylised representation of Nike’s Air Max trademark. It is intended to reflect the Air Max brand only.

Any other perceived meaning or representation is unintentional.’

Nike can call Colin Kapernick for advice and a moral compass. I do not wear Nike’s. And, not if, but when they cave it will be just one more reason not to wear Nike’s. In Iran, I am sure Nike will be just fine with Death to America shoes…..Screw Nike…

“Islam teaches compassion”? Such deceptive proselytizing for the unjust Muhammadism should be illegal & prosecuted as incitement to the unjust Muhammad-war, law & tyranny.
Unjust Muhammad burned people for not praying, declared Africans slaves, crucified critics, commanded the forcible lifelong torture of declitorization of girls, forced theism on anyone, raped, tortured, commanded to beat children, promoted inbreeding, declared war on atheists, Jews & all other Non-muhammadists & ‘kissed’ penises of boys & sucked boys’ tongues & lips (see Wikiislam).
Today Africans are enslaved, castrated, divorced, beaten & killed in Saudi Arabia, enslaved in the UAE, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, Iraq, North-Sudan, Libya (surge), Algeria (surge), Mauritania (20 percent), Niger, Mali, Somalia, Nigeria in emulation of unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so Africans’ descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks.

Keep”allah” on the sole of sneaker. That is where he belongs.
I’m not fussy where you position it. Step on “allah”.

I grew up on Nike but I wouldn’t be caught dead in them since they favor anti-American Kaepernick
“Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.” A photograph of former San Francisco 49ers quarterback and social activist Colin Kaepernick will be featured in a new Nike ad campaign celebrating the 30th anniversary of the “Just Do It” slogan.

Why should Nike or any non-Muslim respect Islam when Islam explicitly has zero respect for all disbelievers and orders that they be fought until Islam rules over all everywhere? Islam spits on every disbeliever and officially wants them killed or subjugated if possible as historically it has tried to do for centuries. Fear it, yes, but you must respect it?

Excellent place for Big Al’s name top be high lighted. Who has ever stopped a runner and looked at the logo on their shoes until the slimier cult brought it to light., place Al’s name right in the mud, smells and filth where it belongs..

Now to really highlight the great respect for the cults belief’s there should be a yearly special charity race held at a pig farm wit the stipulation that all participants must wear clean Nike Dirty Al shoes only.

Do maybe 300 laps in pig slop and manure then mail the shoes COD to CAIR to show them the real respect they believe they deserve.

They can clean them and make some sort of shrine or swine happy, what ever floats their carpets/rugs..

Usual islamic strategy, Insert islam into everything by being outraged with everything.

Hell, they find outrage everywhere, starting with:
Christianity, a blasphemy because Christ is son of god. Shove allah down their throats.
Buddhism: No, no ,no , there’s only one god, shove allah down their throats.
Hinduism: twice as bad as Buddhism, as it’s animal worshiping. Shove allah down their throats
The various types of islam: not true islam, has nothing to do with islam. Shove our islam down their throats.
Everything else, find something stupid to be outraged. Then shove allah down their throats
