Coca Cola celebrating “the month of conquest and jihad” Mind you, there is no Jewish, Hindu, Bahai, Zorastrian, etc Coke celebrations. Because Coke does not fear them. Muslim religious leaders have long exhorted devout (active) Muslims to use the holy month of Ramadan as a sacred opportunity to attack non-Muslim infidels in “the United States and Europe.” Ramadan is “the month of conquest and jihad,” and encourages Muslims to “be ready” to attack the infidels in their own lands.

Coca-Cola’s Islam-themed ‘Ramadan soda’ sparks outrage in Norway
Nation| May 13, 2019
In connection with the Islamic month of fasting, Ramadan, Coca-Cola Norway has launched a nationwide campaign featuring its recognisable logo adorned with a crescent moon, an important symbol in Islam.
While celebrating Ramadan has been a long tradition for Coca-Cola in Muslim countries, this is the first time it has donned Islamic imagery in the Scandinavian nation, where it previously only used to have Christmas campaigns.
“We want to show our clear stance on diversity and how important it is to society. Diversity and inclusion have always been important to Coca-Cola. For example, many do not know that in the 1950s we were actively engaged in the civil rights movement. Cola was the first to front women in advertising campaigns”, Johanna Kosanovic, marketing manager at Coca-Cola Norway, told the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet, stressing the company’s commitment to diversity and gender equality.
Nina Marianne Iversen, a professor of marketing and branding at the Norwegian Business School (BI) argued that it was clear that Coca-Cola wanted to establish closer ties with Muslims.
“Another motive for Coca-Cola is that they want to show themselves as a responsible social actor by linking the brand to diversity and inclusion”, Iversen pointed out. “They challenge the establishment and those sceptical of Islam”, she said, praising the company for being “tough” enough to risk provoking negative stereotypes.

She stressed that it was “only natural” for Coca-Cola to follow up on Ramadan, given their Christmas campaigns. According to her, the campaign should “trigger curiosity and raise awareness”, admitting that it could also spark controversy.
On social media, though, the reactions were more mixed, as Andersen predicted.
“Islam is not welcome or wanted in beautiful Norway. Go to an Islamic country with this c**p. Try marketing Christian holidays there”, a user raged over Coca-Cola’s “Happy Ramadan” wish on Instagram.
“I’m not against Islam, but this is not how the Coca-Cola company should behave in a Christian country”, another one chimed in.

On Facebook, many threatened a boycott.
“No more Cola. Yuck!” another user reacted on Facebook.
“Then it’ll be Pepsi from here onwards. To talk about taking a knee. I hope Coca-Cola sales plunge”, another one joined in.
Norway’s Islamic community has been growing exponentially since the 1960s. At present, Muslims are estimated to constitute 5.7 per cent of Norway’s population of 5.2 million.
The crescent moon, or the Hilal, is often used as a decorative element in mosques and interiors. The moon has religious significance as moon phases determine the Islamic calendar and, consequently, the time of religious holidays.

Agreed. Notice how Americans are aborting future Americans at an alarming rate….while the Muslims have 3 kids to our every one kid…..it’s just a matter of time.

The dying free West needs a programme much like de-nazification to purge muslums and their death cult but I don’t think that’s ever going to happen which will lead to the last resort civil wars across the dying atheist West or subjugation by muslums.

F*ck Coke I won’t be buying their products again. Let the f’ing muslums support them.
If you want to tell Coke what you think of their pandering to the muslums here’s where to do it:

I’m a cola addict too. In the meantime, I’ve started to con-
sume so-called “near-water” drinks, otherwise I get too fat.

I drink a lot of diet sodas, aside from the carbonic acid (H2C03), which is a weak acid (much weaker than stomach acid) I don’t see what the big health risk is, diet soda is mostly water.

Hitler had at least 30 lives, depending on his sur-
vived attacks (see tyrannicide). The cursed Mer-
kel pig of course has much more sophisticated
methods of hiding behind bulletproof glass.

Somehow this is a test of strength between a people who have put
up with everything in the meantime and an installed childless matron
who, grinning, can expect anything from this people. But anyone who
believes that the Germans have understood to this day what demo-
cracy means, namely to stand up and vote differently, is mistaken.

Huh. More leftist pandering in the name of “tolerance and diversity”. Meanwhile, Christian persecution reaches “near-genocide levels”, even the BBC is admitting it:

I only tasted ‘coke’ once back in the fifties when it first came out in UK, never again. I despise it and I view those who guzzle it with sadness.

I don’t always drink soda…but,… if I do…it wouldn’t be Coca-Cola.
Both Islam and Coke are bad for you.

Coca-Cola is poison and banned from our household decades ago as a very unhealthy, useless and expensive habit. Let the jihadists drink the crap until their legs fall off from diabetes and their livers rot and their hearts and arteries clogged. Good way to get rid of the scum. Sorry if I offended any Cola drinkers here but you really need to know the drink is poison and as dangerous long-term as heroin,and maybe more so. Just do a search on the subject.

It does not have any sugar at all, at least in the US.It is laced with high fructose corn syrup which is far less expensive and far more dangerous to your health.
