Nope. they're going to keep complaing until we submit to Isalm.

they don't realize that Western citizens can only be pushed so far that if our govts. don't do something we'll take the matter into our own hands.

we all did it once, we're quite capable of doing it again.

WARNING - The Apple Cube/Muslim connection is bogus. Be aware - the original Cube/Muslim "offense" blog was posted by a party attempting to sow distrust of Muslims. Don't get caught up in this - your chain is being yanked, as it were. No such "offense" occurred.

The complaint aroused during the time of the cube being covered up by a black piece of cloth with pictures of it circulating through the net, and several media outlets describing it "the Mecca of Mac lovers" ((and underline Mecca with a thousand lines)).This was the main reason for the uproar caused. Say that they never used 'black' for the cover and the name "Mecca" in their early media hype, the Muslims would have never cared... THIS WAS intentional.:)
However, mocking the Muslim world with depraved claims such as “Cubes as objects of offence” is another story, and shows a great deal of conflict, hate and distrust.
Shame on you Apple, I think I will switch back to using windows.. Yes sir..-.-

106 - The Koran — The Qureaish...

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[106.1] For the protection of the Qureaish--
[106.2] Their protection during their trading caravans in the winter and the summer--
[106.3] So let them serve the Lord of this House
[106.4] Who feeds them against hunger and gives them security against fear.
