No, I think that the objectors had a valid point.
Having the name of God (in Arabic ) trivialised is not a good thing.

What if the wrapper said " Holy Virgin Mary" or "Jesus, Son of God" ?
Would would the Catholics have said then ?
Catholic's would've gone psycho.
Just like any other religion would've feel vandalised.
People are only picking on Muslims because, really, of this whole terrorism thing.

Please note, I'm not actually saying that their reaction is justified, nor am I actually stereotyping Muslims as terrorists.
I'm simply saying that the man in question reacted as many other people would, and people are only picking on him because he is MUSLIM.

"Son of God" is a fuckload more difficult to get by coincidence than a 1 character squiggle, but I'm sure if, for example, there was a cross which could be construed as a crucifix was on there 99.99% of Christians wouldn't give a shit.

if yuo remove the bends in a swastka, you get a cross. when i say the word "shit" its a swear word, but has a cross in it for the letter "t" you dont see christians having a cry.

It was a mistake - Burger King rectified it as soon is it was brought to their attention - what more does this guy want? I hardly think theres a section in burger king HQ designed specifically to come up with logos that will inusult people.

i think they should have left it as it is. to make a stand against stupid people who associate anything to theri beliefs and get insulted from it.

it was settled after they rectified it. he had made the plea to boycott before they had said anything.

if they can bear losing profit to "make a stand", then they would have done it.
