Some Humorless Muslims Think Apple’s Cube “Apes” Their Kaaba
Filed under: Bullshit Humans Enjoy
Some Muslims took one look at Steve Jobs new “innovation,” and gave one another a knowing grunt, capped with the profound, rage-inducing eureka: This Apple Guy Is Fucking Us In The Ass.
Because, no matter what equidistant angle you view Apple’s recently unveiled “cube” on Fifth Avenue, New York, the whole thing looks like the old-fashioned Kaaba all Muslims love touching. Worse, any possible alibi out of this potentially explosive situation is snuffed out by calling the same store “Apple Mecca.” Now, how do you exactly wiggle out of this?
I’m sure there’s a funny joke there somewhere, I’m just miserably missing it.
I don’t know about you, but knowing how certain believers take perceived religious insults worse than calling their fathers “goat lover,” Steve Jobs might as well stick a timer on his cube and wait until some angry, overzealous follower of some Islamist cleric throws it a bomb or two, while dancing to the tune of whatever music they use on Iraq’s streets these days.

Those who say it isnt offended must check the name that is used by apple, it simply explains the intensions,….
why such things are done which become the reason of hatred among different culture and religions.
I think transparent cube was fine and acceptable but covering it with black and naming it “Mecca Apple” is the biggest offense.
Such silly acts are root cause of hatred and birth to several security problems emerged due to few silly people.
But simply they are rich so they can buy anything but not manners, knowledge, respect and love.
Yet whatever they do majority of people only have Hatred for them either he or she belongs to any part of world and any race.

Ofcourse this is insulting Islam and those who are kafir(non muslim) you will be defeated by the muslims on the day of judgement. Also Osama Bin Laden is watching you and Apple will surelly repent

My dear, what an article, to follow up what a tone. Certainly this is quite enlightening on the fact that how ignorant these kafir’s are. Yes Bin Laden may be watching but i recommend not to take any action nor any fanatical cleric to engage in unlawful activity, as this would lead to further distancing of the two most powerful religious sects in this world. Let the world’s biggest market economy do as it sees fit but we shouldn’t retaliate! As violence solves nothing……
Lets face it WHY NAME IT KAABA, why not something unprovocative, or have you run out of fancy names to add after the title ‘Saint’. if so soooo sad.
P.S: i don’t think my words will deter Bin Laden.
