#1 When I saw it, my mouth fell open. I dropped the ice cream. I canceled my order. That was the defining moment of my life.

Somehow, I find it hard to fear a people so twitchy that they become dysfunctional over a Burger King ice cream cone.

#2 Except they occasionally get so twitchy they explode and kill innocent people.

#3 Only Mel Brooks could dream up something this dumb. Rashad will soon be seeing Allah in the clouds and wan't to burn the earth. Good god!

#5 "I was thinking of my stomach. I was hungry. I would have loved to eat an ice cream. When I saw it, my mouth fell open. I dropped the ice cream. I canceled my order. That was the defining moment of my life." Talk about wrapped tooo tight! I am going out on a limb and guess that Rashad is on the Dole and has a LOT of time on his hands to contemplate. FYI MANY things in the world form a cross but I don't drop my Western Bacon Cheeseburger and run away like a little girl.

#7 The graphic on the icecream cone looks like a turd. Is this guy actually comparing Allah to a turd? We report, you decide.

#8 A link to the images in question. As a courtesy of Little Green Footballs I've linked rather than hot-linked the image.

#9 More graphic designers should work harder at inserting more offensive arabic sayings into their art.
That one wasn't nearly offensive enough.

#10 We, as an American company, are sorry
This guy obviously doesn't know much about modern business. Burger King isn't an "American" company. Until 2002 it was owned by a British firm (Diageo), then the equity firms, Texas Pacific Group, Bain Capital and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, bought it and took it private. It now plans to go public again with an IPO.

#11 My suggestion to Burger King would be to redesign the lid to the Arabic spelling of Fuck You.

#13 The fear of God, the love of God, the love of not letting anyone disrespect God.

-I'm fairly certain the Almighty can handle himself. Then again, the God I believe in is way different then the God this tool belt prays to.

#14 'geek - hey, can you tell me what "playa" or "player" is in arabic? How about "pimp daddy"?
We could put that shit on t-shirts! How about "there are two infidels fucking on the back of my shirt"........then on the back of the shirt you have - "just kidding, believe in Mohammad (puss be upon him)!" or "Mohammad did it for the ~~underage~~ chicks."

I'm smelling a capitalistic idea here for exploitation of arab sensibilities for my own personal gain.......mwhahahahaha

#15 So, was it a sugar cone or a wafer cone ?

#16 I might go for 'puss be upon him' (as well as all other rapists, pedophiles and murderers), but please, please, no rap, hip-hop or 'gansta' references.

Damn. Now I'm hungry for a Dole Whip.

#18 I have hated Burger Kig food my entire life. Tonight though, I dine at the King.

#20 I hear that if you eat all the ice cream out of the cone you can see a picture of mohammed looking up from the bottom!

(lol - burn baby burn)

#21 Why should Burger King be blamed for Allan's name looking like an ice cream swirl?.. or a dog turd.

#22 Poor ol' Allan (pity be upon him) must be rolling his eyes wondering what he ever did to get such fuck-wit followers.

#24 Oh like you guys have never had a profound life-defining moment while playing with your food. Hell, it happens to me everytime I shove habañeros up my nose to impress the chicas in Cancun.

#25 Rashad - You win the prize! Instant rendition to Gitmo. You will learn to get your priorities straight.

Every friggin' day we're confronted with another Islamic absurdity. What is it going to take to get THE SYSTEM to stand up to these ass-clowns? Is it going to take a mushroom cloud over Manhattan, or Balitmore?

We need to kill a whole hell of a lot more of these pukes, and do it a hell of a lot faster.
