Thread: Muslims demand Nike recall shoes 'with Allah on soles'

Nike has committed “blasphemy” with its Air Max 270 shoe, charges a petition launched online by a Muslim that was signed by more than 6,000 people within hours.
The sole of the athletic shoe features the words Air Max in a stylized script that the Muslim protesters believe resembles the Arabic script for “Allah,” the Daily Mail of London reported.
Nike has allowed Allah’s name to be “trampled, kicked and become soiled with mud or even filth,” the petition states.
In Islamic culture, the Daily Mail points out, showing the sole of one’s shoe is a sign of disrespect.
“It is outrageous and appalling of Nike to allow the name of God on a shoe. This is disrespectful and extremely offensive to Muslim’s and insulting to Islam,” wrote Saiqa Noreen
She wrote that Islam “teaches compassion, kindness and fairness towards all.”
“We urge Nike to recall this blasphemous and offensive shoe and all products with the design logo resembling the word Allah from worldwide sales immediately.
“We also request stricter scrutiny of products before they enter the market. I urge all Muslim’s and everyone who respects the freedom of religion to sign this petition.”
In 1997, Nike was forced to recall thousands of pairs of Air Bakin’ sneakers, because the word “Air” written on the heel could be read as Allah in Arabic script.
