Apple Computer Insults Islam!

If millions of iPod-listening slackers start travelling from around the world to New York to see/shop at this particular store, then I would say they have an excuse to get worried.

Looks as though the Lemur was deceived (along with thousands of other Digg readers). Apparently the web site that posted this news nugget is not reputable, and, well, read for yourself.

The reality of the matter was that it was a random post on a random website, without a single supporting name or organization to reflect the “muslim community’s outrage.” The MEMRI article did not even link to, nor identify, the Arabic news source it was supposed to be citing or translating!

If you look again into MEMRI’s background, the organization seems to be a source not known for being unbiased.

Now I wouldn’t be one to pass judgement quickly, but given these irregularities, I would tend to think that this is plain propaganda aimed at discrediting the Muslim community.

Someone posted unconfirmed junk on the internet? How dare they! I sure hope that never happens again. Ugh. I feel so used.

Or damage control, after all it could spark the thought that muslims don't react well to critisism, satire and social exclusion
