Muslim websites are reporting that a devious plot to undermine Islam is underway right this minute in New York. Islamic agents have uncovered a building (an Apple store) that clearly ridicules the Ka’bah, the most sacred place in the world for Muslims. They are urging all Muslims to stop this blatant structure as it is clearly an insult to the religion of Islam.
Muslim agents were quick to realize that the plot was much deeper than expected. It has been in progress for several years, maybe even decades. It spans all cultures and almost every household in the US. What they found was nothing short of astonishing.
Take for example the Rubik’s cube, obviously an attack on Islam. Or how about the Nintendo Game Cube? Still not convinced? Then have a look at a pair of "ordinary" looking playing dice! What about the Mac G4 Cube? Think that’s a coincidence? I highly doubt it. And then the biggest and most barefaced piece of evidence is America’s one and only Ice Cube.
The facts speak for themselves. Any questions?

Why insult Islam? They are doing a fine job of insulting it themselves!
October 11th, 2006 at 5:15 pm
oh noes… the muslims are insulted again… what a shocker :-O in other news, the rest of the world is just too busy going about their monkey (or ape if you will) business to care about muslims being insulted.

I knew Picasso was a zionist conspirator!
October 11th, 2006 at 6:16 pm
Muslims insulted, film at eleven.
I wonder what the sane muslims think about these things? Do they discuss it in the Mosque? Do they vote on what ever deserves thier “righteous” anger?
Seriously, this is just insane. I’m very pacifistic, but please show me who’s idea it was, so I may kick him in the face.
In other news, Atheists find these buildings greatly insulting. Lets tear them down.

This would have been much more fun if it was apple dragging Islam to the judge for copyright infringement :P
October 11th, 2006 at 6:28 pm
First of all, I read most of the Arabic news every day, I never heard of such thing, stop picking up stories, nobody even heard of and make it big deal, all I notice on this site that any thing happen in Islamic world, and off course negative one is well covered here.
I think if one Muslim fart, you would make bid deal out of it. I forgot you all are perfect, all have reasonable opinion, your above and beyond.
Stop getting news from unknown sources and make big deal about it, so to fell that Athiesm make sense.

Mohamed, Memri.org is a very well known organization. They specialize in translating website and media from the middle east and sharing it with the public.
Do I think this story is representative of the entire Muslim population? Of course not, but it makes for some fine entertainment :)
Oh, I don’t see you criticizing me when I post stupid Christian articles ;)

Ice Cube!
October 11th, 2006 at 8:28 pm
Ice Cube actually converted to Islam.
Heh, so he could be insulting himself.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:58 am
Apple Gazette here. We did some research and found out that Muslims actually love the Apple Cube!
October 12th, 2006 at 2:14 am
I got it Memir.org, what a friendly web site fo Islam, they are the one who I knew about Wafa Sultan from. Do they cover Israel, I don’t think so. I’m sorry if I was harsh in my words, the whole comment it wasn’t only for you, I meant some members here in the site.
If there is Muslim think that cube is offensive to Muslims, he is stupid, and the story is not that credible and it doesn’t represent the Muslims, I know it entertaining, but there are people here doesn’t take it this way, they are takin it seriously.
I’m sorry if I offended you agains and I hope you accept my appolgy.
Thank you
October 12th, 2006 at 2:20 am
Look here that the staff of Memir and notice that most of them are Jews, so there is not comment. here I copy that from Wikipedia the evlutionest Bible, so do you think these stories are accident!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Staff
In its original website of 1998, MEMRI listed 6 staff members: its President and cofounder Yigal Carmon, cofounder Meyrav Wurmser (Executive Director), Aaron Mannes (Director of Research), Yotam Feldner (Director of Media Analysis), Stacey Lakind (Research Associate), and Aluma Solnick (Research Associate). Stacey Lakind left in late 1998, and Aaron Mannes in early 2001; the others were still MEMRI staff as of October 5, 2001, when MEMRI stopped listing its employees on its website. Meyrav Wurmser left in early 2002 to join the Hudson Institute; she was replaced as Executive Director by Steven Stalinsky.

[Serious]Is their faith (as distinct from their political agenda) of any importance? Should it be?
[Less Serious]Other than that, I applied for a US patent on “Using basic geometric shapes to offend Muslims” 6 weeks ago, once that comes through I’ll be selling cubes left right and center, to go with my existing range of products, which include “Star of David schoolwork gold stars” and my extremely successful “Christian Noughts and Crosses” game.

“Using basic geometric shapes to offend Muslimsâ€
I’ll take three, two cubes and one of those nifty hyper spheres i hear about :P
October 12th, 2006 at 7:58 am
Look, if anyone actually takes this story serious, then you truly are troubled. Memri found one Muslim that didn’t like it and made it seem as if all Muslims didn’t. I believe it was done in part to build up the image of Muslims as seemingly more and more intolerant.
However, I expect the readers here to see past that and appreciate the story for the joke it was. Why do you think I used Ice Cube and the other pictures?

lol, the “Mohamed” dude needs to chill, its a joke not a jew conspiracy, this website(so i have found) its just for entertainment and to learn others view points not to discredit a whole race, please dont come to this website unless you are openminded and have a sense of humor
*a 15 yr olds 2cents* “_”
October 12th, 2006 at 10:05 am
In a way, I can understand Mohamed’s touchiness on the subject. I don’t think it’s that he has no sense of humor; I think he’s sick of Islamic extremists getting all the news coverage and the inevitable criticism of such extremism. Also, if English isn’t his first language (I don’t know if it is or not), he may have trouble recognizing the joking tone that gasmonso used. I also commend him for being an Islamic moderate who speaks out. I wish there were more news coverage of moderates across the board. Unfortunately, moderates aren’t as entertaining as extremists.
October 12th, 2006 at 10:19 am
Mohamed is a good guy that I plan on keeping in touch with via email whether or not he frequents the site. My hope is that he’ll stick around here long enough to understand where I’m coming from and where many of you are coming from.
Plus, I think we can all learn from hearing his point of view. So stick around Mohamed and invite a few of your other Muslim friends to provide some support :)

i see, i agree diversity is great on this website i just hate seeing people over react to jokes,but it is understandable if it was a simple mistake ,
my bad
^_^ long live diversity….as long as i dont have to go to church or a mosque
October 13th, 2006 at 4:01 am
Aye. Props to Mohamed for giving us his viewpoint (and for associating with us heathens). I know I have disagreed with him strongly on a number of occasions, but his contributions to the site have definately provided food for thought.

This story reeks of the evil marketing plans of Microsoft and IBM to destroy Apples market share.
October 13th, 2006 at 8:13 am
Hey Steve, admit it. “Apple” is clearly a reference to the “forbidden fruit” which lead to the fall of Man…a Biblical symbology. Admit your Christian agenda.
October 13th, 2006 at 9:03 am
Let me be the first to say that it is an absolute honor to have Bill Gates and Steve Jobs visiting my little piece of the Internet.
I have to agree with Bill though… choosing and Apple as your symbol is clearly the work of the devil at the very least. You will not see me taking a bite if that anytime soon!
gasmonso
P.S. Bill, your offer of $100,000,000 to acquire this site is insulting and I can accept nothing under $250,000,000. Please reconsider. Thanks!

As a Muslim, I love the Apple Store cube. I waited in line with 5 other Muslims for 2 and a half hours to attend the grand opening and even met Muslim Apple employees. I even blogged about it: http://sulaymanf.blogspot.com/2006/05/amazing-day.html
Plain and simple, MEMRI quoted an anoymous poster, likely a troll. Nobody cares, and Muslims aren’t offended. Even if one Muslim was mistakenly offended, you shouldn’t be running it as “Muslims outraged.” When a sniper shot at Muslims praying in a Florida mosque about 2 weeks ago, would it have been apropos to run a headline “Americans attacking Muslims?” No, so don’t be unreasonable.
October 14th, 2006 at 1:23 am
I knew the creators of Star Trek TNG had some political/religious motivation when they made the Borg cube! It all makes sense now…
October 14th, 2006 at 1:54 pm
Mohamed is right to take this ’serious’ because I’m pretty sure that he has something in mind and acting with his reflexes.
It’s a well known fact : Lot of american medias are making their own version of the news around the world and they doesn’t care if it’s true or not.
In the past 3 years, american medias made a big melting pot with these words :” muslim, Islam, Islamist, terrorism, terrorists, terror, bombs, Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein” and they made lot of relations with all these words. What you see now, it’s about the same thing. They want to associate a bad image with the word Muslim.
I think that Mohamed posted lot of things against their ‘relations’ with the words mentioned above. I also think that Mohamed is bored of all that eagerness of american media and if I see what Mohamed has in mind, I’malso bored of that thing. I’m not a muslim, nor a christian, but I can understand that they are upset when they see a big lie.
(sorry if it’s not well written, english isn’t my first language)
October 14th, 2006 at 7:59 pm
The American media, it’s joke, I never seen a media just focus on what’s going on in just USA, and the outside world don’t even matter. Look at the big names in the media, and look how they act if white girl kiddnaped, it’s like this girl is the whole world and nothing else matter, and that’s brings us to another point, the Westerner here complain about the Islamic terroriest, and they ignored every warning Egyp gave them about terrorism from 10:12 years, when the Egyptian economy sufferd a lot from the terrorist, and the excuse was that Egypt supress speech freedom.
I hope every body get my point here, when you ignore threat in some area of the world because it doesn’t happen in your backyard, it will be in your backyard so soon.
I remember these days when Egypt asked USA to help Egypt against terrorist and they refused, and I remember when Egypt asked Britian to give some terrorist to the Egyptian justice, and the British Gov replied that they are in England and they can’t deliver them to Egypt because they are free to do what they can.
Now every body complain about the Muslim and how they are terroeist, believe it or not the west helped this terrorist to be what they are now.
Thank you fo,r everybody who welcomed me here in this site, I really like arguing with you guys, opinion difference doesn’t make me mad, every story has two sides, you have yours I have mine.
My English is not my first language, I’m trying hard to learn, and I think you helped me with that, I don’t look at you as just athiest, I’m learning from you guys too.
Thank you

The United States is founded on the principle of opposition. It only exists as long as there is an “enemy.” At the beginning, the British. Then the Indians and the pro-slaves/anti-slaves. Then her shining moment against Germany and Japan. After that the Cold War with USSR. Then it was downhill after the Soviet collapsed. She needed a new enemy to oppose to justify its industrial military entertainment economy. It WAS suppose to be China, but after China stole its spy plane at the beginning of 2001, remember that? The US chickened out, and almost as a gift, 9/11 happened. Then the “War on Terror” started, Muslims became the new target, and US will have an enemy for a long time coming. Especially the bogeyman Osama bin laden (once CIA always CIA) and Al-qaeda. An enemy that can be controlled and used to manipulate the masses. As Church lady once said “how convenient!” And if the masses start to question the new “enemy”, simply blow up a few buses, or release some grainy videotape or soundbites, or piss off Muslims by insulting their religion.

@george washington
from you post, it seems like you buy into (one of the many) 9/11 conspiracy. pissing of muslims is extremely easy, takes no effort. yah its the CIA blowing up all the shit in israel and iraq and other places. god knows the muslims would NEVER even think of blowing up shit themselves. ever think that the enemy migh be real? british were a real enemy. so was germany and japan. when you’re an ambitious, young, imperial power, you make a lot of enemies.
October 19th, 2006 at 12:26 pm
Boris, you need to turn your logic around, too. You ever think that the reason you’ve got so many enemies is because as an ambitious, young imperial power, you have pissed in everyone’s cornflakes over the years?
I’m not saying that it’s right to attack the united states with terrorist attacks. I’m just saying that you should look at the motivations of those who are attacking you, rather than just labelling them as ‘crazy muslims’ and ignoring what is going on from their point of view.

What is the problem with muslims and things that are square? For example the rubik cube, ice cube, and the nintento cube game. I have an rubik cube its been around for years and many Americans have one or owned one at one time or another in their life. And most kids have the nintendo game here in America. But again from what I can tell it does not take much to make them mad any ways, I think they look for an excuse to get pissed off. Well bottom line if they don’t like us having any thing looking like the cube. All I can say is get over it, we arent going to stop making them just to make you muslims happy.
