Raging Bull

"Burger King...withdrew its ice cream cones from its British menus because Rashad Akhtar of High Wycombe complained that the creamy swirl shown on the lid looked like the word 'Allah' in Arabic script. I don't know which sura in the Koran says don't forget, folks, it's not just physical representations of God or the Prophet but also chocolate ice cream squiggly representations of the name, but ixnay on both just to be 'sensitive'."

``Riots were touched off today protesting the release of a photograph taken by the Huygens space probe which allegedly showed a likeness of Muhammed wearing a hat made out of a chicken, appearing in a frozenchunk of methane on the surface of Titan. Leaders of the protest complained that space agency officials sent probes to Saturn and its` frozen moon to degrade and humiliate Muslims worldwide. In response to this provocation, rioters burned several cars in Paris, broke out the windows of a jewelry store in Vienna, and looted a liquor store in Northampton, England. Several injuries were reported.``
