Just looking at the responses here(does the word “cool” written on shoes made by PUMA resemble the word “Allah” in Arabic?)and, through a Google search, the amount of time that was wasted on all this makes me wonder if we give the ideas to our enemies. If they may mean it, boycott Puma. EVEN if they may not mean it, you can also boycott Puma. No one will die if they do not buy Puma products.
Of course we should be angry for the name of Allah SWT. BUT even some muslims, as some who posted comments here, will tell us that we have to stop being paranoid at seeing anything that may seem like an insult. They are also right. The reason is that we should not give the fuel to those who are trying to agitate us, occupy us with useless distractions and take our eyes off the REAL INSULTS; Gaza, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq etc etc… Do we have to wait for a funny font , whether deliberate or not to think of boycotting things and companies.? Is the murder of hundreds of thousands of muslims not enough?

We waste so much time analysing something and we KNOW or should know it will make no difference, other than cause muslims to exchange insults and worse (one comment is asking the writer “are you muslim?”).

-Should we not be better outraged in an effective manner and boycott the hundreds of STARBUCKS on the streets of muslim countries?
-Should we not be outraged and petition or send emails to the embassies of the two muslim countries that are insulting and accusing each other and destroying the relations between their two peoples because of what stupid football hooligans and thugs did at a football match? (having ensured, though idiotic build up and hype, that these things were very likely to happen)
- Should we not have a campaign to boycott OUR OWN Arab and Muslim TELEVISIONS for the corruption and moral decadance they are spreading among muslims. As the Prophet SAAWS siad ” you will follow them even if they go into the lizard’s hole”. Look at us; star of the arabs, big brother house, who wants to be a millionaire, video clips, albums and CD’s of useless singers selling millions, series upon series of time wasting immoral dramas and sitcomsetc., Whgere do you want me to stop.
- Should we urge each other and start campaigns to remind all muslims of the manners of Islam and of our prophet SAAWS. Should we not ensure that muslims stop cheating each other, lying to each other, insulting each other, talking about each other and worse and worse!!!
- Should we not push for a culture of work and production and perfecting what we do and serving our communities and muslim nation so that we can achieve some progress. We are the nations with huge resources and wealth but are behind all those who until recently were completely destroyed by war(Germany , Japan, Korea) or were considered poor(Spain , Greece, Eastern European countries.
- Should we not start a movement to educate our children about their social aspects and work ethics of their religion and the history of muslim civilisation so that they feel proud instead of feeling that they are seen as seeds of violance and bitterness.
- When we start addressing the relevant issues we will no longer need to worry about how we see the top of a coca cola bottle if we put it in front of the mirror, whether or not the Danish cartoonist who drew the famous cartoons died with the whole of his family in a fire(and that Denmark is hiding the fact, in case the whole world think “Allaho Akbar it is a miracle”, or that he was turned into a pig!, or whether Shiekh Ahmad, the guard of the Prophets Mosque saw the prophet SAAWS who told him that we should all forward at least 30 emails OR ELSE “forward and you get 30000 dinars in 2 weeks, do not forward and your son will die in 4 days in a horrible accident!!!!”.
We will work and use our time effectively to educate ourselves, read Quraan and implement it rather than send emails to “ALL MUSLIMS” asking them to “vote for Allah and that Islam is the best religion” on the website of an obscure italian newspaper.(the link usually takes you to a survey in Dutch that is completely unrelated to the subject). We will stop publicising anti islamic websites on behalf of their owners by stupidly sending the messages about how we should avoid them (with full details about how to access them!!!)to “ALL MUSLIMS” on our contact lists. WHERE DO I STOP?

IF the Prophet SAAWS and the sahaba spent the time chasing the insults that the Kuffar and the Jews in Madinah through at them, rather than learning, building and establishing the State (AND THERE WERE many insults, much worse than we encounter) there would have been no Muslim Nation or Civilisation

May Allah guide us all to be useful to ourselves, our families, our societies and and our Nation. May He help us to target our efforts at what will bring benefit and progress to muslims and nonmuslims alike.

Anyway, being muslim we can not refuse of any Prophet and if we refuse we will not be remain muslims. However, its the history that the jews had same with christains and now jews and christains both doing the same with Islam & Muslims.
If you thoroghly check your product that is the shoes you are also laughing at your own religion because ALLAH (God)is not only ours He is yours also. So it means that you are joking with your owns. Hopefully, you have got the point nothing to say else.
