This is just pure dumb! Basically “Dunkin’ Donuts” has canceled their online advertisement after complaints were made regarding the scarf she wore. Apparently it symbolised support for terrorism. Below is the image:


Dunkin’ Donuts said it pulled the ad cos of what it calls a “misperception” about the scarf that detracted from its original intent to promote its iced coffee.

Critics, including conservative commentator Michelle Malkin, complained that the scarf appeared to be traditional garb worn by Arab men. The ad’s critics say such scarves have come to symbolise Muslim extremism and terrorism.

I actually own the black and white scarf that I purchased from Peacock few months back, I saw them selling it in all major clothing shops, such as TopMan and Primark. I don’t know about America but in UK it’s a big fashion accessory. So all those people wearing it must be either terrorists or supporting terrorists!!

Perhaps American should ban socks and jackets too, I am sure terrorists wear them… I really hope majority of the Americans aren’t dumb, stupid, useless, uneducated, low lives who can’t think for themselves as people who voted ‘yes’ to say they found the scarf offensive.

Assalamu’aluykum,

Seeing that a lot of Muslims use image hosting sites, I thought of why not we have our Muslim version? And all the money that we earn through advertising can go towards a Muslim charity. Insha’Allah this will be one way of helping the Ummah.

Let’s hope Muslims make use of it. Please bookmark it somewhere, just incase you forget the URL.

Assalamu’alykum,

We have (alhamdulilah) started taking baby steps towards our biggest web development project yet. I won’t be mentioning any details into what this project consists of, however it’s not something that hasn’t been done before. It has been a successful venture for few non-muslims and one muslim webmaster in particular.

So far we have the concept (i’m still writing it down to create a solid foundation), budget (we should have all by end of this month, insha’Allah), domain name (sal.am) and server (iGraphic server).
