A car dealership's planned radio advertisement that declared "a jihad on the automotive market"has drawn sharp criticism for its content but will not be changed, the business said Saturday.
Several stations rejected the Dennis Mitsubishi spot, which says sales representatives wearing"burqas"_ head-to-toe traditional dress for Islamic women _ will sell vehicles that can"comfortably seat 12 jihadists in the back." "Our prices are lower than the evildoers'every day. Just ask the pope!"the ad says."Friday is fatwa Friday, with free rubber swords for the kiddies." A fatwa is a religious edict. Dealership president Keith Dennis said the ad does not disrespect any religion or culture. He said it was"fair game"to poke"a little fun at radical extremists." http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/013286.php http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2006Sep23/0,4670,DealershipJihadAd,00.html http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14990383/ Of course, this brings back memories of this ad: http://www.snopes.com/photos/advertisements/vwpolo.asp Bottom line is that if its fair game to 'attack' other religions in 'humor' or sales, it's fair to 'attack' Islam in the exact same way.
