CINCINNATI (Reuters) -- A car commercial proclaiming a jihad on the U.S. auto market and offering "Fatwa Fridays" with free swords for the kids is offensive and should not be aired, Muslim leaders said on Sunday.[/b]

"They are planning on launching a jihad on the automotive market and their representatives would be wearing burqas ... ," Mirza said. "They mentioned the pope in there and also about giving rubber swords out to the kiddies -- really just reprehensible-type comments."

I think this is humorous...

free swords for the kids...too funny...are these Morons over-reacting?

I guess one of the symptoms of still living in the middle ages is an underdeveloped sense of humor.

At least they are giving away rubber swords, and not plastic suicide belt bombs.

Quite frankly, I couldn't care less. If I thought a company did something in poor taste, I would not do business with them. It really is that simple. I think some people should go out and buy some new undies, because the ones they have must be waaaaay to tight. JMHO
