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.

The radio advertisement for the Dennis Mitsubishi car dealership in Columbus, Ohio, has "a whole jihad theme," said Adnan Mirza, director of the Columbus office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

"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."

Details of the radio ad, which has not yet been broadcast, have been reported in the local media, but officials at the dealership declined to comment about the content of the radio spot.

Two employees at the dealership said they had been deluged with calls about the commercial.

"The ad has never been released, it is not out for public listening," said one employee who declined to give his name. He would not say whether the dealership had changed its mind about airing the commercial.

Tokyo-based Mitsubishi Motors Corp. could not immediately be reached for comment.

Mirza said several local radio stations had already rejected the ad and he hoped the controversy would convince the dealership to rethink its sales strategy.

He also said the Council on American-Islamic Relations would likely contact the dealer to "offer some kind of cultural or sensitivity awareness training."

Gallagher

if they dont like it, dont watch....or better yet, leave

szuberi

actually no...im just talking about what all can be hilarious

blitz_ctr

i agree, lots of things are funny... but some things are pushing it, i may have laughed at that commercial if it was made by a muslim, but if it wasnt... i would have thought its a disgrace! (btw- i havent seen the commercial so i can comment on it)

Rice Burner

Yeah next week's special will feature the salesmen dressed in SS and Hitler outfit's and instead of swords for the kids we'll give them tattoos of numbers on their forearms

Let's see how lightly people take that

cibs

it was a radio ad...

and ^^ are you comparing muslims to ****'s??

szuberi

^^ he is not comparing muslim and *****. he is suggesting a WHAT IF scenario where a similar advert that portrays *****/Hitler and the subsequent negative reaction to that in comparison with this recent event.

e36mark

obviously he isnt. hes just saying that making light of any touchy subject will always receive negative feedback by people and in which case should not be taken lightly in the first place. personally i don't get offended easily. but i also know that the general public is soft hearted so i wouldnt produce a commercial with roman soldiers driving a H2 and a jew pushing jesus in the middle of the road to get hit by the hummer they are riding in. something of that nature is bound to **** off the "wrong" people. but since they are "only muslims", i guess it's okay because they are parasites to humanity right? . either way people are too soft. maybe i should point out the parts where i was being sarcastic so people don't get ***** hurt.

Gallagher

this thread is gay, ****in' delete it.....


All you people that complain about your rights, just shut up !



The end result is that it will always happen and no1 is right.


We are all shown as bad people....

Muslims - *********
Germans - ****'s
White- ****in' rednecks
Blacks - Bank robbers


Do you see Matt or any other black person on this board complaining when a bank robber video is posted? No, they laugh, because they know that isn't everyone, and we also know that this is the same with these muslim terrorists, so just shut the hell up!

Its called marketing, and it sells because people will watch ! What people like, marketers will bring !

imported_JoonyaSI

i agree to a point ... but black ppl dont rob banks ... thats more of a white man thing ... u shoulda put white ppl as pedo's cuase u NEVER see a black person filling those shoes ... we bun that **** STRAIGHT !

szuberi

why dont you STFU first steve...lol

Being called a redneck is not equal to being unjustly BLAMED being a ********* and worse...the community as a whole.

Matt may not complain after watching the black bank robber cuz that robber is obviously doing the wrong thing...which is similar to the majority of muslims who denounce any form of ********* attacks.

So all is not the same and there is a definitive difference.

Gallagher

ok whites are pedofiles......yea, whatever, i'm not but you dont see me complaining about it 24/7.....


My point is that you shouldn't just laugh at it or not care as much because it is not you, its someone else, just because they look the same, or whatever, doesn't mean its you...


That is all for today.....work is done

imported_JoonyaSI
