Apple Insults Islam?

• Islamic

You can find almost anything insulting if you are determined to:

According to the message, the cube-shaped building which is being constructed in New York City, on Fifth Avenue between 58th and 59th Streets in midtown Manhattan, is clearly meant to provoke Muslims. The fact that the building resembles the Ka’ba (see picture below), is called “Apple Mecca,” is intended to be open 24 hours a day like the Ka’ba, and moreover, contains bars selling alcoholic beverages, constitutes a blatant insult to Islam.

Well before so quickly jumping into your assumptions and pointing a finger to blame the world. Do a little research. According to the NY Post it does have a bar but its an IPOD bar, for downloading music not downing alcoholic beverages. Also it was named Apple Store Fifth Avenue not Apple Mecca. Speaking as a Muslim I know my religion and also the beauty of it. We have to show others who don't quite know much about it besides what the media has portrayed what Islam is truly about. This is a religion of peace and we should instead of always blaming others for what is going on show them Islam through your actions. Conduct yourself in a good manner, and behave properly, remember everyone actions speak louder than words. So please demonstrate your proper ideals. So don't so quickly make assumptions every time a cube pops up in the world. Do your research and eliminate the ignorance that hovers over you. I respect everyone no matter how many times I am insulted for my faith, it does not effect me and I still respect and show them kindness. Because this was the practice of the prophet.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Apple Insults Islam?. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
