    Wonder how that toy's designer would feel if he met one. Or if he were to talk to a real, normal Muslim.

    Not even a particularly good fake of a toy; the pic was obviously created in Photoshop or something.

    How is it racist or against Muslims? It's simply America's opinion of Jihadists - they don't like 'em too much.

    I don't think it is racist.
    It's just satirizing Osama Bin Laden and his followers. It says nothing about his race or his religion, only that he and his followers are a bunch of maniacal *******s.
    Which they are.

    But to answer the question? No. I grew out of toys, politically sensitive or otherwise, a long time ago.

    Arabwel has a very goooood point don't you think. In the future when people are going to think of terrorism and the horrors they bestowed upon us, well, this toy could be something for people to think about. I guess that's how alot of people view him and his followers.

    Damn straight

    And if people are being racist why should anybody be bothered by it as long as their thoughts remain just that, as thoughts?

    Sure if they come to your face preaching about the supremacy of something against something else, slap them silly, otherwise I take them usually as people who express their beliefs. IF done in good tastes, where the problem lies I'm afraid; what's good what's bad.

    I find it hard to imagine why people get so fussed up about something like that. Just a picture which makes fun about OBL.
