Saudi Arabians have expressed outrage over a McDonald's toy which, they say, mocks the Prophet Muhammad, The Gatestone Institute reported Monday.

According to a report that appeared on the Arabic news website, Kermalkom.com, on Sunday, the McDonald's fast food restaurant "abused the Prophet Muhammad by placing his name at the base of a toy that is being distributed as part of the Happy Meal, a toy which steps on the name 'Muhammad.'"

According to the Saudis, the designs that appear all around the base, where the figurine stomps its foot, is actually the name "Muhammad" written several times in circles.

And so the West must apologize for offenses real or imagined.

Frankly I'm surprised that more people aren't jumping on this bandwagon....

Besides the fact that McDonald's food is gonna make you fat (someone sued for that right?)...their prices are ridiculous ($5 for a burger and fries)....and the toys are rubbish...

Add to that the fact that the show Power Rangers should be banned for poor acting, awful special effects, and the 'samurai' genre is promoting a religion (or life-style) common in feudal Japan....this whole thing should go viral!

( in case you couldn't tell I was being extremely 'tongue-in-cheek')

This looks a lot like Muhammad too. But they don't have a problem hitchin' 'em up to wagons over there.

This is true. But the picture is of the wrong end that depicts Muhammad.
