The International Herald Tribune is reporting that the military is apologizing because some soccer balls they gave away in Afghanistan had Allah’s name on them.

The offending balls have an image of a flag on every patch. One of the flags shown is the flag of Saudi Arabia and it contains the Islamic declaration of faith. The Islamic declaration of faith contains the name of Allah and the Prophet Muhammad. HE is a quote from the military apologizing for doing nothing wrong.
Yep, outrage, protest, demonstrations, the whole bit. Over soccer balls. YOu just can’t make some people happy no matter what you try to do. Remember these are the same people that were burning MREs that were dropped to them even though they were starving. |
It amazes me that their country is in shambles, war ravaged, with people being killed every day and they have nothing better to get upset about than an image on a soccer ball.
Michelle Malkin has more on it here.
