This is sort of unrelated, I guess, but does anybody remember when Nike discontinued some of its shoes (I think the "Air Bakin'" was one of them) because the word "Air" was written in text that looked like Arabic for "Allah"? There were some big protests from Muslims back then, Hakeem Olajuwon among the more vocal protesters. People said they didn't want the name of Allah on a pair of shoes because they would get stepped on and thrown in the trash. Anyway, it's pretty serious business and obviously a very sensitive issue for some people.
