Offended Muslims Demand Nike Remove “Allah” Shoes
They claim that the logo on Nike’s Air Max 270 trainers resembles the word “Allah” in Arabic script, “which will surely be trampled, kicked and become soiled with mud or even filth.”

The resemblance is minimal, but 6,000 people have signed a petition which asserts, “It is outrageous and appalling of Nike to allow the name of God on a shoe. This is disrespectful and extremely offensive to Muslim’s and insulting to Islam. Islam teaches compassion, kindness and fairness towards all.”( that last sentence made me laugh)

BUT the Muslims will get Nike to cave on a nothing burger.
 
Nike donated $50,000 to a Muslim elementary after the uproar. The CFO stated that that cost would be more than offset with a new agreement with Cottonelle to license the trademark for a new line of "Angel Soft" toilet paper.
