The latest thing the Muslims are offended by is…

...The Apple Store on Fifth Avenue in NYC.

No, I’m serious.  Really. 

The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reports that the glass Cube Apple erected earlier this year on New York’s tony Fifth Ave, dubbed Apple Mecca by many of the Mac faithful, is offensive to Muslims due to the Cube’s resemblance to the Ka’bah (aka The House of Abraham). The report goes on to say that there’s a genuine belief that the design of the store was specifically meant to provoke Muslims and cites other contributing insults such Apple housing “bars” that sell alcoholic beverages within the Cube structure and it being open 24/7.

The Apple Store.

The “Ka’bah”.

Well, sure, the resemblance is obvious.  They’re both cubes, and we all know the Muslims have the patent on all things cube-shaped.    I can’t imagine a more blatant insult to Islam. 

I think the Muslims might want to actually VISIT an Apple Store and check out the little fact that the Genius Bars dispense not alcohol but information, but hey, when has truth ever been a factor in what sets off our friends in the Religion of Peace Pieces? 

Muslims, grow up.  Not everything is about you.
