Cube Worshippers Offended By Cube

They claim they donâ€™t worship Idols. But replicate their cube and they get all hissy about it.

Mermi:On October 10, 2006, an Islamic website posted a message alerting Muslims to what it claims is a new insult to Islam. According to the message, the cube-shaped building which is being constructed in New York City, on Fifth Avenue between 58th and 59th Streets in midtown Manhattan, is clearly meant to provoke Muslims. The fact that the building resembles the Kaâ€™ba, is called â€œApple Mecca,â€ is intended to be open 24 hours a day like the Kaâ€™ba, and moreover, contains bars selling alcoholic beverages, constitutes a blatant insult to Islam. The message urges Muslims to spread this alert, in hope that â€œMuslims will be able to stop the project.â€

More here from The Register:

Well, it resembles the Muslims' sacred Ka'ba, situated in the Masjid al-Haram mosque in Mecca:
The "Islamic website" claims that since the offending structure is known as the "Apple Mecca", and "contains bars selling alcoholic beverages", it constitutes "a blatant insult to Islam". The site accordingly calls on Muslims to spread the word in the hope that "Muslims will be able to stop the project".

Hat tip : LGF.

The Apple Cube they find offensive.

The actual cube in the center of Mecca that they bow toward.

Update: There is no Cube, but Cube......

...and Rubik is his Prophet.

Might as well make a contest of it. If you've read this far send Howie more cubes.

The Apple cube is my Mecca - far more aesthetically pleasing and I don't have to beat myself to a bloody pulp to get in. When are those maniacs going to fly a plane into their own cube? If only the Repubs had balls we would have put a round peg into that square hole by now.

6 I had a beautiful dream last night...

I was in a room full of arab children that had been rounded up and removed from our public schools. We spent hours beating them until they could barely utter a sound--retribution for 9/11. Then in a glorious triumph for America we cut their throats one by one and filled the room with their subhuman blood.

This is how you win the war on terror Mr President.

Eradicate the arabs and you will have peace.

9 It always amazes me that muslims decry idolatry, but they are the ones who hold up every frickin copy of the Koran as some sort of holy relic, they are the ones who claim every damn rock that Mohammed ever hid behind to take a crap is some holy site, and they themselves criticize other faiths for not being monotheistic enough when they hold Mo up as some divine savior who must never be critized or mocked. I guess I just does get the whole hypocracy thing.

11 Are you generalizing the rantings on some random website for all 1 billion Muslims? If so, that's kinda bigoted and is completely and utterly moronic.

An even more conspicuous coincidence is that the new MacPro found inside was also dropped from the sky by the medeival Arab moon-god.

Am I being overly-suspicious, or has this site recently been subjected to an awful lot of trolling? It must have made some list, somewhere.... As for the cube - shame on us. Shame! I personally believe that us kaffirs should never again erect a cubist building - and we'd best eliminate rectangular, too, just to be sure. Let's pass over the fact that these shapes are the logical choice for a large, utilitarian structure - think of Mohammed(pduh, or whatever), people! From now on, we should only build tetrahedrons.

16 "Q. Whatâ€™s a â€œmoby?â€

A. Someone who is following the advice of techno-pop star Moby to plant items that are likely to alienate Bush supporters"

In other words, it's a breed of troll. A lefty who pretends to be
a nazi on a right wing board, says crazy racist things, and then crawls
back to Kos and writes, "hey look at the racist things those guys at
Jawa Report are saying!"

Hmmmm. So stupid Islamofascists (redundant, I realize) don't like other with cubes, huh? I'd love to see 'em try somethin' about <a href="http://procynic.blogspot.com/2006/10/dont-like-cubes-huh.htmldetailsdetails">these guys</a>.

19 Hm, they think they have a holy right to cubes?

Maybe they'll declare war on the Borg?

Or maybe they ARE the Borg? After all, they don't have a sense of humor and give you the choice of joining them, under their terms or being slaves or they kill you.

Locutus bin Laden?

22 The Ka'aba was a place of worship long before Islam, and is said to have been built by Abraham and Ishmael. So it's pre-Islamic. There's black stone inside that was supposedly found by Abraham and Ishmael, that has some sort of alpha/omega properties. It's probably a meteorite.

I've never been very clear why it's considered the most sacred of all Islamic holy places, since it predates Islam. It would be as if Christians made the Wailing Wall their holiest site. Odd.

You would be right except for the fact that incidents like these are the norm. It's not for nothing islam is known as the religion of perpetual outrage. They should be ridiculed until they lighten up.

I'm happy to have contributed to this site in some way

Excuse me though - I think you misspeled my nickname

28 Mohammad made up that crap about Abraham and Ishmael builing the first temple with that rock. It was just a story so he could co-opt the ancient hebrew eschatology of the father of monotheism and integrate it into his cult.

The rock inside the cube was a meteorite that fell into the desert thousands of years ago, and the ancient Arabs built the city of mecca around it and dedicated the city to Allah - the pagan moon god- who sent the rock from heaven.

Posted by: Jimmy the Dhimmi at October 12, 2006 08:42 AM (RIPcF)

29 That's the kind of spiritual things the liberals like, Jimmy. A little moon rock, meteorites, cubes and falling from heaven. That is soooo cool. And spiritual!

32 Jimmy:

Interesting about the "moon god" pagan worship. I know it was a pagan site before it was a center for Islam, but figured the Abraham story had roots older than Muhammed. Do you have a historical citation or anything?

42 I am astounded at the number of people who are promoting genocide as a solution to Radical Islamic Terrorism. Most Muslims are NOT terrorists and are just as horrified as non-Muslims by these acts. Hitler would be proud of you people.

Posted by: BrainBoy at October 16, 2006 08:48 AM (RD7QR)

43 muslims flipping out over a fucking building design which doesn't even concern them. Stop crying victim all the fucking time. (I don't mean to speak to all muslims, but only those dumbasses who just use it as some kind of excuse to start a ji' fucking 'had in any way possible). New York/UK are christian countries not muslim. If you don't like it go back to your own country. We can't do and change evrything to please you. It's not your country, we can do what we like and if you decide to go flippin' ape shit about it then go blow yourself up or something for crying out loud. Geeze, get real. Fucking islamic extremists. Your like a bunch of neanderthal monkeys prancing around getting all over the place.

44 Are the trembling mooouslimes horrified enough by their brethren's horrific crimes to actually do something about it besides tremble? Like flushing the koran and removing their silly diapers from their heads? ..... I thought not. Don't sympathize with any of the moooscums!
