Further fanning the flames of International controversy is conservative t shirt maker, MetroSpy.
(PRWEB) February 8, 2006 -- To see the latest creation from conservative t-shirt maker MetroSpy some would think the Muslim world had every right to be upset. MetroSpy's new t-shirts depict an unflattering caricature of the prophet Mohammed with a bomb on his head.
The controversial cartoon, which first ran in European newspapers, has outraged Muslims around the world because Islamic tradition forbids a graphic depiction of the Prophet Mohammed.
Many in the U.S however, are angered by the violence being displayed by extreme Islamic protesters -- torching buildings, desecrating flags and in some cases even killing people. Annoyed by the violent images broadcast from the Middle East, MetroSpy decided to sell t shirts with the controversial caricature emblazoned across the front.
“We can't let the terrorists win. We can not encourage this uncivilized behavior by caving in to their wishes,” said Nate Thomas, product manager for MetroSpy
On their website (http://www.shopmetrospy.com/), MetroSpy denounces the tactics of Islamic extremists and encourages its customers to stand up against terrorism. "Failing to print these images mean the terrorists have won", the site says.
“We wanted a simple way to exercise our freedom of speech and to stand up to the terrorists. This design was perfect,” said Thomas.
So far, the Mohammed t-shirt has become their best selling item of the year -- more than 120 orders the first day it became available.
Critics of the Mohammed t-shirts say this is a perfect example of why Americans are hated around the world. Finding humor in the desecration of another's religious symbol, even if you disagree, is just plain wrong.
Despite the critics, MetroSpy intends to keep selling the Mohammed cartoon t-shirts.

Whoever says they would seriously walk around with that on is a fucking moron

My dress sense is way too cool to wear that but I seriously wouldn't have any fear of possible retaliation from it.
If, however, this was on a t shirt I would have to consider:

You wouldn't do shit. No one believes your tough guy routine.

ok ppl are overreacting to this shit a little bit. its a black tee with a simple black and white image, which just so happeens to be a prophet with a bomb in his turban. u wouldnt be so butthurt if it didnt reflect on your poor diplomacy skills of today ie suicide bombing. and really it doesnt look that bad, plus its part of a bigger issue and it lets ppl know ur not stuck in the pussy ass pc mindframe. why not rock it?

this is a common fallacy of the typical WCC poster...a subarban bred generally white person as far removed from struggle as possible. Now they assume that every other poster on here is like that. No sucker, the joys of the internet have spread far beyond the confines of ur lil world.
as for banananans, listen man, people can rock whatever they wanna rock, and i can lump a random cat wearing that shirt with a rock too if i catch em.

You're a joke man, and all of your posts are lame.
