The religion of peace, as described by both President George W. Bush and President Barack H. Obama, has issued a religious edit (fatwa) declaring that owning a Chevrolet produced by General Motors is forbidden (haram).
Now I used to own a Corvette but gave it up. I still yearn for that car to this day. Now I can agree that General Motors is in need of serious fixing and we tax payers have bailed it out to our disadvantage. I understand that the Chevrolet Volt is dangerous and its batteries tend to explode. However, I draw the line at allowing shariah Islam to dictate my spending habits. But wait, isn’t that what President Obama and progressives want to do? They want us to buy the right car, eat the right foods, use only Energy Star appliances and live in “sustainable communities”.
So when shariah Islam declares owning a Chevrolet (because the emblem looks like a cross) we must obey, right?
According to Jihad Watch:
Ford just got a big boost in the Salafist market. "Egyptian Sheikh: Driving a Chevy is Haram," by Angie Nasser for Now Lebanon, January 24:
"And I think to myself, what a wonderful world..."
A Salafi sheikh in Egypt has reportedly issued a fatwa that buying [or driving] a Chevrolet vehicle is haram because the American brand’s logo looks like the Christian cross.
In the video below, prominent Egyptian TV presenter Amr Adeeb takes the sheikh’s joke-of-a-fatwa to task, saying, “We’ve reached a really strange place with this.”
“The car’s been around [for a century] and only now did you notice there’s a cross on the car?”
Adeeb also notes that the car is not used or presented as a form of religious iconography: “Do we hold mass for it? Do we pray for it?” And his guest chimes in with a comment about the self-centered nature of the fatwa itself: “As if the people who came up with the logo were thinking that we want to put this special logo on the car just to piss us [Muslims] off?”
The TV presenter concludes, “With all of the problems in Egypt, you’re concerned about the cross?. . .We’re calling for unity [in the country] and then you come up with [fatwas] like this?”
By the way, there’s actually a few theories going around about the symbolism behind the Chevrolet logo. One common story is that General Motors co-founder William C. Durant copied the design off some wallpaper he saw in a Parisian Hotel. But historian Ken Kaufmann says the logo is actually based on iconography used by the Southern Compressed Coal Company ad for its “Coalettes” logo....
Years of observation of footage suggest Toyota pickups still have the jihadist market cornered. The duplicitous Muslim Brotherhood, for its part, might prefer "Dodge."
I own a Ford Focus. That is the safer care to drive according to the religion of peace. I await the Super Bowl ad from Ford touting it is blessed by Allah. What a hoot!

Comment by Jim Coles on January 27, 2012 at 10:31am Cyrus...excellent point, sir!
The average Muslim knows nothing beyond his neighborhood, his mosque or his village...the governments that dominate them lies to the people with every word...every minute of every day from birth through death...and those governments are not moved by BHO's rhetoric and attempts to cuddle-up to them...
BHO is both a destructive genius and an idiot...but in the end, all of his efforts shall fail so long as there people like you and many of the others here...people who know and care enough to stand up...
Well done, sir.

Comment by Cyrus J. Mallinson on January 27, 2012 at 10:20am Shows how much "Goodwill" has been earned in the Muslim world by Barack Obama's extra efforts.
Comment by Charles H. Sims on January 27, 2012 at 10:14am The religious war continues (since ~632) our government just won't acknowledge it.
Comment by Mike NQR on January 27, 2012 at 10:03am What does agenda 21 have to do with this article, Debbie? Check it out on Wikipedia or Google. It's too lengthy to get into here and has nothing to do with the subject at hand.
Comment by Larry Cumbie on January 27, 2012 at 10:01am So................what's next, "forbidden" becomes a fatwa to assassinate all Chevy owners? Who are these people and who let them out of their caves?
This is so true. What is agenda 21?
