There is nothing wrong with protesting this and registering one’s objection to it. Behind all such protests, however, is the reality of jihad violence. Many Western companies have acceded to these demands and given the protesters what they wanted not because they were worried about boycotts or declining sales, but because of the genuine possibility that if the demands were rejected, violence could follow. But all who point out the dangers of a belief system that considers violence holy and blessed in certain contexts are vilified and dismissed as “Islamophobic.”

Kanye West has been slammed for ‘making a mockery’ of Islam after naming his new £180 trainers after the Islamic angels of judgement and death.
The Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Israfil is already being stocked by Adidas, while the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Asriel is expected to be released next month.
Social media users have taken aim at the former artist and sports company, accusing them of making an ‘extremely hurtful insult’ for the naming which they ‘must make amends for’….
Social media users are calling for the shoes names to be immediately changed, an apology, and for Adidas to review how it names footwear.
One enraged shopper criticised the trainer’s [sic] on Twitter, writing: ‘Angels, are considered to be blessed creatures of God in Islam as well as other religious.
‘For Adidas to associate what Muslims believe as being such blessed creatures with shoes is an extremely, hurtful insult which they must take amends for.
‘It is not acceptable to make a mockery out of the beliefs of others. Even if it were to be a mistake, it would be considered extremely heedless to allow such a blunder.’
A second added: ‘Horrible name choice for a shoe. Israfil is one of the four archangels in Islam. Adidas – you should have done your homework. Not too late to fix this.’
And a third said: ‘(Israfil) is an angel held in high regard in the Islamic faith and we as Muslims demand you change the name.
‘It is highly offensive to the status of this mighty angel.’
Another user added: ‘Enjoy the backlash and outrage huns @kanyewest @theyeezymafia @Adidas. This is disgraceful. Shame on you.
Israfil is one of four archangels in Islam. He is usually depicted with a horn, which he will blow on Qiyamah – or the day of judgement.
Asriel is Islam’s archangel of death, and is said to transport the souls of the deceased after they have passed on….
