An important issue..

Aslamalaikum! I was just wondering that we all being muslims totally oppose the Jewish criminal and cruel acts in Palestine.. But did we ever think that we support the Jewish ppl in some way or the other…I recently got the chance to read a brochure about different household accessories which ppl daily buy… The sales of PEPSI and COCA COLA are at the peak… I am not sure whether this is true or not but PEPSI stands for Pay Each Penny Save Israel…And we all enjoy buying Pepsi and drinking it…I recieved an email long time ago which said that if we read COCA COLA backwards it forms an arabic phrase meaning no Mohd (pbuh) and something else against Islam… It has also been heard that in some foods we eat animal fat is a major ingredient… Pork fat is used to enhance tastes of certain foods and drinks.. and we being Muslims are prohibted to eat Pork meat… It was also stated in that brochure that the ppl in Pakistan usually prefer buying imported goods because of the quality..but in that way they are benefiting the Non-Muslim businesses..If instead they buy local goods the economy of Pakistan can further be improved… This sure is a point to ponder…

:sleep2:

:wsalam:

its an old issue, plus i think the jews have attained the economic supremacy with their own effort and hard work. if muslims want to go ahead, they’ll have to earn it, they shouldnt wait for a messiah to come and lead them. although this one calls for some severe criticism (and is a little off topic), but i think jews’ long-term strategy (by hook or by crook) got them control over palestine and i am pretty sure they can still sell enough pepsi and coke even if muslims boycott it.

instead of stopping ourselves from buying their products, we should work to make them buy our stuff.

just my two cents.

…its not Jews who are selling the coke and pepsi or any other products.. its Israel… and its not ALL israelis… theres a minute percentage..

when the MUSLIMS were criticised for 9/11, we all reacted.. some of us condemned the ‘terrorists’ involved… we said not ALL muslims do this.. we didnt all get together at some annual meeting and arrange the attacks did we now? so how can one say that all Jews are to blame for the coke and pepsi and putting lard into our food.. they are humans too.. they breathe the same air we all do… and not every jews main aim is to harm a muslim.. or to poison our food..

its our own decision to stop drinknig coke for health reasons.. not cus ‘Jews’ manufacture it… cus they dont… im sure that the Coke industry around the world does not only employ jews.. im sure there are hundreds and thousands of muslims working there… maybe we should stone them…?? maybe we should stop going to Maccers.. maybe we should stop using products with the fear a Jew may have touched it… maybe… we should just stop breathing as a Jew is breathing into the air…

puhllleeeez :mad:

That is an outright lie.

Pepsi was founded long before Israel and did not invest at all in Israel until 1992, when the Arab League declared it would no longer boycott companies that invested in Israel following the start of the peace process.

Coca-Cola and Pepsi initially avoided investing in Israel, because until 1991 the Arab league banned companies that invested in Israel from trading in the Arab world.

US Jewish groups threatened Coca-Cola with legal action and a boycott over this policy in the 1960s and faced with a court case, Coca-Cola caved in and invested in Israel. It was promptly banned from most arab countries until 1991.

Pepsi had no involvement at all with Israel until 1992 - it instead dominated the soft-drinks market in the Arab world, there being a complete lack of competition from Coca-Cola. In 1992, following the lifting of Arab sanctions against companies investing in Israel, Pepsi began operations in Israel.

It fared pretty badly. Pepsi's initial advertising campaign in Israel, referring to Evolution, angered the rabbis, and its sponsoring of a Michael Jackson tour to Israel lin 1993 led to complaints that Pepse was corrupting the morals of Jewish youth. Pepsi was even briefly stripped of its kosher certificate following the Michael Jackson fiasco.

^ but still they do invest in the jews. i don't know about how many invest in Israel, but i wouldn't be surprised if alot of them did, cuz they r fishy people to me. the thing is they stick together(which is not a bad thing) but it says that they participate in each others activities, even if it includes funding Israel. thats why on 9/11, i think out of all the tons of jews who worked in WTC only about two or three were there that day. could be a coinsidence, but then so could be the fact that there were 20 arabs on the planes that got hijacked, which i think is all fake crap ne ways, but don't even get me started on that subject plz. ne ways those same people who boycott pepsi and all that crap should stop living in America right away, cuz tons of their tax money goes guess where? thast right, the innocent dead muslim child's friendly neighbor, Israeal.

This would have made sense, were it not for the fact that Coca-Cola and Pepsi are neither founded by, owned by, or managed by, Jews.

In fact, several billion dollars of the aid the US gives to Israel is explicitly military - i.e Israel is not allowed to do anything with that money other than buy weapons and train its soldiers.

^ So if any of you are perturbed by this, then leave the US. Do the right thing. I will stand behind your decision. If you live in England, leave there as well, they are pretty much American poodles. Come on...stand up for what you believe in. Like Nike says..."Just do it"
