#1 One could be forgiven for assuming that Muslims were whiny little bitches.

#2 keeps Princess Leia in chains for use as his personal slave.

They find the building objectionable, not ownership of people or depiction of sexual objectification? Or the garrotting of slugs with chains by breeding females of another species?

#3 Of course, the Hagia Sophia used to be a Christian church, back in the day.

#5 Furious Muslim critics complained that the Lego set's Asian and oriental figures were "deceitful and criminal" characters

Apparently not so concerned with the 'slug-like' character depictions being equated with them. Those were correct.

#6 Can no longer find the article, but LEGO did not "pull" the toy b-cuz of Muzzie complaints, but due to normal product rotation.... The CAIR perspective, however, makes for better vapor fodder....
