Iran is threatening to boycott of the 2012 London Olympics because it claims the official logo for the games resembles the word "Zion," which is a biblical term for Jerusalem.

Bahram Afsharzadeh, the secretary-general of Iran's National Olympic Committee, says he sent a letter to IOC president Jacques Rogge in which he condemns the logo as "racist" and calls upon other Muslim countries to join in protest.

The logo was unveiled four years ago to mass criticism, almost all of which had to do with the awkward, bulky design and not pro-Zionist conspiracy

All I see is someone kneeling down to blow someone else..

If you try hard enough, you can see anything in random geometric shapes... The human mind is amazing.

There's Muslims in my local town who complain that my dad doesn't accept Dinars in Britain.

Apparently that makes him racist.

your joking right? ComedyCentral removed everything and beep'd out nearly a whole episode just to keep the muslims happy they gave in more than we do.

If they dont like it they should GTFO out of our country

it's like everyday people get more and more bitchy over things that don't make any sense

it's as if they're like small children who want to see how much they can get away with before the parents start to say no

and i'm not talking about muslims im just talking about *** in general

Seriously, if butthurt muslims were news, CNN would never sleep. I'm so sick of this ***, they either need to give us a reason to wipe them out, or just get the *** over their pedophile prophet.

I don't think they're really that upset. It's more like testing the waters to see how far they can push before someone pushes back.

I'm sure Obama is already writing an apology for them as we speak.
