If it's written backwards, it means the opposite. So this is quite halal.
Disgraceful

لا مُحَمَّد لا مكة I’m only an Arabic beginner, but this is pretty much how you write “no mohammed, no mekka”.
The post is a bit farfetched, one might even call it bullshit.

You mean someone would go on the internet and just tell lies?
Say it ain’t so.
Also, any “proof” that is presented as an edited image is clearly disingenuous from the beginning.

If you listen to princes of the universe by queen backwards it says “did you really just do that, wow you’re so gullible” and quite frankly this has made it my favourite track to listen to.

When you play Weird Al’s Nature Trail to Hell backwards, you hear, “Satan eats Cheez Whiz.”

Lol, I speak Arabic as a native language, and I know damn well that you translated incorrectly.
It’s not “لا”, it’s “لِ”, which means “for”, “to”, or “of”, as in “for/to/of Mohammed”.
So yeah, it’s not as bad as you think.

CocaCola spent billions of dollars on their logo to make it a puzzle and just to have someone solve this mystery-like logo? These posts are always bs. Feels like a post from Facebook. I am also a muslim, but I will not stop buying a drink because some random guy from facebook heavily adjusted the logo to make it seem something offensive.

You see if I take this word and then literally change the letters contained within it becomes a new word!

“Oh friends we got trouble. Right here in River City. That starts with ‘T’ which rhymes with ‘P’ and that stands for ‘Pool’.”

Long shot but I could see this being a sneaky ad targeting the same type of person who buys clothing with “infidel” written in Arabic and goes around explaining that to anyone who will listen. Bonus points if they totally would’ve joined the military during the GWOT era but didn’t want to end up punching a drill instructor/sergeant/whatever the taxi service and chair force have.
Billy Badass and friends give a bump in sales so they can find opportunities to spread the “knowledge”, people think about the product more than they otherwise would due to controversy and if the response is overwhelmingly negative, the company doesn’t even have to play the damage control game since their fingerprints aren’t anywhere on it.
Not saying I think this is the case but it’d make for an interesting leaked memo.

oh thats an old one , even when it spread around 5th graders over 15 years ago we thought it was farfetched bullshit

Yeah, I’m really sure that’s what they were thinking when they designed their logo.

Seems like a whole lot of work to trick Muslims into drinking something they were drinking anyway…
cloaker@kbin.social 2 years ago
It's convincing Muslims to not drink it.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Yeah, I get that. But why?

I am a Sunni imam, this is fake. Coke is haram because it has lard in it.

Water written backwards spells retaw. If you adjust it a little it says retard. Are you gonna take being called a retard by water? Ban water today and stop the insults!
SomethingBurger@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Coca Cola actually called someone a retard once.
Miqo@lemmy.world 2 years ago
That’s horrible, but what are the chances of that happening? I’m not saying I don’t believe the story, but those are just wild odds!
skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl 2 years ago
That explains how it happened but… what kind of contest is this? Gotta collect all the French words?
