ISIS declares war on Nike

24/04/15

Isis terrorists reluctantly declared war on all products made by Nike, the well-known American sportswear company. The jihadists are no longer allowed to wear, as we read in a leaflet distributed in Raqqa, the garments signed by the world famous company.

Both the buyer and the retailer are threatened in the flyer. Depending on the item purchased or sold, the "mustache" sympathizer can risk incarceration from a small fine.

The diatribe between the terrorists, which resulted in the twitter channels controlled by Western agencies, arose after the considerations of some jihadists who put jewels depicting the Christian cross and Western leaders on the same level. Location not shared by everyone.

Supporters of the brand have replied that the "sin" of wearing the Christian cross around their necks is not at all comparable with wearing designer clothes such as those of Nike, made by infidels, but comfortable and of good quality.

The best known example is that of the jihadist commander Abu Waheeb, famous for wearing western sportswear, with a particular propensity towards objects made by Nike and Adidas.

According to ISIS religious theorists, the name "Nike" is reminiscent of an Arabic word of a sexual nature. In the leaflet distributed in Raqqa, all the western brands of ambiguous pronunciation, the relative translation in English and the penalty were inserted.

Isis' "war on Nike" is only the latest in terms of time taken by the organization against Western brands.

A few weeks ago even jeans were strictly banned because "they would cause sexual desire". In short, the terrorists would be too "sexy" with jeans that can only be worn as pajamas.
