Okay, i just found this today. My sis has this bottle of "heaven" perfume from gap and the cap of the bottle had this wierd looking design on it. The cap is transparent and when i looked at the design from inside the cap, it clearly read Allah in arabic. i scanned the cap and have it online at http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/284/untitled39.jpg

check it out and tell me what you think about it.

Okay this is what you do...,

1)Put a fuse inside the bottle.

2)Now drill a small hole in the cap.

3)Run the fuse through the cap so it goes into the perfume.

4)Go to the local zoo on sunday, there should be a bunch of jews there because its usally "purchase one get in free day"

5)Claim to be an islamic fundamentalist

and light.

6)Then throw into crowd of jews.

7)Viola! You are now "saved" by islamic standards!

Allah be merciful! Those Jews have done it again, trying to disgrace Allah's name. It's happened before.

In 1997, Nike released a new shoe which had a flame look. It had balls of fire on it. Coincidentally, the fireball said Allah in Arabic. It had a fireball on the back and on the bottom. So technically they are getting Allah's name dirty and people's feet are stepping all over Allah's name. What happened? Muslims boycotted Nike in the middle east. Nike lost 15% profit in total sales. Or so I heard. Nike apologized and withdrew the shoes from the market. Coincidence? Here are pics:

<A HREF="../../isgkc.org/shoe2.jpg">../../isgkc.org/shoe2.jpg" width="90" height="90</A>

Now GAP does it. They put Allah's name in the bottle, so that alcohol whashes over the name. As you might know, alcohol is sinful in Islam and it is a sin for a Muslim to even touch it. What a coincidence, GAP is Jewish!

That is my conspiracy on the subject.

GAP is Jewish?

Are you an utter twat?

You do realise that the people sitting on the board of directors don't design the perfume, but a bunch of artists and designers do.

Are you telling me that all these designers are:

1) Jewish

2) All out to disgrace Allah's name, which is against Judaism.

3) All in on the secret.

It's a bunch of squiggles it could just be coincidence.

And where is the motive? Why would Jews disgrace God's name? Are you proving your ignorance Loc Dogg?

And that's why it was so idiotic to run something like that in a paper. But then again, look where the paper was from. YOu actually have to check each egg after you crack it to make sure there is no blood in it or you have to throw it out.

While we're tossing links.

I ran across this today



http:../../www.anycities.com/jahtruth/celtisr.htm

I found this interesting and this too...

http:../../www.geocities.com/hiberi/index.html http:../../www.britam.org/default.htm

Gaelic peoples call themselves Dan, Dan...

Anyway I don't care if it's true or not, but I find it interesting especially after reciting some Gaelic stuff I found in the basement of my house. The language doesn't really fit into the IE category, lots of guttural ch, and gh.

Yes, but they can also spell allah at the same time with that kind of design. Arabic is right to left, not left to right like the Roman alphabet.

You would have to really want to see the name "Allah" in the flaming "Air" logo to notice the resemblance.Just because the logo is similar to the symbol of Allah,does not indicate that it was intended to be so.

Nike (obviously) sells shoes.They continually have to come up with new designs to get consumers to purchase their products.They have many different designs of shoes within the "Air" product line.Spelling the word "Air" in flames probably seemed like a good marketing idea at the time.

These conspiracy theories are rediculous.

Yes the Gap is owned by Jews and therefore do not shop there . Well then, I'm not even going to comment on that.

But you seem to feel the need to boycott things because they are "Jewish". You want to boycott a clothing store? That's weak. Be a real man and boycott anything Jewish.

Boycott:

The polio vaccine

The Schick Test for Diphtheria

Streptomycin discovered by Waksman

Ernst Boris Chain's part in "the discovery of penicillin and its curative effect in various infectious diseases"

Actually, I asked out of curiosity.

I wouldn't shop at the Gap because it's a silly store and they don't have anything I like and they're far too expensive for the low quality shit they have.

These '10 Tribes' Conspirasy theorists are funny!

Some people will belive anything.

It would help if all of their Celtic history and myth they are quoting wasn't all wrong!

Oh yeah and the Poms arn't celts they are germanics and England is named after the Angles not becuase it is the "corner of the world".

yes, but they're not conspiracy theorists because the don't talk about how Rothschilds, Merovingians, or any other groups run the world, or the conspiracy to rule the world.

I couldn't count how much was wrong on all my fingers and toes, and that's why it's interesting. Especially because it's a Jew doing it all. England's named after the Anglos, I know this, and that's why it's funny. The bulk of English people are Keltic anyway only a few are Anglo-Saxon, 95% percent gentically similar to the Irish. The Ten Tribes theory has been around for a long long time, and it's not going to disappear. DNA not native to Europe found in people in certain regions doesn't help to discredit the argument. Keep a skeptical eye on all things, bring an umbrella when it's sunny.

The linguistic thing is intriguing, the British coat of arms, the "Tuatha de Danaan" name, in addition to the DNA not being all that similar to other Europeans, that could also be from mutation, and evolution. That's about it.

Even though the Ten Lost Tribes argument is highyl dubious, the idea that Kelts came from Scythia or another place beside Europe is widely supported. There are historic accounts of Kelts being in the Greek area and colonies, they served in Alexander's Armies as mercenaries and later created Galatia in what is now Turkey. The language has some semitic, and berber elements.

Keltic Music uses the Pentatonic Scale from Asia. It does sound similar to some non-European music styles.

My question is not whether anyone's of the Ten Lost Tribes but why do they have non-European characteristics in language, and music. Irish legends do say that they came from a far land, and there is evidence of Five different invasions of the island before the Viking Invasion. The Gaelic invasion being from nothern Spain. The similarities between Keltic art, and artwork found in the area that is know scythia including a fondness for spirals, boars, and stags is odd enough.

That's all I have to say.

We are NEVER the scapegoats ? Are you SERIOUS ? What liberal media crap news station have YOU been watching ?

We have been the blame for everything, including the wars, rumors of wars, and even peace, in some cases.

Is the pledge of allegiance not being boycotted because the word God (of a Christian derivative) is included in the prose ?

Is Bush not blamed for the downfalls of this country for the past ten years, though he has only been in office for four of those ten ?

We are blamed for taking the rights away from women that think it is ok to butcher their unborn children. Heaven forbid a woman not be allowed control of her own SIN !

What's wrong with Jews ?

They have been peace loving for decades, and only very recently began to fight back. I don't think they should be held at fault for defending their country.

Do you ?

Or are you the same people that think the bombing of the world trade center was okey dokey, and that we SHOULDN'T have gone after Osama, and his cohorts (of which Saddam can be included) ?!

Peace, not war...war is sometimes necessary.

Why do I think sept. 11 was justified?

People are sick of patronizing American capitalistic neo-imperialism. For the past 50 years the western world, particularly the US, has been running the world into the ground. Simultaneously, we have been hijacking local lives, cultures, religions and resources and sucking the life out of them. What do they get in return? Sweet FA. At best, an increasingly bland, homogenous consmuer culture that destroys community, diversity and opportunities for a meaningful life.

Okay, that was full of normative statements, but you get the idea that not every loves america/the western world. Sept.11 is one of an increasingly global manifestation of anti-western/ anti-US sentiment. The war on terror is not a religious war. Religion is merely the ideology (on all sides). The growing discontent is the result of years of people, communities and nations being walked on and treated as inferior and backwards.

What did the twin-towers represent to the hijackers? American cultural and financial imperialism.

For these reasons I consider Sept.11 to be an act of resistance, and to some degree, justified.

We have been the blame for everything, including the wars, rumors of wars, and even peace, in some cases.

Is the pledge of allegiance not being boycotted because the word God (of a Christian derivative) is included in the prose ?

Is Bush not blamed for the downfalls of this country for the past ten years, though he has only been in office for four of those ten ?

We are blamed for taking the rights away from women that think it is ok to butcher their unborn children. Heaven forbid a woman not be allowed control of her own SIN !

C'mon...reality check.

Being blamed for things you are guilty of doesn't count.

If I hear the words "Liberal Media" being used to degrade someone's arguments once more, I'll kill myself.

EDIT: On the subject of Sep. 11., I believe that the targets were purely symbolic. The World Trade Centre shows disdain for America's economic empire, the Pentagon for it's overgrown military, and the Whitehouse for it's corrupt government.

I don't care why you think it. I'm telling you that there is no justification for attacking civilians in order to make a point. If I kill you because I disagree with your country, do I hurt your family or your country more?

What if those civilians are indirectly (and often unwittingly) the major source of your oppression?

Who is more guilty of attrocities: Pol Pot (for all intents and purposes, a civilian) or his troops?

Inquisitor --

So you think that the pompous, greed-infested mentality of those in the senate, and the electoral college are the same as those that live in this country ?

What about all of the immigrants that don't even speak English, they are so new to this soil ? Do you think they deserved to die, too ?

You truly believe that most of what this country does to the rest of the world is controlled by the "people" ?

You don't know much about our government. (Your government ?)

There is no such thing as a TRUE democracy, and if the people of this country had anything to do with it, there would be no need to bomb major economical hubs for the sake of Allah.

Do I detest the entire country of France simply because their leaders did not decide to assist us in the search for Osama ? Absolutely not, because I am inherantly aware that there are those that did not agree with what happened, and wanted justice as much as Americans did.

It's pretty funny how you clump us all together...that's just ignorant.

By the way, "ROME" WILL FALL AGAIN.

I have no illusions that America will not be here much longer.

Amerikkka will be gone, America will come to be. It's "allusions".

So what you are saying is because Pol Pot told his troops to kill all intellectuals but didn't actually kill any himself Pol Pot is innocent?

There was no reason to attack the WTC full of civilians because there are so many military installations that could and should have been targeted instead.

So you think the men and women that serve in the military want to be over in Iraq, waiting to die for a cause they only somewhat understand ?

I think when they signed up they were willing to lose their life for their country.

That's why they are soldiers.

And put that eyebrow down, I didn't even say that, you did, nothing in my previous post even implied that I agree with those sentiments.
