Please note, not all people who practice Islam are violent terrorists.
These people's extreme overreaction to something as benign as a Pampers design is ludicrous, but is it any more ludicrous than the crusades of so called "moral decency", Right-Wing, Western, Christian Fundamentalist groups led against everything from Judas Priest for supposed subliminal messages, KISS for inciting teens towards worshipping the devil and Dungeons and Dragons for supposedly leading youths astray and getting them to join satanic cults back in the 70's and 80's.
Still, I feel sorry for those babies who won't get the benefit of those diapers because some moron squinted a bit too hard at a cartoon cat and saw the prophet's name there.
I think the take away from something like this should be that religion, in general, sometimes makes people see and do nutty things. I am not bashing any religion in particular, I think belief in God and practicing religion have their upsides, but you gotta admit, people do some silly stuff in the name of faith.
This would have been more understandable if they were burning the diapers in protest of Western values, but yeah, I doubt the prints and patterns on Pampers across the globe have anything to do with Mohammed, both literally and figuratively.
Overall, a bizarre story, one of the strangest cases of Pareidolia I've ever heard of in recent years. For those who don't know, Pareidolia is the correct term for that phenomenon wherein some people think they've seen Christ's face on a pancake, although this might not be the best term for this particular brand of phenomenon... The more you know!
