    Re: Malaysia firm's 'Muslim car' plan

    I don't see why someone would find it particulally objectionable, as its mearly poking fun at something that is when you think about it rather bizzare.

    the bigger travisty is surely that the blowing up of the car would go nothing like that...

    Its called market forces. Supply and demand.

    If someone is stupid enough to buy something like that then why should they not be taken advantage of.

    Is it explosion proof or can land mines blow it up?
    I think they should call it a 'Mus-Mobile'!

    Seriously though...what a load of bolex. There will be Muslim only parking spaces next.
    Even the muslims must agree this is going way out of control.

    hmm...that is a weird example about muslim parking...proton is just targeting a group of people thinking it will win them sales (like prada phones, ipod cars, muslim cars, etc) - but it is a bloody proton..!

    The point being is that what if a car company decide to make cars that were targeted at 'Christians'?
    Marches
    Protests
    Headline News
    Bombings probably

    The point being is that they are catered for EVERYWHERE. As soon as someone stands up and says anything slightly anti they are branded racist and targetted for whatever they do.

    Obviously you have never heard of people catering for christians by selling them "christian fish" to stick on their cars...(no matter how weird that sounds to non-christians)

    To me this proton campaign is nothing to do with muslim rights - it is purely to win sales anyway they can since they are a bloody shoody car manufacturer...

    A religion-specific car is nothing new. Who could forget the:

    Quality. I can see the phrase now. "Open the scarf box and pass me the Koran it's got my A-Z in it." I would also expect the Proton to come with a reinforced rear view mirror so even more crap can be dangled from it.

    It's 106 miles to Mecca, we have a full tank of gas, half a packet of halal haribos, it's dark and we're wearing burkas... HIT IT!

    Isn't the compass so that they know which way they have to pray? Not some fancy road trip tool?

    I hope there is some function to hide the compass whilst driving, to ensure that nobody can drive and pray at the same time.

    On a totally unrelated note, do any manufacturers make a car that protects people from sudden knee-jerk reactions?
