Please stop harrasing those who like our 'Gods." RE: Please stop using Hindu God's immages on your products (filp folps)

10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">It is time for the more intolerant Hindus

stop punishing any one who should become interested and intrigued by Hinduism and

begin utinlzing our fashions, personalities, etc. Rather

then condemning, we should appreciate the opportunity to pleasantly educate

them. I see this intolerance with high profile people and companies while the

simple things such as sellers placing ‘our Gods’ on the streets to

sell their posters is not corrected. This intolerance is held by a very very

small minority while the vast majority are quite

pleased to see our ‘Gods’ gradually taking their place in our

culture.

the religious sentiment of the Hindu community and therefore we have decided to

remove them from our sales floor.

Please stop using Hindu

God's immages on your products (filp folps)

 

 

Dear people,

 

It is a shame

that your company delibretely choose images of Hindu god's to be shown on your

new products(new flip flops), how can you be so unsympethitic to the sentiments

of 1 billion Hindus worldwide 1/6 of humanity, the whole world is watching

your companies unethical act.

 

Immediately

remove the images of Hindu gods and show respect to the oldest religion on

earth, and issue an unconditional apology for your acts.
