Lego accused of racism for Jabba the Hutt palace

Lego accused of racism for Jabba the Hutt palace. The Turkish Cultural Community of Austria claims the Lego palace was based on the Hagia Sophia mosque in Istanbul. Since the two buildings really don’t look alike and “Muslim” is not a race, it’s an odd claim. Also, notice how the Turks fail to mention that Hagia Sophia was originally a Christian basilica before it was stolen and converted.

  • Perhaps the Sheetheads would be happier if Leggo produced the Islamic Compound and Predator Drone set. Then they could feel right at home.

  • The left taught Islamics grievance politics in exchange for oil money for their pet projects. Book it.

  • I'm offended that they offended my love of Legos. Also, I need that new set to complete my Tatooine.

  • Haha, see this in the story?

    “It is clear that the ugly figure of Jabba and the whole scene smacks of racial prejudice and vulgar insinuations against Asians and Orientals as people with deceitful and criminal personalities.”

    Yeah well, if the foo shits, you know.

  • Muslims would bitch if their ice cream was cold...Nothing makes them happy, in fact they are the most unhappy people on the planet, kinda like a dark side Disney land.."The Unhappiest Place on Earth"....

  • Infidels! So, now we are going to be told that Obe Wan Kenobe is an evil depiction of allah? or that yoda is prophet mohammed in most unpleasant light and george lucas has had a fatwa issued against him?

    I get it-demonize all infidels, yada, yada, yada,.....and the news folks repeat this islamofascist petulance why?
