"apologized to the Islamic community for any unintentional offense to their sensibilities";

"implemented a global recall" of certain samples;

"diverted shipments of the commercial products in question from ‘sensitive' markets";

"discontinued all models with the offending logo";

"implemented organizational changes to their design department to tighten scrutiny of logo design";

promised to work with CAIR "to identify Muslim design resources for future reference";

took "measures to raise their internal understanding of Islamic issues";

donated $50,000 for a playground at an Islamic school;

recalled about 38,000 shoes and had the offending logo sanded off.

So much for dhimmitude. At this rate i am afraid i have to get 'approval' from CAIR for everything i use on a day to day basis lest i offend the followers of 'The religion of peace' into being provoked into beheading me.
