Dr RJP, Profits trump courage
Reader comment on item: Nike and 9/11
in response to reader comment: You CAN recognize radical Muslims by their skin: it tends to be very thin-skinned.
Submitted by Infidel (Canada), Sep 13, 2006 at 02:22
There are probably 1.8 billion Muslims in this world and at most 15 million Jews. If you were Nike and concerned about sales, who would you suck up to? Sales and profits trump courage and truth, at least for the time being.
