| Nike did remove them from sales, that's why they are rare! I'm no fan of Nike,but theyalso did negotiate with CAIR and agreed to pay money to build an Islamic center, they also helped CAIR with the Faith in Action program. kind of ironic a shoe named after a greek god, isn't it? |

| [slm] [quote]kind of ironic a shoe named after a greek god, isn't it?[/quote] Wow, i never knew this! I was just reading in my husband's marketing book about the nike company. It mentioned that Nike was the greek goddess of victory and the nike swoosh is suppose to represent her wing! La ilah ila Allah! Perhaps we shouldnt buy nikes? |

| salaams, a lil more on that nike thing and the goodess stuff. It was said when they came to deliver a message bare foot, they came in peace, but if they came with their shoes on, it meant war. |

| Going through a number of 'fwds' that have flooded my mailbox over the past week, I came across this in a list of questions & answers and remembering this thread thought I should share it. [quote]> Q: Is it permissible to wear anything - clothing, shoes, etc. having the Nike logo on it? > > A: Nike is a winged goddess of victory. According to Greek mythology, Nike sat at the side of Zeus, the ruler of the Olympian Pantheon of Mount Olympus. The Nike 'swoosh' embodies the spirit of the winged goddess who inspired the most courageous of warriors. ('What U Wear'; Madrasah Arabia Islamia, Azaadville) > > One should refrain from purchasing - selling and wearing - any clothing having the Nike sign or emblem on it as that leads to promoting a form of Shirk (partnership with Allah).
