No ‘swooshing’: ISIS reportedly bans Nike because it sounds like ‘sex’ in Arabic

[SlyPokerDog]

Islamic State has banned Nike apparel because the brand’s name sounds like the term for sexual intercourse in Arabic. Militants have reportedly been ordered to get rid of smutty-sounding sportswear.

The Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) headquarters in Raqqa issued what claims to be a leaflet warning jihadists against using any Nike products. The punishments for both seller and buyer of Nike goods range from a small fine to imprisonment or whipping.

Jeans have also been strictly banned in the IS as the clothing “provokes sexual desire, and shows the attractions of a man's body,” with a prison term promised for those violating the order.

So it's back to sheets. burkas and sandals..this is going to mess with their basketball team. I'd assume any apparell with goat logos would be considered sexually provocative as well. Dodge trucks?

If I were Nike, I would come up with an entire advertising campaign based on this ISIS management decision.

I find women in sheets more attractive than jeans and tennis shoes
