Shrewd Mind @ Work

I received this email "LEGO HINA NABI MUHAMMAD" a few days ago, from a friend of mine. The email has been forwarded to quite a number of people before it reached my mailbox.

I was totally dismayed and disappointed to see the product, that i am without the slightest doubt that this product would cause another chaotic situation and probaly another unnecessary bloodshed, given the fact that the world is just "cooling down" from the last fiasco over the caricature of prophet Muhammad.

After looking 'deeper' at the picture of the product, i found it difficult to fathom why LEGO would produce such product that would destroy their corporate image, thus i take the liberty to shoot an email to LEGO Company just to double check the authenticity of the picture.

and guess what? the picture is a FAKE!

Below are the my email to LEGO and the response from LEGO:


My email to LEGO COMPANY:

I received email with picture saying that LEGO recently launch a product depicting prophet Mohammed with the caption "Play as if you are Prophet Mohamed. Contains 23 wives including 6 year old Ayesha". Please confirm whether the product really exist?

Respond from LEGO:

Dear Mr Abdul Malek, The picture you have seen is most definitely not a picture of a LEGO product. It is a computer manipulated image, without any association to a physical product of any kind. Unfortunately, we do not know the source of the picture, but we have seen it appear on different web sites on the internet a number of times this year. We have obviously investigated various ways to stop circulation of this picture on the Internet, and since civil actions does not seem be an effective tool in this respect, we have decided that our best option is to work with the Danish police. We certainly hope that circulation of this picture will be stopped, sooner rather than later. You can also check our company statement on this issue following the link:

I strongly believe that this is a deliberate effort to engulf the Muslims into unnecessary cloud of confusion and hatred. So.. I beg to everyone, please forward this information to everyone that had received the fake email so that hopefully it will reach the imposter/traitor/ whose heart is full of malicious intent to not allow the world to become a better place.. for everyone regardless their religion or race...

I attached the picture with here and also the text that comes together with the picture as a
reference.

The Fake Email

Kawan-kawan sekelian, Ini lah satu-satu contoh e-mail yang seharusnya kita ' on the spot ' forward kat kat saudara-saudara se muslim kita. Ia nya tidak mengandungi unsur-unsur fitnah untuk menjatuhkan sebarang individu atau sesuatu organasasi. Kita semuanya sudah maklum betapa kerasnya permusuhan kerajaan Denmark terhadap Islam. Khasnya dalam kontek memperlekehkan junjungan besar Nabi Muhammad SAW, seorang manusia yang termulia, di beri kitab termulia, dalam bahasa termulia, di tanah termulia di muka bumi. Benarlah Kalamullah " wa lan tar dha ankal yahudu wa laan nasaara hatta tattabia millahum " !!!STOP BUYING LEGO PRODUCT!!! Allahu Akbar!!!!! Takbir! Takbir! Takbir!!!!! Assalamualaikum, refer to the latest lego collection recently launched in denmark , i wish we could start thinking about that. Please inform our malaysian muslim to stop buying and boycott all lego products. Ya Allah ! Selamatkanlah Umat Islam di seluruh dunia ini. Betulkan niat dalam melakukan sesuatu kerana Allah S.W.T
