‘Muslim’ and ‘Islam’ banned, but ‘Al Qaeda’ and ‘KKK’ OK in Nike’s guidelines for custom sneakers

‘A New Yorker has filed an angry complaint to Nike, saying the footwear giant forbid him from putting the words “Muslim” nor “Islam” on its customizable sneakers, while allowing such words like “KKK,” “Daesh,” and “Al Qaeda.”

In a letter on his Facebook page, 40-year-old Nabeel Kaukab wrote to the company, saying that the word “Muslim” does not fit into any of the categories of banned words for NikeiD.

“As I was experimenting with different words to customize my shoes, I noticed that for Nike, neither Islam nor Muslim ‘fit within our guidelines.’ Based on your guidelines, I have to ask what category of banned words do you consider Islam & Muslim to fall under? Profanity? Inappropriate slang? Insulting or discriminatory content? Content construed to incite violence?”’
