In interviews widely reported in the mainstream media last week, links between the men thought to behind the London bomb attacks and the Coca-cola company were exposed....
Every week, 22-year-old Shahzad Tanweer joined friends for games of soccer and his beloved cricket. Now he is suspected of being one of the London sucide bombers.
Tanweer, whos Pakistani-born father owns a fish-and-chips shop, lived all his life in the city's Beeston area. A devoted athlete, he studied sports science at Leeds Metropolitan University and apparently planned to get involved in sports professionally.
He showed up twice a week for pickup soccer games, said a teammate who gave his name only as Saj.
"He was normal. We used to drink Coke and Fanta together," revealed Saj in an inoccent statement which would have far reaching implications!
The Press Association reported that Shahzad Tanweer's uncle said the family was "left shattered" and in disbelief. "It wasn't him. It must have been forces behind him."
"It was total shock, I mean, it's unbelievable," Ahmed told reporters.
Chairman of Leeds Grand Mosque, Zaher Birawi, condemned the news and told the BBC that he feared possible reprisals. The Muslim safety forum has received reports of more than 400 attacks around the country including a fire bomb attack on a Mosque in Liverpool. Surprisingly there have yet to be any reports about attacks on Coca-cola vending machines or retailers.
"I feel angry", said Birawi. "There is no evidence, no indications that such wrong understanding is distributed within the community".
Why such a shock? Well, since the invasion of Afganistan the world's biggest soft drinks manufacturer has been targeted by Muslim campaigners because of its economic ties with Israel and because the imperialist 'war on terror' has made all American brands a focus for resentment in the Muslim world.
Further more, no self-respecting Muslim fundementalist extremist sucide bomber would be seen dead with a drink that sports an anti islamic logo (see
http://www.mashi.com/columnists/editorscorner/2000/editor-may-00.htm and then http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/islam.asp).
In 2003, the Muslim community began to root out the evil of killer-cola by launching competitors such as Mecca-cola and Qibla Cola, which by coincidence, shares same name as jihadi terror group in South Africa (see http://www.nzmuslim.net/article252.html or for a laugh http://beautifulatrocities.com/archives/2005/06/the_explosive_t_1.html). Sporting slogans like "Don't drink stupid, drink committed" the Islamic 'real thing' makes last weeks relevations about the link between the alleged bombers and Coca-Cola even more shocking.
The news may be no surprise to those aware of the connection between the murder of union leaders in Columbia ( http://www.colombiasolidarity.org.uk/cocacolacampaign.html http://www.thenewagenda.org/cvc_rally/transcripts/mark.html) or cases of chemical poisoning in India ( http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/FB24Df04.html and http://www.inminds.co.uk/boycott-news-0422.html) and the biggest soft drink company. However, the news may be a considerable shock to those who did not know that Fanta was the drink of the Nazis!
