Important Update: American Eagle Outfitters apologize to the Hindu community for flip-flops with Lord Ganesh and withdraw the product, but Lord Ganesha going \"Nuts\" on American Eagle Outfitters Bags is still being sold in the market. Partial victory, but protest continues. (http://www.hindunet.org/ahad/americaneagle/). AHAD requests the Hindu community to call and register their protest against American Eagle Outfitters.

Thanks, Vinod for sending us the petition. I just signed my protest in and emailed the required forms to my family and friends\'. Let me see if I can add anything else during the day. I would actually expect all the decent people from all the religions to sign in this petition, not just the Hindus !

The West always has this morbid desire to make fun of other religions. Not long ago, figures of Hindu gods were used on toilet seats. And in England, they printed the Hindu gods on jeans. And the reason - Hindu Gods are colorful (sic). One thing we have noticed is, most of the times, unfortunately, it is the protests which makes these things popular and makes their sales go high. Such perverse actions cannot harm a religion which has such ancient history and is one of the oldest and still going strong. I don\'t agree with the suggestion of putting Jesus on Sandals. That\'s no solution. Tomorrow, someother company would put some religious figures on condoms or sanitary napkins! An eye for an eye or a tooth for tooth are good only in passionate speeches but they are like two edged swords which cuts both the ways. And moreover, the West will neither be offended nor would care if we put Jesus on the Sandals. In fact, they already have Jesus and Mary printed on thongs and G-strings! So, what is the solution - Just Ignore, though it might sound spine-less and unpalatable.
