A Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reports that Apple’s flagship retail store on 5th Avenue in midtown Manhattan (between 58th and 59th) is offensive to Muslims.
Actually, the news reports updates that MEMRI is merely citing an Islamic website. You might be wondering what they might be pissed off at now. Read on..
Because the building resembles the Ka’ba in Mecca (pictured below), is
called “Apple Mecca,” (by whom?), is open 24 hours a day like the
Ka’ba, and “contains bars selling alcoholic beverages” [source].
Ok. All cube-shaped buildings are now banned. But I must say, the similarity is striking. Check out the images; I bet you would be out protesting too.

It is a hoax. No one was offended: read about the Apple Muslim hoax.
