Dhimmitude in the Marketplace: Now there's an 'Islamic' cell phone

Topics: Dhimmitude

No, I haven't made this up. The ad appeared as one of Hyscience's "Google Ads." (They change according to the page content)

Advertised as the "World's first and only Islamic Phone," it's a "Mobile Islamic phone that gives you access to your belief wherever you are."

According to their website(URL of "phoneformuslims"),the ilkone i800 is a new brand of Islamic cell phone, conceived in the Middle East. The name 'ilkone' is driven from an Arab word meaning 'universe'.

ilkone utilizes advanced technology to provide total solutions for GSM mobile phones, and which provides greater efficiency, more relevant and personalized services and functions to mobile phone users.

The phones "Islamic Features" include:

The Complete Holy Quran text with English Translation, Aproved by Al-Azhar

Automatic Qibla direction from anywhere in the world

Azan of Mecca, Madina & Cairo Voice,from anywhere in the world,with
prayer alarm before and after Azan

Automatic silence and switching to vibration mode for 40 minutes from Azan

Automatic alarm for Sohour, Imsak and Iftar

Islamic calendar and date conversion

Being an avid supporter of Hyscience advertisers, I just couldn't get this post up fast enough.

And I can understand how the "Automatic silence and switching to vibration mode" feature can be very useful.
