ORIGINAL: Kirata Lego to Cease Production of the Popular "Jabba's Palace" Toy Set [image]http://cbshartford.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/lego.jpg[/image] Muslim groups in Austria claimed "Jabba’s Palace" was anti-Muslim as it showed popular "Star Wars" character Jabba the Hut in a mosque-like lair with a hookah, guns and an imprisoned Chewbacca. "This sort of thing does not belong in a child’s bedroom," Melissa Gunes, spokeswoman for Austria’s Turkish Cultural Association, told The Independent. "The game is pedagogical dynamite. It depicts Muslims as terrorists." RT News reports that Muslim critics felt "Jabba’s Palace" looked like the Hagia Sophia and the Jami al-Kabir mosques. Lego claims that the criticism has nothing to do with its decision, saying that the product was planned from the beginning to be in their assortment of Star Wars products only until the end of 2013. Nevertheless, they have cancelled their production run after only three months and issued a statement expressing their regrets. K. I've always wondered why no one ever set up a coffee stand called "Java, the Hut". Knowing how porn movies are its probably already been used as a porn movie title.
