It’s only fair, since almost every car these days comes with a rosary holder…
 
and a compartment to house the Koran and prayer scarves.

I was wondering if options for the Islamic car might include compartments for explosives. Perhaps only a few would want to swing for that extra expense. 😉

I wonder if such a car would have a decent warrenty, or if you have to pay extra for the extended version.
 
**Guidelines for posting on religious discussions

Members are not allowed to be disrespectful of anyone’s faith or religion, whether it is Catholicism or not**. If a member is disrespectful, he will generally be counseled first and suspended if he persists in disrespectful postings.

If the nature of an initial posting is blatantly disrespectful to any religion (e.g., “the pope is the anti-Christ” or “Rome is the Whore of Babylon” or “Muslims are terrorists”), suspension may be immediate and without prior counseling.

Members are free to discuss, dialogue, question, disagree with, and debate the doctrines and dogmas of both Catholicism and non-Catholic religions. However, all discourse must be civil and charitable.

Guidelines
For both Catholic and non-Catholic posters:
  • It is acceptable to question the doctrine or dogma of another’s faith
  • It is never acceptable to question the sincerity of an individual’s beliefs
  • Bringing up historical controversies peculiar to a particular religion should be done cautiously*
  • It is acceptable to discuss the effect the incident had on current policy or practice.
  • It is acceptable to seek the truth vs. commonly-held beliefs or conventional wisdom about actual events.
  • It is fallacious reasoning to use embarrassing incidents to claim that they “prove” a particular religion is false.
  • Expecting members of any Church to defend or answer for the excesses or extremism of bodies that have broken with it is a technique that has no merit and can’t be defended.
*It is our observation that discussion of such past events rarely serves a useful purpose and inevitably opens a thread to posts that violate forum rules and/or the bounds of civil discourse. So, while such threads may be useful, they raise a red flag for the Moderation staff.
 
I think Proton is a struggling car company which is looking for a gimmick to stay afloat.

If you visit the BBC news story you can see some links which show Proton has been looking for a white knight, possibly Volkswagen, preferably anyone.

The “Muslim car” story will give them a certain amount of PR, but I wonder if it would actually sell many cars. Would you buy a “Catholic car”?

PR ? yes - some - but
Actually the idea of an Islamic car might stem from the sort of thought that I found in the health section of ‘Living Islam Today’ magazine. ifna.net/magazine/health.htm
An Islamic car is about ‘Islamic flavor’.
So in view of all the variables that affect most of our lives in the modern world, I’ve come up with a list of ten easy things that every Muslim family should do so that they can contribute to the betterment of Muslims and the establishment of Islam in the West.

#10 Lastly, make sure you and your family have cultural-type items in your home in abundance that are associated with Islam or Islamic culture. Everyone in your home should have prayer beads, prayer rugs, kufis, Hijabs, (even if they’re worn only for prayer), gowns, posters, wall plaques, stickers, logo-shirts, Islamic screen-savers on the computer, and on and on. You want to establish an identity in your home. Everything outside is totally un-Islamic. At least let the Islamic flavor be present inside.

Would I buy a Catholic car? The only thing that comes to my mind when I hear Catholic car is Pope mobile and there is need for only one of those.

I stand corrected - there are several.
While it is true there is more than one Popemobile they all are there to serve one single Pope at a given time and place as needed. I think it is safe to say that Popemobiles are utility vehicles with a couple specific purposes in mind.
 
Great for them (muslims).
Who really cares if they have a muslim car?

I am sure you could have a Catholic car if you really wanted…
  1. Buy a car
  2. Get it blessed by your Priest.
  3. if you feel compeled hang a rosary off the rear view mirror and one of those fish symbols on the back bumper.
    4.you now have a Catholic Car:)

And the person in the back seat is usually standing up. Oh by the way it usually only goes a couple miles per hour. Not very practical for large families that ned to get someplace fast.😃
 
My Catholic car pauses at all Catholic Churches for the sign of the cross to be done. It has a rosary for each of the passengers and the CD’s are chant and devotional in nature.😃 Oh and lots of space for all the baby equipment and bikes.👍

If they made a Islamic car would there then be a demand for places on the side of the road for prayer sort of like the foot-washes in the universities?

Your car sounds like it has alota’ loving Catholic family flavor. 🙂

Try CatholicCar.com for great Catholic car decals.

Foot baths? - ritual ablutions required before their (Muslim) five-times-a-day prayers? Maybe car washes could add a foot washing feature? Highway tolls in NY are expected to increase by 10% in the next year. Adding a foot bath to rest stops would likely cause tolls to go up even more.😦
That isn’t likely to happen because it appears time after time Muslim associations seem to always pay out of pocket for amenties needed for Muslim worship.
 
Sounds to me as if any car with a GPS system and a glove compartment could qualify as a “Muslim car”. So what’s the big deal?

If you don’t want a “Muslim car”, don’t buy one. Move on.
