Speaking on Egypt's Al-Nas TV in January, the grey-bearded imam issued a call for Arabs to boycott Starbucks, which operates a total of 280 coffee shops in nine Arab states, including Egypt."We want Starbucks to be shut down throughout the Arab world," declared Higazi.
Why? Because the Starbucks logo a long-maned naked mermaid wearing a crown vaguely resembles a Jewish Queen, revered by Jews for her cunning and reviled by Arabs for her trickery.
"The girl in the Starbucks logo is Queen Esther," insists Higazi. "This queen is Queen of the Jews." and "This is the crown of the Kingdom of Persia. This girl you see is Esther, Queen of the Jews in Persia."
The cleric's four-minute explanation is available on YouTube, summarizes the Old Testament story of Esther, a beautiful virgin who is manipulated by her cousin Mordecai to win the heart and hand of the Persian king Ahasuerus (also known as Xerxes I) without revealing to him that she is a Jew.
"Can you believe that in Mecca, Medina, Cairo, Damascus, Kuwait and all over the Islamic world hangs the picture of beautiful Queen Esther with a crown on her head and we buy her products?" says Higazi. "It is inconceivable."
Higazi cautions his viewers not to ransack Starbucks coffee shops or burn them down, but he exhorted everyone to boycott the offending premises.
"This is totally inaccurate," say Starbucks management. "This myth has been brought about by the similarity in looks on the cover of a children's book about Esther to the Starbucks logo." The figure in its trademark is actually taken from a 16th century Norse woodcut.
However this isn't the only ammunition against Starbucks. CEO Howard Schultz happens to be a Jew... and a 2006 hoax letter in which Schultz supposedly admits to bankrolling the Jewish state with hundreds of millions of dollars annually.Starbucks does not even operate in Israel. Starbucks closed its six Tel Aviv coffee shops in 2003 due to unfavourable market conditions.
In January 2009 demonstrators in London England trashed two Starbucks coffee shops due to a rumour that the company provided two weeks' worth of revenues to fund January's bloody invasion of Gaza by Israeli forces – another rumour the company denies.
Other companies face obstacles in the Middle East. More than 120 familiar corporate brands (including Sara Lee, Nestlé, Marks & Spencer, Coca-Cola and Ralph Lauren) are also listed as targets by the international Boycott Israel campaign.
All these companies are accused of supporting Israel in one way or another.
NOTE: Frankly you'd think people could come up with a better excuse for boycotting Starbucks... ie. American imperialism, paying peanuts to third world countries who produce the coffee, paying only lip service to their workers' rights and environmental issues. Basing the boycott on a lame myth and a logo? Pfff.
