Nike has recently teamed up with US celebrity rapper Lil Nas X to produce 666 pairs of what they have called ‘Satan’s Shoes’ and aim to release in the UK this week. The shoes are reported to contain in the air bubble 60cc of red ink and a drop of human blood, Baphomet Star and the symbolic numbers 666. While Satanists have the right to display and glorify who they worship, they don’t have the right to disrespect the Holy Bible by printing verses of the bible on the shoes or depicting Jesus Christ on their packaging. Their freedom of expression and belief ends where the disregard and disrespect of 31,479,876 Christians and 2,660,116 Muslims in the UK begins.

For years brands, media and celebrities have been getting away with the disrespect, mockery and slander of Jesus Christ (PBA) and the Holy Bible. Regardless if many believe in him or not, there are altogether 4.289 billion Muslim’s and Christians in the world that do. They have the right to demand that their figures be protected, and their beliefs respected. While many legislations have been put in place to protect sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender equality and freedom of religious belief, there has yet to be a law or legislation that protects believers of these faiths against these continuous violations.

This petition aims to voice these people’s emotions of offence, hurt and disapproval of such disrespect. There is a demand that a legislation and law put in place that considers it a public and legal offence to disrespect religious figures of all faiths the same way it was made a public and criminal offence to display sexism, racism, homophobia or bigotry. There are enough people in London that find this particular product to be an attack on what they consider to be the heart, core and centre of their belief system. We petition the ban of these products/trainers in the UK and the holding of Nike accountable publicly and officially for the disrespect of these UK citizens.
