Its not ignorance bro, its true, i don't want to fund the oppressor and i am not talking about coca cola alone, every big company's money goes to israel, to fund its infrastructure, economy and military. Especially since the last few years.

I only consume milk, water and maybe self-made orange juice but thats it. I am also talking about GMO foods, but thats another subject.

We know what those zions want and that is a NWO with Jerusalem as its capital.

Okay, let me ask you a question. Since Zionists are not actual Jews and are zionists (kabbalists) and the city Jerusalem is one of the significant places to Muslims, Christians and Jews, why do they want to make Jerusalem the capital city?

But there is also coka cola factories, which exist in muslim lands. They money will mainly benefit muslim countries, except a small amount for the "label" that goes to original company. The amount that go to the original company is sometimes very small, compared with the money that goes to muslim companies and help in the employement of millions of muslims and families. In that case it's not haram, and boycotting coka cola will not affect israel, but will affect the business of these muslim companies that live on it.

Personally I don't drink coka cola, not because it's haram or it's harmful for your body or for the ummah, but because I hate that product.
 
Sorry bro...

and now for some history:

Israel and the Middle East controversies

In 1949, Coca-Cola attempted to open a plant in Israel but was refused a permit. Eager to avoid the [Arab League] boycott and sell to the much larger Arab market, Coca-Cola was content not to sell in Israel. In 1961 the issue came up again when an Egyptian civil servant mistook Amharic writing on a Coca-Cola bottle for Hebrew, and accused Coca-Cola of doing business with Israel. The manager of Egypt's Coca-Cola bottling operations quickly informed the press that Coca-Cola would never do business with Israel; forced to explain this, Coca-Cola officials explained that Israel was too small a market for a Coca-Cola operation.

The issue arose again on April 1, 1966 when Moshe Bronstein, a Tel Aviv businessman, accused Coca-Cola of boycotting Israel to appease its Arab market. The Anti-Defamation League took up this cause in the United States, and questions were raised about Coca-Cola's previous explanation for not operating in Israel: If Coca-Cola could have an operation in Cyprus, whose market was one-tenth the size of Israel's, why then was Israel too small for a Coca-Cola operation? Pressure on Coca-Cola grew, and faced with potential American boycotts, Coca-Cola promised to open a bottling plant inTel Aviv. In response, the Arab League boycotted Coca-Cola from August 1968 to May 1991, as part of the economic boycott of Israel.[SUP][67]

Along with McDonald's, Coca-Cola has become an international symbol of American culture, and especially of American consumerism. While the company still enjoys widespread popularity, some backlash has occurred, mostly in the form of boycotts in the Middle East. One such instance in 2000 saw a claim that the Coca-Cola label, created in 1886, actually contained hidden anti-Islamic phrases "[SUP][68][/SUP][SUP][69][/SUP]) in its mirror image in Arabic. The Coca-Cola Company claimed sales dropped 10 to 15% in Egypt after the rumor began spreading in 2000. The controversy became so widespread that the Grand Mufti of Egypt — who has proudly admitted in related interviews that he himself indulges in at least one Coke daily — publicly addressed it, declaring that the logo "does not injure Islam or Muslims."[SUP][68]
[/SUP]
In Autumn 2002, a French Tunisian, Tawfiq Mathlouthi, launched a new brand of cola drink, dubbed Mecca-Cola, to protest American foreign policy in the Middle East. Mecca Cola was marketed as a way to combat "America's imperialism … by providing a substitute for American goods and increasing the blockade of countries boycotting American goods."[SUP][70][/SUP] By 2004, Mecca-Cola fizzled: in France, its biggest market, sales dropped about 10%.[SUP][71]

Maybe there are no tricks... but then I'm sure some Muslims would say that having no tricks is actually their biggest trick :O

Well, yes. Coca Cola is the worlds most popular product ... Ofcourse the Arab elite want it in their countries. In 1993, it cost 1 SR to buy a can of coke in KSA... today, it is still 1 SR for a can of coke.

They want you to buy it too. I used to buy orange juice for 3 SR instead... much more refreshing.

Rip off!!! LOL.

I remember a friend of mine (Asif) was a coca cola addict. After iftar time, he'd go and grab 7 cans for 7 SR lol. The next two hours he'd be hyper, then during tarawih prayers, he'd just lose all energy and go back to the hortel. Sugar rush down, all 35 grams X 3 or 4 cans of it... imagine that. He consumed between 140 - 175 grams of sugar in coca cola in a space of just 2 hours... FACEPALM MAAAAN.

That stuff is poison.

Amitabh Bachchan - the most famous actor on the planet, got banned from drinking coke or pepsi (2 cans a day) after his stomach operation. He was warned that it could kill him.

I don´t think they could ever managed to sell it to muslim countries if it really would be more than one more rumour.

^o)
 
^^^^ if the picture is correct, 8 oz Alcohol + 2.5 gallons of water in 1 bottle. I can't do the numbers now, but I think if , let's say, 0.25 L of Alcohol makes you drunk (not sure of the exact amount, may be more), then you need near to 10 L of Coke to reach this amount of Alcohol, in a reasonable (not so long) period of time, which is impossible, because the stomach is limited. That's one of the reasons why some scholars said that it's permissible to consume a drink that contains a very negligible amount of alcohol. But I'm with avoiding such drinks.

It seems the math is accurate:

uk gallon = 4.54609188 litres per gallon
us gallon = 3.7854118 litres per gallon

8 oz of alcohol won't do much in 10 to 15 litres of sugar water (the article mentions 2.5gallons/ approx 10-15 litres dependant on whether it is USA or UK calculations they used)... but, anything that is haram in large quantities, is haram in small quantities too, right?

the serious part:

they clearly say it doesn't contain it:

the funny part.

A disappointed salesman of Coca-Cola returned from his assignment to Saudi Arabia.
A friend asked, "Why weren't you successful with the Saudis?"
The salesman explained, "When I got posted, I was very confident that I would make a good sales pitch.

But I had a problem. I didn't know how to speak Arabic. So I planned to convey the message through three posters.
cocacolasalesmaninsaudiarabia1-1.jpg

First poster : A man lying in the hot desert sand totally exhausted and fainting.
Second poster : The man is drinking Coca-Cola.
Third poster : Our man is now totally refreshed.
And then these posters were pasted all over the place.
"Terrific! That should have worked!" said the friend.
"The hell it should have!" said the salesman.
"No one told me they read from right to left!"
