SAKANDAL IN GERMANY

For your information: The Eichbaum Beer Brewery (BRD) is now distributing bottle caps with the Islamic creed for drunk football fans!!! The company “Eichbaum” (Käfertaler Str. 170, 68167 Mannheim) argues in this regard: “Saudi Arabia” is taking part in the 2018 World Cup and that is why the flag of “Saudi Arabia” (which contains the Shahadah) is printed on the bottle caps of the beer bottles – see photo. Our comment: This is disgusting and blasphemous!!! [Faked News]

Is it a fake?

No. It's not a fake.

As part of a marketing campaign for the 2018 World Cup, a Mannheim brewery printed beer bottles with flags of this year's World Cup participants. Among other things, with the flag of Saudi Arabia - and therefore with the creed of Islam.

Shortly afterwards, the company received many angry reactions from outraged people who found the action “disrespectful and offensive”.

Eichbaum then wrote a letter of apology and posted it on Facebook on May 9, 2018. But even this measure did not calm the rush. According to T-Online , a man of Turkish origin from Ludwigshafen started the wave with his Facebook posting.

The company decided to stop further production of the country corks. In addition, all current pallets in stores are examined and affected bottles are sorted out. On the advice of the police or the responsible state security agency, the company prevented further possible insults and removed the original post.

Here is the current statement from the brewery:
