Austria's Turkish community calling the LEGO Company raciest over Star Wars set.

Austria's Turkish community is calling Jabba the Hut a "terrorist", not just because of the way he and his monastery supposedly "depicts racial prejudice and vulgar insinuations against Asians and Orientals as people with criminal personalities", but because a LEGO set look too much like Istanbul's Hagia Sophia mosque, and is demanding an apology from the LEGO company.. I can sort of understand the movie scenes being raciest (not really at all), but this is just a laugh. Whatever, you decide.
