We want to put forth this petition and ask Icon Shoes to stop using any Buddhist images or any religion's deity pictures on any of your design which would bring disgrace to the respective religion.
In Buddhism, the Lord Buddha is revered everything and we are disheartened to see such demeaning and humiliation act by Icon Shoes.
This would bring disharmony among the practitioners and believers. This is a anti-Buddhist act and a disrespect to the views and beliefs of millions of followers around the world.
PLEASE STOP USING ANY BUDDHIST DEITY IMAGES ON ANY OF YOUR DESIGN AND PULL-OFF ANY EXISTING PRODUCTS WITH BUDDHIST IMAGES!!!

I am currently reaching out directly to the management at Icon Shoes to demand an immediate end to these offensive designs. Email their customer service department today and tell them that commodifying religious symbols for profit is unacceptable. We need to keep the pressure on them until these products are removed from every shelf.

The momentum behind this campaign is undeniable and it sends a clear message to Icon Shoes that our sacred symbols are not for profit. Post this petition on your Facebook wall today so we can keep the pressure on them until they remove these offensive products from their shelves.

The language notwithstanding, the use of any religious icon on clothing and footwear is insulting to followers of that religion and inappropriate. Greed and profit should not override respect and propriety. Kindly discontinue using Buddhist (and other) iconography on your shoes.
