Is This Logo Racist?

The question is: Is the logo, on the right, racist? Some people in Iran think that it is. They are encouraging all Muslim states to boycott the London 2012 Olympics.

Because of the logo?

In case you don't see it, some say that it "spells"" Zion. This bothers the Iranians, a lot.(...)
When I look at the logo, I see...and this is a stretch ..."2012 London Olympics"  or "ZOI? London Olympics" or "ZOIR London Olympics"

It is a stupid logo.  It looks like it was damaged by an earthquake.

Stupid, yes!  Racist?  Nope.  Racist would be.....refusing to allow your athletes to compete against a particular country.  Racist would also be when your leader calls for the destruction of another race of people.

If you think that this logo is racist, then you are dumber that we thought.
