MUSLIM MERCHANTS BOYCOTT NEW YORK POST

Muslim and Arab-American merchants in the New York City area report to CAIR they are boycotting sales of the New York Post because of that newspaper's alleged anti-Muslim, anti-Arab bias and the failure of editors to offer sufficient right-of-reply to negative articles.

Boycott organizers say almost 500 merchants are taking part in the campaign by refusing to sell the Post in their newsstands, grocery stories or other businesses. In Staten Island alone, some 100 merchants have joined the boycott.

The campaign apparently began spontaneously, but is now coordinated by a Brooklyn-based organization called the Arab-American Muslim Federation.

Representatives of the group recently met with Post officials, but could not resolve their differences.

Non-moderate Muslims spitting in the wind...

[Eric in the Ozarks]

What are they doing here, in a country & society they don't like ?

[Stultis]

Ping!

Wasn't sure how to bump this to the New Yawkers'. Y'all wanna avoid doing business in stores that are not carrying The Post.

[Travis McGee]

When a "moderate muslim" smiles at you, he is looking at your uncut infidel throat and thinking of Danny Pearl.

Hyphen "-" Americans are not free people, by their own hyphen; it's the shackle with which they enslave themselves to their prefix.

[Dog Gone]

What this will do is cause people who normally buy the Post at those places to go somewhere else instead.

These morons have created a boycott of themselves.

Counter-Boycott organizers push for customers refusing to buy anything from their newsstands, grocery stories or other businesses.

Did Yogi tell you this?

I feel like the AFLAC duck :)

[RobFromGa]

Isn't this a form of profiling?

[MinuteGal]

The operational red flag here is the NUMBER of merchants participating in this boycott. Wait till the gas stations, doughnut shops, cleaners, Seven-Elevens, motels and other service stores start picking up on the idea. Diversity is such a good thing for the stability and cohesiveness of a country, yeah!

And we thought FREEPERS were everywhere!

This will just make it easier to pick out the Islamic fanatics in our midst---if they don't sell the Post, they don't deserve the business of any non-Moslem.

Capitalism and freedom is beautiful. Put the protesting dirt bags out of business.

Stupid. I go to your store and I ask if you have the Post, You indicate you will not carry it, so I buy nothing else, go across the street and purchase it there.
You never see me again.

The boycott should not last long

[McGavin999]

Well, this is a good way to identify those Muslims who value their old country above America. So folks, if you go into a store run by Muslims and they DON'T carry the Post, you will know to take your business elsewhere. They've self-identified.

BUMP

[07055]

The only boycott that would get the attention of the Post would be an *advertising* boycott. But, I doubt these dirtbags buy any advertising in the Post, so that is a non-starter.

[Texas Mom]

My mom always used the phrase. " Cutting off your nose to spite your face." I think it fits here..

[putupon]

Infidels should boycott Mohammadan merchants whether they sell the Post or not.

[Ukiapah Heep]

I'll be happy to join any anti-boycott. Sign me up for two subscriptions. Andrea Peyser's column alone is worth it!

All I needed to know I learned from Yogi. ;-)

Yogi Rules!
