No Christian Music or Christmas Carols in Shopping Mall

American Family Association ^ | 10/26/2916 | AFA

[Maudeen]

The University Town Center Mall in Sarasota, Florida, has issued a very specific directive:

"For choral groups, the Mall prefers no clearly recognizable Christian music, such as carols sung in English, spirituals or gospel."

In a memo sent out to area groups who are normally invited to perform seasonal music, the upscale shopping mall leaders have in effect banned any music that could be recognized as "Christian." . . . . . . .

[Zionist Conspirator]

No spirituals???

I thought Black chrstians didn't count!

[Sans-Culotte]

I certainly would not feel guilty about doing all my Christmas shopping online after that pronouncement.

[PAR35]

I mentioned Muslim.

So you are suggesting a tie between the Muzzies and the Jewish ownership of the mall?

And the key point isn't your irrelevant injection of Muslims, but the fact that Christmas music apparently is fine as long as it isn't in English. Despite being in south Florida, I doubt they have many wealthy French speaking Haitian customers. And while they probably have some Portuguese speaking Brazilians, most of the target customers are going to be Spanish speaking.

There’s going to be a HUGE loss of revenue because of this. it makes no sense from a marketing perspective. Maybe it might make sense from an anti-capitalst, socialist, destroy the economy point of view. It’s incredibly stupid IMO. Of course the left never makes sense anyway.

And Muslims can’t sing, so shoppers should avoid this joyless mall this Christmas season. Let’s see how much they make from atheists.

[Joe Brower]

Well, as if we didn't already know we have enough brainwashed liberals living here, here's one that's close to my area.

Just another salvo in the ongoing culture wars -- no, we sure wouldn't want to have Christian music at CHRISTmastime!

Maybe the Muslim call to prayer would be more to their liking.

Let them stick their malls up their ass. No Christmas music; I won’t shop there. I stopped going to Target when they did away with the Salvation Army bell ringers. I don’t have to go to their malls.

[FrankR]

Nope!

I’m “suggesting” that this is AMERICA, and no matter the mall ownership, or the neighbor hood, we have freedom of religion, and we speak English.

If they want to play their game, we should play ours, just don’t shop there.

Now, several have popped up a response questioning my opinion, I’ve given you all my opinion. None of you have the ability to change my opinion. If you don’t get the point I’m making, maybe some supplemental “reading comprehension” classes are in order...IN ENGLISH.

This is my last word on the subject.

[Joe Brower]

Heh. This place opened up just a year or so ago. I have yet to set foot in it. Nothing there of interest to me; they don’t sell the things I buy.

If God has mercy on our souls and guides Mr. Trump to the Presidency, he is going to have to Drain the Swamp ALL OVER AMERICA.

That is very sad to hear! My father's parents owned an orange grove outside of Sarasota. As a young man, he hitchhiked from there to Bristol, TN, to attend King College in preparation to go to Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond, VA. He became a Presbyterian minster and served various churches in NC for over 30 years. His first church was in Crossnore which is Avery County in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. A DAR School is located there and has been operating continuously since 1913. The school was founded by the famous Dr. Mary Martin Sloop and her husband whose story is told in the book Miracle in the Hills. Crossnore is where he met my mother who had gone to Junior College in Statesville, NC, where Mary Martin also went to school. My mother ended up moving to Crossnore to work as an OJT nurse for Dr. Sloop. She met my father and they were married four months later. I came along MUCH later in 1950. I miss both my parents so much, but I am sometimes glad that they did not live to see what has become of what was founded as a Christian nation!

None of you have the ability to change my opinion.

That's called 'blissful ignorance'. Or perhaps just being a blockhead.

[TalBlack]

No Christmas songs no shop there.

[Osage Orange]

That's a good song....

She is very talented.

I hope she finds peace.

[FrankR]

I was trying to be tactful, but you don’t seem to comprehend that either, so, to hell with PC, and kiss my a$$.

[PAR35]

If you think you were being tactful in post 88, you ARE blissfully ignorant.

[Zeneta]

I agree, she is an extraordinary talent.

I bought her first 4 CD’s and loved every song.

Then she dropped off the map for 3 or 4 years only to re-emerge as a self-proclaimed lesbian. Disappointment is an understatement to say the least.

I still enjoy watching regular folks doing Jennifer Knapp cover songs on youtube.

It’s raw and I love it.

[US_MilitaryRules]

Why go shopping at that mall?

[TiGuy22]

Stores should remain open, no time off since it’s not a holiday to recognize...

[GOPJ]

Why the hell do these mall owners think the stores are filled in December? To celebrate ‘liberal elite day’?
