If you don't want to do business with people who demand that Sharia law is used in private binding arbitration, then don't do business with those people. That would be just like people who don't wish to do business with Hasidic Jews who demand similar private arbitration contract clauses using Jewish Law rather than Sharia Law

Now explain why refusing to do business with people in an open forum (i.e. of business) doesn't expose you to civil liabilities for "antisemitism" or "hydrophobia" or some other b.s. charge, under the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

You don't have the right to "refuse service to anyone" any more.

And there he is, your customer, with a copy of the Sunna in his hand, all ready to do Sharia-compliant business with you. You're going to refuse, just because he's black/gay/Moslem/Jewish? You'll pay his lawyer damages, then.

Tell me that won't happen.

And stop being so obnoxious.

Yes, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 says that you can't refuse service to someone based on race or religion. That is NOT the same thing as being obligated to contract with someone who demands a private arbitration clause be placed in a business contract.

"And there he is, your customer, with a copy of the Sunna in his hand, all ready to do Sharia-compliant business with you."

Everyday in America, cars dealers refuse offers on new and used cars from blacks, Latinos, Jews, Muzzies and any other protected class you can think of. Believe me, they're not getting sued because they've refused those sales offers. The Civil Rights Act didn't foreclose businessmen from conducting business to include the negotiation of contracts, and the right to refuse those contracts.
