It was supposed to go to Palestinian Baby Boomer,, not Bomber
" The Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington, D.C., called the letter "racially insensitive." "
The fact that CAIR is involved makes me doubt that the event even happened.
But isn't that an honor in Islamic culture?
ROFLMAO
Did he apply?
The TV news last night showed the mail. Of course I guess CAIR could have forged it.
Hey, Pali: a lot of Jewish widows, widowers (I'm one) and orphans are saddened and devastated too. For far more terrible reason than your self-absorbed self.
"The Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington, D.C., called the letter "racially insensitive." In a letter sent to Chase, the Muslim civil liberties group asked for an investigation and a formal apology."
- Had this guy actually been a bomber, CAIR would have called him a martyr. Ironic isn't it?
LaChania Govan's August cable bill was addressed to "Bitch Dog."
Why does anyone care what CAIR thinks? Aren't they just another watchdog group? What are they going to do declare a boycott? It's not like hardcore Islamics make up a sizable econonomic block in the U.S.
wasn't chase one of the companies that "lost" everyones information...
Waiting for the lawsuit ....waiting ... waiting...
"I told them, 'I'm not Mr. Bomber, I'm Mr. Jihadist! Mr. Bomber lives two houses down from me.'"
This story was posted before and it still makes me laugh because it is so absurd.
"Hello, Mr. Bomber?" Yeesh!
Was this in-house or outsourced?
I tend to glance through articles, but this is the first I've seen of CAIR's involvement.
Did CAIR go to him or did he go to CAIR? Maybe CAIR got wind of the story and is trying to *ahem* hijack it. Mr. Habbas did serve, apparently honorably, in our U.S. Army.
You'd think that the following would be enough:
"Although no Chase employee was involved in creating this information, we are embarrassed by this incident and regret that our automatic screening procedures did not catch this erroneous information."
It's stupid, embarassing, unfortunate and unintentional, but methinks a federal case is about to be made of it.
Ah, what's new.
Do you think a man who has lived in this country for 51 years and served in the US army has anything to do with suicide bombings in Israel? And I guess you weren't offended by the waiter who identified the couple at his table as the "Jew couple".

Man upset at credit card offer addressed to 'Palestinian Bomber
Thank you and mmm. Okay. Any sympathy gone.
"Habbas said that several days after calling the phone number on the letter, he called it again, this time with a friend who is a lawyer on the line. He then did the same with lawyers from the American Civil Liberties Union and CAIR on the line. In each case after supplying his postal and the invitation code he was addressed as "Mr. Palestinian Bomber."
CAIR, a Washington, D.C.-based civil rights group, called on JPMorgan Chase to investigate the letter, provide Habbas with a written apology, and clarify the company's policy on ethnic and religious sensitivity."
ACLU and CAIR both, hm? Nope, now he annoys me even more than the stupidity of the corp.
He called an attorney friend, who hooked him up with other anti-American attorney friends. Now they're pushing, shoving and tripping over eachother to make an issue of this (and millions of dollars) and further their agendas.
Once the ACLU and CAIR are brought into anything, there's another agenda at work.
