Minn. Islamic group wants investigation into fast-food toys (CAIR is outraged over Bible quote)
kstp.com ^ | December 19, 2008

Posted on 12/19/2008 7:44:03 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY

The Minnesota chapter of the Council on America-Islamic Relations is calling for an investigation into a complaint made against the Long John Silver's restaurant in Mall of America.

CAIR-MN wants the restaurants parent company, Yum! Brands, to look into claims that religious literature was distributed with a children's meal.

According to CAIR-MN, a Muslim family visited the restaurant in November and ordered a children's meal for their three-year-old son. The toy that came with the meal was a notepad that featured a quote from the Bible. The family requested an alternative toy, but said only notepads with Bible versus were available.

CAIR-MN wants Yum! Brands to review their toy distribution policy.

Besides Long John Silver's, Yum! Brands owns KFC Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and A&W All-American Food.

It's the GOVERNMENT that is not supposed to impose a state-sponsored religion.

McDonald's is not the government.

And for that matter, Muslims are told to read the Bible in the Quran.

If they move backed to their flea infested, sand overrun camel loving homeland, they wouldn’t have to worry about such things.

Glad to hear there is a place we can go eat and not be bothered with islam’o-fascists.

It’s Long John Silvers for lunch tomorrow!

Has anybody considered possibly secession? I mean, would our pussy government really wage another war of aggression against a section of the country that wanted to peacefully secede and form a more traditional country?

Well I checked and saw that malted barley is used for a batter at LJS, which is fermented and thus contains alcohol. Whoops, not to mention they serve malted vinegar there as well.

They have convinced the majority of Americans that Islam is a legitimate religion instead of socio-political theocracy trying to take over the world.

OK, they could print toys with quotes from the Koran. Would that make everyone happy?

QURAN QUOTES AGAINST INFIDELS
[These quotes draw heavily on references (1) and (2), below.]

2:191, And slay them wherever ye catch them.

4:84, Then fight in Allah’s cause.

4:141, And never will Allah grant to the unbelievers a way (to triumph) over the believers.

5:33, The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter.

8:12, I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.

8:17, It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah.

8:60, Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.

8:65, O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers.

9:5, But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem.

9:14, Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers,

9:23, O ye who believe! take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity above Faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong.

9:28, O ye who believe! Truly the Pagans are unclean; so let them not, after this year of theirs, approach the Sacred Mosque.

9:29, Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Well, what to do about CAIR? See , we need to go after thm , just like we need to go after politicians. On eat a time in masses , at their offices , in the papers. We need lawyers, writers , speakers and activist who , on a daily basis , harass and hound these people , take them to court, educate the public about them . we need to look at the Marsist playbook and do to them what they just did to us. We need numbers and we need people willing to get off their asses, take chances and get out and fight before it’s too late. THE MINORITY IS RULING THE MAJORITY RIGHT NOW and we are just sitting here .

I think these folks come to the U.S. with a chip the size of Hawaii on their shoulder, just waiting for someone to breathe incorrectly in their presence.

If they don’t like it here, they should get on down the road and quit stinkin’ up the place.

Here’s something else that occurs to me. CAIR used to be a Washington based organization. Now it seems to have offices in the oddest places. These folks sure know how to network as if they own the place.

You beat me to it. This is a private business. They can do what they want. They are not bound by the so-called separation of church and state, not bound by any legal interpretations of the constitution in that area. On what basis can they file any complaints or take legal action against a private business???????

Minnesota is the testing ground for Islamofascist tactics against the U.s.

Nothing else can explain the explosion of complaints and lawsuits coming out of that state.

And then it might get Al Franken.

On its website (Yum.com) Yum! Brands notes that diversity is “their way of life” and that the company strives for “inclusion and engagement.”

CAIR-MN is asking Yum! Brands to:

1. Investigate the incident.

2. Offer the Muslim family a formal written apology.

3. Review the toy distribution policy for all restaurants and ensure that such incidents are not repeated.

4. Participate in CAIR’s sensitivity and diversity training.

The restaurant chain has not responded to a November 17 letter from the Islamic civil rights and advocacy group.

I think about this from time to time and ultimately it’s not the answer. Think of liberals ruining public schools, so normal people either home-school or private school.

How’s THAT worked out for us so far?

Not too good. Sure, OUR kids get a better education, but meanwhile WE still pay for failed godless liberal NEA run disasters, AND our kids pay dearly for the results and product from these socialization centers, all of society does.

Ultimately we have to take our WHOLE country back. Besides, they don’t deserve ANY of this country for their own. They’re the entire reason it’s crumbling!

If that’s not feasible, it’s simple really...lay siege to every major population center.

If you look at the red/blue maps, the blue shows up like a menacing disease...like splotches of cancer...in a vast sea oif healthy red, it’s the diseased high population centers...major cities. 90%+ of the land mass is firmly red/conservative. We fully surround them.

They could be choked off. Like Berlin circa 1949 only they’re too stupid to know what to do, and they still have to procure goods, food & fuel even if they did have the airports/planes.

WHAT WAS THE "BIBLE QUOTE"??? No one says.

Was it "love thy neighbor"? I can see how that might offend Muslims.

Btw, what was a Muslim family doing eating at a non-Halal restaurant anyway?

However, Minnesota Muslims have no problem with Somali cab drivers at the Minneapolis airport denying the civil rights of the blind with service dogs or discriminating against non Muslims in state funded schools. The Muslims are indignant about even the slightest thing that might offend their religion, but are totally intolerant of anyone else’s beliefs.
