Best Buy sponsors CAIR!
Islamist Watch ^ | April 17, 2012 | Marc J. Fink

Posted on 04/19/2012 5:47:32 PM PDT by Partysnobz

Think again before buying your next flat-screen television or computing device from Best Buy.

The struggling retail giant recently used profits from American consumers to fund the annual banquet of a group closely linked to Hamas. The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) recently listed Best Buy as a "Platinum Sponsor." Best Buy has refused to rule out future support for CAIR through numerous messages to its public relations department. The big box retailer is already in chaos amid the recent resignation of its CEO for personal misconduct, dwindling sales and bond downgrades.


TOPICS: Business/Economy; Culture/Society; US: Minnesota
KEYWORDS: bestbuy; cair
Utterly outrageous, yes. But outrage is not enough. Action is required. The Goal is a commitment from Best Buy to never again use profits from American consumers to finance Islamic radicals.

Here is how you can make a difference:

If you don't like the idea of your consumer electronics, software and appliance dollars going to fund groups aligned with Hamas and pledged to turning America into a Sharia-compliant, Islamic state, write and/or call Best Buy and let them know. Best Buy Public Relations Department: 612-292-NEWS (6397) or NewsCenter@bestbuy.com. Susan Busch, Director of Public Relations: susan.busch@bestbuy.com. Lisa Hawks, Deputy Director of Public Relations: lisa.hawks@bestbuy.com

Yep, another nail in it’s coffin. I haven’t shopped at Best Buy in years, it’s fading away.....

Thanks for the heads-up.

Our son intended to go to Best Buy tomorrow to buy a new computer but I just changed his opinion. I have always been happy with the service I get from Amazon.

Any agency that endorses CAIR will lose my business immediately.

Minnesota - it figures. It’s where the business culture includes appeasement of parasites and those hostile to civil values. This will turn the Twin Cities into Detroit.
I no longer live in that state, and do not care to set foot there again.

I know the jest of this article, but at least BB used their own money to do this, not our own tax dollars like Obama does. Profits from American consumers? This sounds like occupy talk.

Well, I really liked Best Buy...until this.

Thanks for the heads up. Now, they will not be getting anymore of my business.

Ok...Now on my list along with Home Depot (even switched from #20 to #48) & Olive Garden...

Together they've managed to cover a substantial part of the spectrum of western civilization's enemies...

Don’t recall. I did buy a external HD from them last Dec.One good thing is I had it set up then realized a better one went on sale, I asked them if they would at least lower the price. They said no so i returned it and took the money and upgraded and got a few bucks back.
That was the last time I bought from them and will be the last time now.
