Gun shop owner selling 'Muslim Free Zone' signs in Florida

a reply to: blupblup

The context is that it is a sign made to sell to bigots.

Plain and simple.

Well I get that part obviously... but I don't get the "home" part.
If it said "This street" or "No Muslim callers" or something then it would at least make sense.
Maybe it's a type of sign that's popular in America but makes little sense in the UK?

Hmmm

Maybe I'm asking too much by expecting sense from intolerant, moronic bigots.

This is made for someone to hang on their wall at home, or display on a shelf. That sort of thing.

It's like the little signs that say "This is a Chevy house" and things like that. It is meant to display their preference towards, or dislike of, whatever is on the sign.

In this case, Muslims.

Yeah, that's all very obvious and no one is saying to take away his rights of free speech. I'm pointing out what a bigot he continues to be. Just as he can advertise what a dick he is, I can point out just what a dick he is.

a reply to: blupblup

Actually, it could also be interpreted as: 'The Family living in this home, is not a Muslim family'.

Pretty sure that sums up how most decent people feel. Thread closed.

I think many here are missing the point.

Sure, some guy is selling them. But he wouldn't, if people weren't buying them. People are afraid, whether real or imagined, people are scared. No one is addressing their fears, everyone from politicians to internet heroes are downplaying terrorism threats so people, average people, regular people, react.

This is just a reflection of their concerns.

Why would someone feel compelled to advertise the fact they are not a Muslim family?

Ok, playing devil's advocate, would you care if there was a christian free zone sign? How about a religion free sign? How about an Atheists only sign? What about.... a pastafarian sign?

It's just a sign. Not the end of the world and if we can bash Christians like we do so well since, well, forever, then?

Here, let me be a real devil's advocate. All organized religions suck

inching closer and closer to nazi germany

There's already a 'Christian Free Zone' it's called the Islamic Caliphate .

I'd really like to know your answer to the question I posed earlier.

a reply to: FlySolo

I already stated in my OP I would care, although I didn't use Christian as an example. The real question is, if a Muslim gun shop owner declared his store a Christian free zone and made stupid shirts and signs how would you feel. I doubt he'd okay with it.

The point of this thread is to show how much of a bigot this gun shop owner is and continues to be.

College rivalries are apples compared to hating on a particular religions orange. Maybe you should go back to school to learn some perspective.

a reply to: DBCowboy

This all started when he declared his store was a Muslim free zone and its devolved into this because he does have fellow idiots who share his ideology.

I'm sure he's a huge Trump supporter.

a reply to: zazzafrazz

Oh you'd be surprised. See: Trump & his supporters.

So thread not at all closed.

a reply to: ~Lucidity

That's actually hilarious! Is it surprising he doesn't have a proper grasp of the English language?

I don't think people are idiots because they are concerned and afraid. I think that the people you call idiots are just regular people who are expressing their concerns the best that they can.
