Actually, the owner is violating the Civil Rights Law. Freedom of religion - remember? It applies to Muslims as well as Baptists and Catholics. A business is not supposed to be able to discriminate against someone based on their religious beliefs.

Pity that Obama doesn’t know how to apply that to the Sisters of the Poor and Hobby Lobby...

Even if their religious 'belief' is that they should kill the owner and rob his store ?

"Privately-owned/operated businesses and buildings. Privately-owned businesses and facilities that offer certain* goods or services to the public -- including food, lodging, gasoline, and entertainment -- are considered public accommodations for purposes of federal and state anti-discrimination laws. For purposes of disability discrimination, the definition of a "public accommodation" is even more broad, encompassing most businesses that are open to the public (regardless of type).

...

One could argue that a gun store is NOT a Public Accommodation under the Civil Rights act.

And the "Freedom of Religion" thing under the Bill of Rights has absolutely nothing to do with private enterprise.

*Note that says CERTAIN goods and services... Not All goods and services.

Islam is a socio-political system masquerading as a religion. We would do well to recognize that and act accordingly.
