Remember how President Obama promised Lobbyists wouldn’t be running his administration? With more than 1,000 lobbyists coming through the front door of the White House for meetings inside, Laura Ingraham reports on Fox News today that many meetings with lobbyists are simply taking place across the street at the local Caribou Coffee shop!

Caribou Coffee is a Sharia Law compliant corporation owned by an Islamic bank and capital corporation.

Just as an aside....

Geez, you know an enterprising news organization could just hang out at the coffee shop and win a pulitzer. Too bad WAPO, ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, CNN, and MSNBC isn’t interested in Pulitzers.

Doesn’t Sharia law forbid interest on loans?

I thought you were kidding. You weren't.

Their largest shareholder is an affiliate of Arcapita Bank B.S.C,. a global investment group founded in 1997 with offices in Atlanta, London and Bahrain. Arcapita beneficially owns 58.9% of the outstanding shares of Caribou's common stock as of January 3, 2010, and operates its business and makes its investments in a manner consistent with the body of Islamic principles known as Shari’ah.

Probably just a coincidence.

wait.. is Obambi going across the street to this coffee shop? and no one ever noticed this?

Is this to avoid taped white house conversations or surveilance? Is the place tested for bugs? Who is he meeting there and what are they planning?

and again- NO ONE NOTICED THIS FOR 18 MONTHS???????

Nope. I remember there was a big hoohah here in Georgia when Church’s chicken was bought out by Acapita and they stopped selling bacon and sausage on their breakfast biscuits. This is the south!! NOT having bacon is practically forbidden, lol.

After I found out WHY most Church’s Chicken stopped selling breakfast altogether, I was stunned. They sold Church’s last year I think, but still. To think that we have business RIGHT NOW that must be Sharia Compliant being bought up by Islamic capital companies... just is frightening. They have so much money, how many other businesses can they purchase and make compliant? Thereby forcing Sharia on consumers. Of course I wouldn’t give them my money, but just like you guys didn’t know, many out there don’t either.

Yes, that’s what I understand. But they still have loans, just charge fees instead.
