Sales Now Skyrocketing
A sticker at an Illinois hamburger restaurant is getting a lot of attention.
A bumper sticker at Gross Burgers says, “If you can’t read this, thank a Marine.” There is Arabic writing on the sticker.
The owner of Gross Burgers, Brad Gross,says the sticker has been up for YEARS, given to him by a marine who served in Iraq. He’s never had a problem until now.
According to WCIA-TV:
Some say this message is offensive because it makes it seem like there’s something wrong with speaking Arabic–or we are protected from people who speak Arabic because of the Armed Forces.
The backlash has been rather harsh.
According to this:
A customer of the Danville burger joint posted a photo of the sign on Facebook last week, slamming the sticker – which includes the acronym for the United States Marine Corp – as “absolutely disgusting.”
“If you can read it, thank yourself for being a multicultural human and not a xenophobic garbage human,” read one comment on Facebook.
“Come for the burgers, stay for the blatant racism!” wrote another.
Sam Schnelle, the customer who posted the complaint, also called the restaurant, alleging the manager said they would “certainly not” be taking down the now controversial sticker.
He’s standing firm. Brad says it was never meant to be hurtful, and he has no reason to back down.
The owner of Gross Burgers, Brad Gross, says the sticker was not meant to be offensive. “The bumper sticker has been in my restaurant for more than a decade from a Marine that served in Iraq. He brought it in and asked me to put it up, and I said sure go ahead and put it up and it’s been there for all these years,” says Gross. Despite recent flack about the sticker–Gross says a lot of people in the community have still been supportive.
In fact, BPR notes that business has been booming and that supporters have been very vocal:
“It’s not about speaking another language. Be fluent in as many [ways] as you want. That’s great. But the sign is about being under a Muslim law or Sharia law & government that would make us write Arabic and abide by their laws,” one person wrote. “We need to thank our military we are not forced to be under that type of law.”
“Learn the history of the restaurant, Marine owned and operated. Get over it.”
Gross Burgers even apparently sold out of their signature item this weekend, as community members come out to show their support.
So, what do you think? Is the sticker inappropriate? Or is this just another case of Leftists finding reasons to be offended?
Its obvious the meaning is Radical Islamic Terrorists would have taken over our country long ago if not for our Amazing military.. Our Marines!
Libiots call defending America Islamophobic.. They always have, they always will. Ignore them. Do not allow them to steal your Joy. We have so much to be thankful for.. Democrats are here to remind us not to take America for granted.. If we did we would be just like them and our country would have been stolen from us long ago.. Thank the Lord we are Not Democrats!
WOW If we get to Danville again, will definitely make a point to have a meal or two there.

Snowflake needs to find a safe space maybe in a cave and stay there.
This reminds me of some years ago when Geno’s, one of Philadelphia’s premier “Philly steak” places, posted a sign asking patrons to order in English.
The City did not take this well.
Hopefully they do not live up to their name. 8>)
Yes, I remember the Geno’s incident. I think what really set them off was at the counter was a portrait of slain Philly P.O. Daniel Faulkner, murdered by America’s favorite cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal.
The text reminded me of "Chez Bland" and the house specialty, "The Bland Enchilada".
Well the fact that the place has been around for decades, I knew that they were good, but I couldn’t resist the joke!! 8>)

It says “Mohammed La Raha”. It means “videt” in Arabic.
(Old Spanish joke)
There is and we are.
*Libiots*...
I LIKE that.
Sounds like self righteousness triggers an endorphin rush.
I’d go there for a burger.
Well, yes.

“....to the shores of Tripoli...”
What if American Airlines Flight 93 crashed into the White House or Congress on 9/11 instead of a field in Pennsylvania?
Would Bush have called islam the religion of peace? Would the rats be smacking up to the head-choppers? Would Obama have seeded muzzies all over America? Would there be muzzie members of Congress. Would Saudi Arabia get away with building mosques all over the US?
Would Congress and the Left bend over as they do today and ask to be penetrated by the goat-effers?
