Responding to customers' complaints, Publix has stopped distributing a free 2010 calendar that marked Dec. 7 as the start of the Islamic New Year but excluded Pearl Harbor's anniversary.

Joyce Kaufman, whose radio talk show on WFTL-AM 850 is broadcast from Miami-Dade to Palm Beach counties, as well as other locations, criticized the supermarket chain on her show Wednesday, saying the company failed to include Pearl Harbor in a calendar that it had widely provided at supermarkets in recent weeks.

But of course this puke has to pop up:

Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islam Relations, a Washington-based Muslim civil rights and advocacy group, charged that the calendar's protesters focused on the exclusion of the Pearl Harbor anniversary to exploit "the natural patriotism" of Americans and to "marginalize Muslims and demonize Islam."

Publix is overpirced and Muslim/Haitian store. Haitians who work there run the stores and do very little work. I cannot wait for Aldi to expand in florida and smash publix.

It seems to me that the Muslims are demonizing themselves!Muslim civil rights....what about the rights of we non-Muslims in THEIR countries? No Bibles,be they the Hebrew or Christian Bibles,no crosses,no Star of Davids...The list goes on.These Muslims can shove it in their gob. (Love that British slang).

You are right about those prices. 6 bucks or more for a pie? Or how about 5 bucks for cheese slices?

Never seen a haitian in publix. Old farts bagging groceries, but no haitians.

Christmas Day I enjoyed a LARGE Pumpk’n pie from COSTCO and it was larger and tastier than last pie from publix..
Over the last twelve months we have reduced shopping at Publix by 75-80%. Using COSTCO, Walmart,BJ’s and roadside farmers stands.

The article stated that Publix says they've had a few complaints. I was in our Publix today and mentioned it to the manager behind the customer service counter. He said he'd been listening to people complain about it all day. Me thinks there were a lot more than a few complaints that caused these folks to throw away thousands of calendars.

Where is “Aldi” headquartered? I have never seen one here in So. FL.

Just Publix and Winn Dixie.

You are Right about that! There are not many Muslims in our community, but for some reason CAIR has targeted our area for
relentless attack.

ALL the business calenders at Office Depot have muslim holidays, but they also Remember Pearl Harbor!

Oh BTW...In the last 60 years, has there EVER been a POTUS who has spent TWO WEEKS on Oahu and NOT visited Pearl Harbor to lay a wreath on the USS Arizona?

You guessed it.

The Publix I hit every so often is a very nice store and usually a good shopping experience.
