Up-and-coming coffee retailer Caribou keeps compliant with Shari'ah law. Well, isn't that special.

Doesn't matter to me, because I would sooner keep my money instead of shelling out four bucks for a cup of coffee. But if you are in the habit of paying waaaaay too much for your morning joe, just something to consider...

So I wonder of Caribou has taken any loans and do they pay interest ?

I will never pay a single penny to this Jihadist company.

Are their female employees going to be wearing hijab?

Well, you can't buy TNT from Starbucks.

I bet the Torah would be a definite no-no...

Shame, because I really enjoy the shots of booze and the pork rinds served at the blackjack table by the nude waitress at my local Starbucks.

Pffft! Big deal! When was the last time someone asked you "would you like one lump or two lumps of pork fat in your coffee?" How moral of them to forbid it when it's not even part of the drink or business!

Carabou is owned by Islamists?

I'll stick with "It's a Grind" - they bring you your coffee, chairs are comfy, music is good, and the WiFi is free.

What's the problem here? They have a religious bent and they're following it. You can't get pork chops in a Kosher restaurant, either.

I wouldn't expect a coffee shop to sell any of those things anyhow, so it just looks like they're making an issue of being Islam-compliant.

Would one generally expect to find pork, beer, or lottery tickets at a coffeehouse? It's not the sort of business I frequent, but those seem like unrelated products, to me.

This needs to made public everywhere.
The folksy Minnestota backwoods theme is a cover for Islam.

I used to like their product when in the Twin cities but will not go in one again.

I just go to 7/11. Why pay an arm and a leg for a half cup of coffee? Besides, It's cheaper just to buy Foldgers and brew your own.

There goes the pork fat, amaretto, double chocolate latte with a PBR chaser.

They'll probably sell bomb belts and goats, along with their jihad blend..

There is a Caribou Coffee about 2 mi. from me. I have to admit I like their coffee better than Starbucks.
I don't frequent either very often.
But guess where I'll not go anymore.
