Anti-terrorism ping...
Why aren't these guys behind bars or kicked out of the US?
BTTT
I guess American corporations fear Muslim retaliation within the United States. They do not fear the retaliation of loyal Americans.
CAIR has the right to organize and to hold conferences, so long as they stay within the law. What's disturbing here is to see a major American corporation refusing to serve an explicitly anti-terrorist organization like the Peoples' Truth Forum for fear that some Muslims might be offended.
So the Marriott can host a conference featuring CAIR, but they can't host a conference discussing terrorism in general? They need a good freep, if you ask me.
Well while it is sad, at least they are honest they are AFRAID.
Marriott should be equally afraid that anti-terrorist U.S. citizens will demonstrate our displeasure via protests and our wallets.
That fact alone speaks volumes, though, doesn't it? We are civilized and they are not.
It does.
Can you see the Pentagon from the Crystal Gateway? I know you can from the Crystal City Marriott. I don't expect that the local rabble, Pentagon brass, will be protesting around a hotel. But I doubt they've forgotten the gaping hole and fallen from amongst them.
I'm sure German hotels in the 1930s had the same concerns about the Brownshirts!
If our government would enforce the laws, Muslim thugs would not be threatening people who are peacefully assembling to exercise their First Amendment rights. What the Hell is wrong with this country?
Incidentally, I didn't know that CAIR was an offshoot of Hamas. I guess it's because the MSM hasn't discovered that yet. Or prefers not to tell the public.
When are the administration and faculty of Georgetown going to get measured for their burqas? And I include the males in that group.
CAIR is essentally a government-approved and sacntioned organization, since its members frequently hold large events without incident and share stages with President Bush and other senior DC officials. What basis would the Marriott have for rejecting them? If their presence is a problem in America, it's up to the government to declare them a terrorist-sponsoring organization and start detaining their leaders - if the government won't do that, then it isn't up to the Marriott to take action in their stead.
Conversely, the other group is small, in no way linked to the power brokers in DC, and likely to take action or make statements that could prove troublesome for the hotel. Marriott has the right to refuse sevice to them - they same way they could refuse to allow a rock band to take over three floors of the hotel if they thought the hotel would end up getting trashed. It may seem like a short-sighted decision, but Marriott still has the right to make it. They, of course, would have the same right to refuse service to CAIR if they thought bad things would result, but since that organization has official backing in DC it might prove fiscally imprudent to do so.
Why would the Marriott reject Islamics , when half their staffs are Islamics.
Have you people never seen who is running hotels and motels these days
