Hyatt hotels won't rent to hate groups, CEO says; Muslim group claims a victory

Hyatt Hotels Corp., one of the nation’s largest hotel companies, announced it will no longer host hate groups at its nearly 800 properties, a move that was praised by a Muslim advocacy group.

Mark Hoplamazian, chief executive of the hotel company, released a memo to employees Thursday, explaining the new anti-hate policy for Hyatt Hotels Corp.

Muslim Advocates, an Oakland-based civil rights advocacy group that has been pressing hotel companies to take similar steps against hate groups, called the decision a victory.

The Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Virginia hosted a group in September called ACT for America, which describes itself as an organization dedicated to educating and training Americans to “help prevent criminal activity and terrorism.”

But Muslim Advocates accuses ACT for America of being a “white supremacist-aligned anti-Muslim hate group.” Muslim Advocates has pressed Hyatt and other hotel companies to refuse to rent to ACT for America.

ACT for America could not be reached for comment but in a news release issued Friday in response to similar accusations by the Southern Poverty Law Center, ACT for America said the group “has never, and will never, tolerate any bias, discrimination, or violence against anyone, based on their religion, gender, race or political persuasion.”

I think Hyatt has got it backwards.
They won’t ‘rent to Hate Groups’, yet they welcome (unvetted) Muslim Groups? Okay. Let’s put on our Thinking Caps again and flip the switch. Some connections are not sparking up at all.

Some people consider groups such as Focus on the Family a hate group, because they do not revere homosexuality. Who exactly is going to decide who are s a hate group? Some liberal advocacy organization??

So then, 2nd amendment groups, religious organizations,people wanting immigration laws enforced, or any group with traditional values, will be deemed hateful.

Discrimination in public hotel accommodation? That should be an easy lawsuit to win.

Therefore a certain Georgetown University professor and her feminist agenda will be banned. No hate groups.

Mark Hoplamazian, an Armenian whose ancestors were slaughtered by a Muslim terrorist state in Turkey in 1915, hands them the sword to do it again.

This is a continuing attack on society - first silenced on the internet’s - now moving on silencing conservative thought in public based on political speech.

Black times for America and it’s time to fight back.
