A South Florida Marriott Hotel canceled a Muslim group's conference at the last minute after a protest group claimed the coalition was promoting Hamas, terrorism and antisemitism...

Joe Kaufman, who organized the protest against the conference, accused Kakli and groups that are part of his coalition of supporting terrorism, including the Hamas attack. He said some of the conference's planned speakers have made antisemitic comments and called for the destruction of Israel.

Kaufman, a longtime protester against some Islamic groups, insisted he has nothing against Muslims, just anyone he believes promotes antisemitism.

This report seems pretty straightforward. The media just south in Miami seems to be IUTRAGED that the Marriott doesn't want to host a bunch of people who hate Jews.

With all the Jews in South Florida, the risk of a workplace accident would appear to be a concern.

Let’s hope the Muslims don’t protest that in their usual fashion.

…don’t you know anything? They’re right, we’re wrong. There is no greater victim of racism and bigotry then the white straight male. No matter their political beliefs.

When Republican conventions are canceled because of ‘security concerns’ (dems protesting), they take it on the chin and move on. Look for this to because an ‘islamophobia’ issue.

I'm a bit surprised that they would actually cancel a protected group.

It’s a start. Tell them to host these things in Davos. The Swiss don’t seem to care about folks hatching plots that are going to start WWIII.

It does a lot more than “promotes.”

Islam IS antisemitism. As the Islamic saying goes, “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people.”

Muslims serve Allah. Allah hates everyone.

A lot of Muslims hate Jews; even when they’re elected to Congress. It’s no secret. For a long time, it’s even been accepted by the mainstream media and government. Calling for genocide finally crossed the line.

They should let it continue.. have video camera’s rolling at the entrance, you’d have a complete list attendees and where they came from. Perfect mass data collection site.

Any group who does not openly condemn what Hamas did should be cancelled at everything they do. Totally. Make every individual a pariah.

If you are not willing to condemn evil acts YOU ARE EVIL.
