Howard Shultz, who is himself Jewish, "does not believe the terrorism (sic) is representative of the Palestinian people."

Fisk is such a silly boob. Check out the (sic) after “terrorism”!

No wonder the Islamist oppose Starbuck's, they have their own company.

Caribou Coffee 88% Owned by First Islamic Investment Bank

I hate that former governor , now head of Homeland Security, John Ridge.

Nestlé is a SWISS company, not a US company. In 1867 Henri Nestlé developed the first infant food in Vevey, Switzerland. The corporate headquarters are still there, I remember, in or near Vevey.

Boycotting Burger King?
I smell PETA.
Let's not forget suing Pizza Hut too.

Screw them. Camel meat is now on my "shit list".

If you want to see this fall apart, all they have to do is tell them that Muslims are not welcome and will not be served! They will trip over their burnoose rushing to get back in.

Let's just boycott Arabs. We need less of them. And anything connected with the loon Fisk, of course. Odd thing, I know of exactly two Fisks and both are patently insane Arafat-lickers.

[A Ruckus of Dogs]

But will they boycott their US made computers, their Boeing passneger planes, and the US made medicine??

[Alouette]

Burger King incurred Arab anger more than two years ago when it opened an outlet in an illegal Jewish settlement on the occupied West Bank.

A "settlement" called "Maale Adumim." It is located adjacent to Jerusalem. IOW, what we in the USA usually call a "suburb."

[spokeshave]

Does this extend to all the booze, drugs and pornography tapes that the arabs consume...?

[aomagrat]

Maybe they are just making sure that there will be no arab casualties in the upcoming homicide bombing campaign.

I posted this on my Ramblings' Journal site yesterday (Thursday) - they want to play that game? No problem. It sounds like it might be time to ratchet this up -- I'm sure that many of the national talk show hosts would be interested in this bit of information....

I love good, strong coffee.

I'm one of those folks who will fix a pot in the morning and drink two good strong cups before 9AM. I'll leave my coffee pot on all day as well. My poison dujour alternates between Starbucks, Caribou and (when I'm a little low on coin) Chock Full O'Nuts.

Well, it looks like it's time to strike Caribou from that list of my preferred brews. This decision pains me - the people that work there are friendly; the coffee is good and strong (two of my qualifiers), albeit different in taste than Starbucks. Plus they have great holiday drinks.

What led me to this decision is a note I got the other day -- one that appears to be circulating on the internet apparently -- and found that my beloved Caribou Coffee is 87.8% owned by an entity called the First Islamic Investment Bank. Now, considering my wariness of things Islamic -- having Islamic terrorists wipe out a couple of skyscrapers will do that to you -- I checked it out.

First place I looked was the venerable Snopes.com. Snopes is the definitive research source regarding urban legends and other such things in the way of rumors on the web. Snopes pointed me directly to First Islamic, and sure enough, there it was in black and white. Well, investigating further, I found that the list of principles of First Islamic included a statement that said, "Above all, ensuring that all activities conform to Islamic Shari'ah."

OK, what does that mean? Looking up the definition, I found:

The Arabic word shari`ah refers to the laws and way of life prescribed by Allah (SWT) for his servants. The shari`ah deals with the ideology and faith; behavior and manners; and practical daily matters.

What that says to me is that they follow the Qur'an implicitly. On the surface that sounds OK, except that also implies that they would then support the more radical elements. Those are the ones that want to see all of us dead. While I certainly don't see any of those sorts of elements within Caribou Coffee, I would rather err on the side of caution. I don't know about you, but I definitely don't want to see any of my hard-earned dollars going to the support of radical Islam, and potentially supporting the murder of innocents in the United States or anywhere else for that matter.

Until Caribou can provide me with some satisfactory assurances that this isn't happening with the money that I spend with them, I'll have to take my dollars elsewhere for my coffee.
