MUSLIM MERCHANTS BOYCOTT NEW YORK POST (Muslims refusing to sell paper)

CAIR Email ^ | 1 August 2002 | CAIR

[Red Jones]

you're exactly correct; it also makes non-muslims think that perhaps they should boycott muslims in all ways.

[hellinahandcart]

Whoops. That will hurt sales. No convenience stores selling the post? OUCH.

Have you any idea how many places there are to buy a newspaper in this town? This isn't going to hurt the Post at all. It IS going lose business for the shop owners who choose to deprive their customers of the Post.

And while the boycott may be temporary, the customers' memories of it will be permanent.

I don't know about you, but I actually enjoy watching people shoot themselves in the foot...

>"The infidels it speaks of are the idol worshippers"

>"if He said that Jews and Christians are of the book, then it is obvious that these are not the infidels which the Koran talks about.."

Sorry, a_Turk, but going to have to call you on some of this hair splitting you're engaging in.

The thrust of your arguments have been the misinterpretation of the Koran, and you asking us to ignore the Hadith. And Identifying and making cause with the 'Peoples of the Book".

In short, what about those peoples not of the book? Who have different books? Like the Buddhists, for example.

And getting back to idol worshippers....what about a genuine pagan, polytheist, idol worshipping, idolatar like me. There is no doubt that regardless of the temporizing on Jews and Christians, Hindus and Buddhists are firmly in the autopilot's course of AirIslam's planes.

After the Accursed Attacks on American, I have been forced to define myself by my religion, something which i never really did before, and do not like doing now. But we are now in this Religious conflict, despite the fact that you are papering that aspect over. I attribute that directly and personally to ArabandPakistani Muslims who have brought their sickness and filth to the shores of America and demanded that we of the secular world pay homage to their religious beliefs. What untrammelled arrogance. Why is it us that have to do the understanding?

Why do you have to explain the finer points of Islam to us. Where are the learned mullahs and academics. MOST of them are spewing hate and advocating jihad. It's tough for the moderate side to be left to guys like you, who now have an impossible task to convince the great unwashed that Islam is not a threat to us. Individuals like you aren't, but the Religion as an aggregate and a collective certainly is. How do we tell who's who?

THe strategy you are pursuing doesn't give me comfort at all. It is an extension of the viewpoint put forth by Muslims before the September Attacks on America. Making common cause with the people of the book and ignoring all the others. Just the other day, a Saudi newspaper called the new President of India, Kalam, a "Muslim" in quotes because they asserted he's not a real Muslim becuase he's read the Gita and other infidel texts.

Granted, Turkey is a huge exception, but the point is we were attacked in the name of Islam. You may stand and shout that Israel is for the Jews, but most of the religious leaders of Islam say the opposite and would kill you for advocating that.

It is not for us infidels to figure out what the real islam. That's for Muslims to do.

We were attacked in the name of Islam. Why should we not believe those Muslims who say so; constantly, loudly and vehemently.

[a_Turk]

Will you stand up in a mosque and say this? (I can understand that you would be jeopardizing your life...)

Sure I would. I'd stand there and read the passages to them. They would not be able to touch me, but the mullahsand their dogs could be waiting for me outside. No, I'm no Jesus, especially now since I have two little kids to take care of. Later...

[a_Turk]

In short, what about those peoples not of the book? Who have different books? Like the Buddhists, for example.

What about them. If they persecute me, or if anyone else does, even if they are "so called Muslims," they're toast.

And getting back to idol worshippers....what about a genuine pagan, polytheist, idol worshipping, idolatar like me.

According to the verses on religious tolerance, long as you're not hostile I can't touch you. God, according to the Koran, will judge on Judgement Day.

There is no doubt that regardless of the temporizing on Jews and Christians, Hindus and Buddhists are firmly in the autopilot's course of AirIslam's planes.

But there indeed is doubt in light of what I've just told you. And anyway, when is it going to sink in that regardles of the delusions of the triggermen, the leaders of these losers are not motivated by religion but rather by greed. Such are false prophets we're all warned about.

What untrammelled arrogance.

I'm with you on that.

Individuals like you aren't, but the Religion as an aggregate and a collective certainly is. How do we tell who's who?

You check and recheck our bags..

Just the other day, a Saudi newspaper called the new President of India, Kalam, a "Muslim" in quotes because they asserted he's not a real Muslim becuase he's read the Gita and other infidel texts.

Nowhere in the Koran does it say that you should not study this or that. Damn the bastards. I'm very proud of India to have elected a Muslim after all they've been through. Maybe there's a lesson there. What a way to turn the other cheek. Damned proud of them.

You may stand and shout that Israel is for the Jews, but most of the religious leaders of Islam say the opposite and would kill you for advocating that.

That's if I don't kill them first. I could give a sh!t what they say.

It is not for us infidels to figure out what the real islam. That's for Muslims to do.

It's up to all of us non-drones to toil to add to the common pool of knowledge and understanding. My little voice may represent just one single raindrop.. Yet that will never discourage me. I won't give up on you who have been so good to me for all these years.

We were attacked in the name of Islam. Why should we not believe those Muslims who say so; constantly, loudly and vehemently.

Are you going to take a terrorists word over mine? I am telling you that the perps are at best corrupted Muslims, and those who praise them are in for a big surprise if there really is such a thing as Judgement Day.

[NYCop]

Newsday and the Daily News backed Hillary, so those papers are banned, I love the Post and hope the circulation triples.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Alexander Hamilton founded the New York Post 200 yrs ago to counter the lies of Jefferson's hired crew of journalistic hacks/liers. It is the oldest continually operating newspaper in the country.

With what the Post has seen in the last two centuries this is a fly buzzing around ready for the swatter.

[Travis McGee]

Are you going to take a terrorists word over mine?

We HAVE to, they are actively trying to kill us, while you sit at home clicking about peace love and understanding on a computer. Only damn fools ignore millions of fanatics who swear to kill them, and do all they can to kill them as we saw on 9-11 etc.

I am telling you that the perps are at best corrupted Muslims....

But a_Turk, they say the same about YOU, with your Turkish cigarettes and wine and uncovered walking freely women. So who should we believe speaks for the "real" Islam? The stay at home quiet moderates, or the millions of rabid fanatics screaming Jihad and Holy Murder Glory?

[brat]

Someone should bring a discrimination suit against them. Freedom of Speech should work both ways.

[goody2shooz]

I recently heard that the majority of Arabs in the United States are Christian, not Muslim. The overwhelming majority of Muslims in this country are, in fact, black and native born citizens.

That fact ought to scare the pee out of anyone!

I also know quite a few Arab Christians who are royally ticked off at the Israelis, and only one is a Palestinian.

[Demidog]

Good for them. I hope it forces the Post to reconsider their editorial policies.
