Nation of Islam can open a restaurant in Chicago, but not Chick-fil-A?
Legal Insurrection ^ | 7-26-2012 | Wm. A. Jacobson

Posted on 07/26/2012 8:49:16 PM PDT by ReformationFan

Even The Boston Globe has come out against the bullying of Chick-fil-A by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino because of the position of Chick-fil-A’s President and his father (the founder) on marriage:

The president of Chick-fil-A opposes gay marriage. While this view goes against the grain in a state that made history by embracing it, it’s no reason for Mayor Thomas M. Menino to oppose a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Boston….

Chick-fil-A must follow all state and city laws. If the restaurant chain denied service to gay patrons or refused to hire gay employees, Menino’s outrage would be fitting. And the company should be held to its statement that it strives to “treat every person with honor, dignity and respect — regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation, or gender.” But beyond the fact that Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays, the religious beliefs of the company’s top executive don’t appear to control its operations….

Ironically, Menino is citing the specific location along the Freedom Trail as a reason to block Chick-fil-A. A city in which business owners must pass a political litmus test is the antithesis of what the Freedom Trail represents. History will render judgment on the views of Chick-fil-A executives. City Hall doesn’t have to.

Michael Graham (h/t DaTechGuy) points out that Menino’s litmus test doesn’t apply equally to all religious beliefs, Mayor Menino Donated Tax Dollars To “Homophobic” Group In Boston!:

This is the Islamic Society of Boston’s mosque in Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood, a.k.a. “Menino’s Mosque.

Mayor Menino “sold” $2 million worth of city property to the ISB for $175,000, despite their well-documented links to Muslim extremism. The mosque teaches a form of Islam that condemns homosexuals to death.

Chicago is a quagmire. America needs to pull out.

If the Nation of Islam were denied their restaurant permit, the South Side would explode.

Easy to understand. OTOH, Chick Fil-A is perceived as “white”.

I was thinking the same, The Chick restaurant patrons won’t burn down the city, on the other hand...

Simply one more attack on Christians led mainly, by the Sandusky crowd supporters. When will the lesbians, the genitally mutilated, and the coprophiles be silenced? Do we let this go on or do we support Chick-fil-a? To support them, I went out of my way to have one of their excellent sandwiches just yesterday in the Atlanta airport.

I GET WHAT MENINO IS DOING!!!

Allow the homosexuals to marry, by preventing Chick Fil-A from doing business in Boston.

Then, when you have identified them, allow the Mosque you sold property to, to put the homosexuals to death.

PRETTY CRAFTY, MAYOR MENINO!!!!

Well we all know it’s about suppressing Christians and any vestige of Christianity.

It always has been with Liberals. They’ll partner with anyone - sexual deviants, socialist subversives, communist terrorists, muslim terrorists - to accomplish their little Utopia.

Chick-Fil-A is an unabashed Christian-owned company, and the owner and management have the absolute RIGHT to profess their faith and live it as they see fit, and the absolute right to run their legal,lawful business as they see fit. And if that runs counter to whatever current scheme to subvert the society that the Left is working this week, well, to their way of thinking, it must be attacked (through “legal” means, for right now) and suppressed for daring to interfere with the agenda.

Every person in this country who considers themselves even nominally Christian should respond to this with outrage and support.

I’m not a big fast food aficionado; but I’ll make it a point to go the Chick-Fil-A near me (about a 1/4 mile away) and support them with my wallet, encouragement, and whatever other support they may need.

We need to be a wall on this, folks. These are OUR people being attacked here, in our own country, by domestic subversives, for exercising their religious freedom. If the way to push back, right now, is with our wallets, then we should do so...

Same with gun owners/gun rights activists.

They mess with one of us, they’re messing with ALL of us.

Thanks ReformationFan.
...the Islamic Society of Boston's mosque in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood, a.k.a. "Menino's Mosque" ... Mayor Menino "sold" $2 million worth of city property to the ISB for $175,000, despite their well-documented links to Muslim extremism. The mosque teaches a form of Islam that condemns homosexuals to death.
...and despite the fact that the city lost $1,825,000 on the sale. He should have been stopped -- separation of church and state applies to the limo libs as well -- then impeached or recalled. Or maybe just strung up like Mussolini.

The so-called "Nation of Islam" is a "Black Liberation" communist front movement like Wright's phony church. Farrakhan doesn't sincerely believe in "Allah". His role models are Castro and Mao. He describes Obama and Mao as "transformers".

"If you look at Barack Obama's audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed."--Louis Farrakhan

Unity generates power to change reality
By the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan

"The time has never been more ripe for a strategic relationship between the Black, Brown, Native American and the poor of this nation and the world."

"We need a Ministry of Defense. Our young men are born soldiers, but they are in the wrong war. They are fighting a war in the streets of America against each other, or they are fighting an unjust war overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq. We need to bring our boys home and put them into the Ministry of Defense, so we can defend our communities, rather than destroy our communities.

We need a Ministry of Art and Culture. We applaud the hip hop community, the leaders of young people all over the world, but I want the young generation of artists to know there is a bigger purpose for art and culture than popping our fingers and shaking our backsides.

Mao Tse Tung, throughout his long march to conquer China, had a billion people whose lives he had to transform. Many of them were victims of opium, drugs and prostitution, like we are. But Mao Tse Tung went to the cultural community and they accepted his idea. Then, through song, dance, poetry, drama, documentaries, movies and books, the idea of Mao Tse Tung became the idea of a billion people. China became a world power on the base of culture and the artistic community. If we had a Ministry of Art and Culture in every city, [we'd] create this movement [in the U.S.], we could say to our young people, “What is the idea of the Time and are you reflecting that idea in your songs, dance and music?

We need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce. Do you think that a Millions More Movement should not be involved in the development of Africa, the Caribbean and Central America? ... we need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce that can link the struggle here with Africa and the Caribbean, Central and South America.

“Although it [The New Black Panther Party] says it sees capitalism as the fundamental problem with the world and “revolution” as the solution, the new party does not draw its influences from Marxism or Maoism as the original party did. Instead, in a carefully-worded, roundabout form of ethnic nationalism,[8] they say that Marx based his ideology and teachings on indigenous African cultures, and that the NBPP therefore need not look to Marxism or Maoism as a basis for their program, but can look to ideologies that stem directly from those African origins.”
