#1 If you refuse to sale to someone because they were black you'd be a racist. If you refused to sale to someone because they were Jewish you'd be an anti-semitic. If you refused to sale to someone because they were soldiers you'd be ....

Wouldn't the first two acts get your business license pulled?

#5 Othman Atta, president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, said he would fault the worker for his lack of tact but defended his right to speak his mind. "If you look at the polls, his opinion is reflected by a majority of Americans now," Atta said. "In the United States, everyone one is free to speak their opinion."

Atta appeared concerned that the controversy might fuel anti-Muslim and anti-Middle Eastern sentiment."Some people will look for any excuse to target people from the Middle East," he said.

I think that's right out of the CAIR Handbook:
"Islamic Fuckups, Responding to"...

#6 I agree he has the right to speak his mind, even to a soldier fighting for his freedom.

We, on the other hand, also have the right to send him an email "Speaking" our mind and telling him what we think of his sad little prank.

#7 Anyone with the last name "Atta" needs to thank his lucky stars he is living in the only country on Earth that would have left him unmolested after 9/11.

#8 Othman Atta, president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, said he would fault the worker for his lack of tact but defended his right to speak his mind.

So Mr. Atta thinks it good business practice to deliberately drive away potential customers... not to mention all their friends and relations? There is a reason why successful businesspeople choose to enjoy their personal opinions after hours, and why bankrupt, former businesspeople learn the hard way why they shouldn't have let their employees mouth off to customers. Even if it is poor cousin Ahcmed, who is too sensitive to get a job at the McDonalds down the street.

#9 From Icerigger's link:

The Web site's owner, 23-year-old Faisal Khetani, fired the employee who wrote the e-mail. Khetani told TODAY'S TMJ4 the e-mail does not express the views of his company. The Khetani family immigrated from Pakistan in 1992. They became U.S. citizens. [F.K.'s father] Ramzan Khetani insisted his family supports the troops in Iraq and feels patriotic about the United States.

#10 Google Earthed the address in the e-mail. Guy's working out of a house. Who did he fire? His wife?

#11 This Mooslum is a real piece of work. I finally tracked down the threat he made. Faisal Khetani is one busy boy. His family, or him sell electric scooters. On that site they state outright they won't ship to APOs.

Resa LaRu Warchick Kirkland, one of our correspondents here on Publius Forum, has been trying to clear up a wretched email that was sent to one of our boys in Iraq refusing him service and telling him he should pull out of Iraq.

In that same letter, Khetani also threatened Kirkland with unleashing the wrath of major muslim organizations on her for her insults. He closed by telling Kirkland, you can be sure that there are million of muslim activists as well that will do something about your foul statements. your statements against Muslims and your direct insults will not go unheard, I assure you.

There you have it. It's all her fault and now he's threatening an American with Islamic retaliation. How pathetically typical.

#12 The kid is 23, AlmostAnonymous5839. Likely he either fired himself or poor cousin Achmed... or his former best friend and partner. But I'm sure Daddy is even less happy with the situation than poor Faisal is.

#13 The video of his daddy, well he didn't look to pleased. Wonder if anyone will ask him about his son's threats.

Deportation or tar and feathering. Second thought, nah do both.
