It is the inclusion of two very specific groups, however, that made the list a hot topic on a number of right wing U.S. news sites. Two American groups that represent Muslims — the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim American Society — had been designated terrorist groups by the Gulf state.

Neither CAIR nor the Muslim American Society are designated terror groups by the U.S. government, which is a major ally and trading partner of the U.A.E., and their inclusion on the list surprised many analysts — especially when more established groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah in Lebanon were left off. CAIR put out a statement that said they were seeking clarification on their "shocking and bizarre" inclusion on the list, while the Muslim American Society said that they had had "no dealings with the United Arab Emirates" and were "perplexed by this news."
The UAE has an issue with these groups because they are part of a wider network, some with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, that are challenging the ruling monarchies in the Middle East. They also designated groups in Norway and several other countries that have spurious at best ties to the UAE. I'd follow the US list...

It turns out that there's another so-called 'Muslim free' place of business, this one in Oklahoma. And here's what happened there yesterday:

Quote:
A Checotah man shot himself in the wrist while "defending" a survival gear store and shooting range in Oktaha, said Muskogee County Sheriff Charles Pearson.

Terrence Veninga, 57, was volunteering Tuesday morning as an armed guard with several other self-described patriots at the Save Yourself Survival and Tactical Gear store and gun range, a self-professed Muslim-free store.

His gun, an old Colt .45 revolver, fell from its bucket holster and discharged. The bullet hit him in the wrist, Pearson said. Veninga was guarding the store because of alleged threats against it, Pearson said.

Of course, the odds that one of these 'guards' was going to accidentally shoot someone was always vastly greater than the odds that one of them were ever going to defend the store against an imaginary threat to it. What a bunch of pathetic posers.

So it's okay for a gun store to deny people their Second amendment rights based on their religious beliefs?

Until this happens, he can say whatever he wants and he'll get increased business from his target customers.

And don't forget the online source - gofundme

Owner can make up a story that will appeal who can't travel to buy from him and will donate him. He's going to be rich soon.

How is the store owner going to know if someone is a Muslim? Most of us look the same as any other American.

Sort of the way concealed carry owners are descriminated?
