Even more telling is the fact that virtually no Muslims speak out against terrorism and jihad. Why are the "moderate" Muslims not condemning the radicalized jihadis?

Absolutely not. There is nothing in the Second Amendment that denies a business owner the right to turn down business, although there may be statute limiting discrimination.

If having the right to keep and bear arm meant what you think it does, how would you handle the fact that you can't buy a pistol at McDonalds? The management for those stores made a business decision to sell sandwiches and to not sell guns. Their choice, just like it is the gun dealers choice to opt out of trading with Muslims.

however in either case if the "business decision'' results in discriminatory practice against a protected group (if McDonald decides not to trade with black customers, or a gun shop decides not to sell guns to Moslems, for example), statutes on the books may well cause the owner some heartburn.

But neither of the above decisions violate the Second Amendment.

Get my point?

The largest Muslim front group in US; Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), is on UAE's terrorist organisations list.

No, it's not illegal to refuse his particular type of service based on religion in the state of Florida. Perhaps you should acquaint yourself with the relevant statues before making a stupid statement. Race, color, creed, sex, national origin, disability, yes, religion, no. Of course if a Muslim customer could prove they were discriminated against based on the fact that they came from a Muslim country and not just because they were Muslim, a court may uphold that opinion, but it's just as easy for buddy boy to prove he chose to refuse service based on religion and not country of origin.

In Florida, you cannot make a business decision based on religion if it involves employment, housing or certain private club memberships. Everything else, including gun sales, is fair game.

I'm sure his whole point is to make a quick cash grab on every anti-muslim, good ol' boy, doomsday prepper type, which will likely be successful. That being said, he also stated on the news this morning that he had spent several years studying the Koran and had come to the conclusion that, interpreted literally, any Muslim abiding by the teachings of the Koran, was obligated to eliminate any other religion and the worship of any other God, hence, what the radicals are doing should be expected and is inline with their teachings. Whether true or not who knows, and he claimed to be open to discussing this with local Muslim powers that be, so what will come of it long term who knows. It's a sorry situation, and just adds one more reason to eliminate this country's use of two things; the confederate flag and organized religion. He's using both to sell guns, nothing more, nothing less, and now that the flag has been relegated to use in rallying rednecks and selling guns, what's the point of flying it?

That was a quite a while ago.

I wonder if the Catholics faced being profiled as potential terrorists back in the day?

The Crusades were a response to the incessant attacks by Islamic Jihad.

Yes, Crusades were in a direct response to Muslims taking over Catholic cities and areas. Not commenting on whether or not this was right, just stating facts.

As a side, I really don't like when people try to compare modern Islamic extremist terrorism to the Crusades; or when "but the Crusades" is their response to the fact that no Christians radicalize in mass numbers and resort to violent terrorism like Muslims do. I don't think anything in history has come close in nature to the wave of violent Islamic extremism we see today.
