I know, but I disagree with the law. I don't think government should have the power to force private business owners to serve anyone.

Shangri-La Hotel - Santa Monica - Santa Monica, CA

They've got stinky reviews going back to 2010.

I've never heard of anybody staying here or recommending it.

The Muslim owner of the Shangri-La says that the participants in a pro-Israeli event were trespassing.

An anti-semetic Muslim business owner? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

What does CAIR have to say on this one?

[joebaldknobber]

Arabs are Semitic.

Maybe the Muslims were Persian, East Asian, or European?

Messed up. Where was this person's ethics? Really....money trumps. Business rules. Turn away Jews with money? Now....that is beyond messed up. And stupid. Business people need to act professional and put their own biases away.

The only issue is....what if she had a Jewish party...and all of her rich Arab friends were offended? Maybe they spend more than a token Jewish party...

If you stay at a non-major chain, you can bet it is owned by middle eastern, or Indian.

I could go on for days.

Adaya Tehmina learned that they were Jews, she canceled the party despite which had been approved by the hotel management before.The news media reports that when Adaya made the discovery, she shouted, "Get the fu**ing Jews out of my pool.

"Get the fu**ing Jews out of my pool.

Replace 'Jews' with the N-word (or even a more polite "blacks") and you would be FURIOUS.

Further, every single one of you in this thread defending "Get the fu**ing [Jews in this case, but insert any ethnic group here] out of my pool" in AMERICA should feel ashamed of yourselves. Your politics with regard to the middle east is irrelevant - this is not acceptable behavior in this country.

You are being the worst kind of hypocrite here.

You might lack creativity but you certainly don't lack logic. You hit the nail on the head.

Ironic that the liberal "gay rights" party defends a religion who would just as soon hang them as cut their heads off because they are gay or support gay rights.

Most american liberals won't, luckily.

However, shamefully many Europeans such as the Swedes would.
