What I think "should" be is not my right to enforce upon another with force or aggression. And I think that such an idiotic policy would put them right out of business when a smart business competed with them.

I'm not crazy about islam but this guy is just asking for legal trouble. It's illegal to discriminate against people based on religion which, at the current time, still includes islam.

C'mon here' you do not seriously believe your 'private business' entity gives you autonomy from the normal constraints of legal behaviour while at the same time subjecting you to those issues of licensing, zone compliance, safety provisions and taxation based upon the public's right to fair, safe and legal treatment? Or, do you indeed?

I believe a private business is just that, a private business. Unless that business initiates force upon another it is none of the government's or anyone else's businesses how it operates.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when this doofus gets a call from one of these orgs.:

Honoring Muslim American Veterans on Memorial Day*|*Craig Considine

If someone is really THAT hellbent on not having Muslims in a gun range, do they just briefly ignore the fact that they're in a GUN RANGE, surrounded by other people with loaded guns?

If someone tries to do something, there's like 5 or more people there to stop them.

Well they better get themselves on MSNBC and FOXNEWS and CNN more often.

General release on a WEBSITE is not actually doing anything.

Because I dont know about you but most americans are not going to ISNA.com for their muslim updates.

Your concept of a private business is only pertinent and applicable if doing business privately, as within a restricted membership of like minded people. It does not however apply to you making a profit from engaging the general public who deserve and have the right to be indemnified from your illegal behaviour.

Your type of description would have you being granted the unrestrained ability to sell your customers hand grenades by telling them they're actually little metal pineapples with just the pulling of the little cotter pin standing between them and the best pineapple juice they've ever tasted.

You, nor was anyone else on here, born during a time of unrestrained business practices, so you should just stop the nonsense of thinking you've got that right today. You don't, nor did at least four generations prior to you, for very good reasons.
