No. I don't support bigotry against Muslims, nor any other religion for that matter.

I shopped at one last night (even though I only bought a bottle of Pepsi), so no.

You are right.  The anti-Muslim sentiment is unreasonably high on this forum.  (though through voters, nobody's that extreme, yet...)

I doubt anyone would say yes. Well, maybe two people tops, but that's it.

If the business proudly displayed a photo of Bin Laden and had a "Death to America" banner over the door! Otherwise, of course not.

Of course not, not on the basis of their religion alone.

I often buy a Kebab or be out there with friends (I have also friends from Turkey) at the restaurant of Safet, the guy who went to school with my oldest brother. His restaurant is very popular here and i have no reason why i should boycott it just because he´s Muslim.

I think those places have already been firebombed.  Tongue

I find the amount of Republican turnout in this poll ... disturbing. To say the least.

I've never asked a store owner or business head if they were Muslim or not, I've never cared - and I've never assumed that because somebody appeared to be of arabian descent that they were a Muslim (which appears to be a common mistake these days).

Now, if I knew the profits on money I gave to a business establishment were being used for a purpose I disliked - that's a different question with a different answer.

Most Arab Americans are not Muslim, so you do you have a valid point there. But last night I bought a Pepsi at an African grocery in a Somali neighborhood (the only things they sell there that isn't traditional African food is soda) rather than buy the ridiculous overpriced things at the club I was seeing the show at, and Somalis are predominatenly Muslim, so I most likely did. Somewhat ironically there is a Somali-owned liquor store next door. The club is the only non-Somali owned thing in this neighborhood, which means that you never ever see non-punk white people in the area.

No

That would be racist, and I mean a real racists

Not like people on this forum saying I'm a racist b/c I believe in conservative values and people should speak the official language of the country that they want to be a part of.  If I were to move to Mexico, I would learn Spanish first, or at least make an effort to enough Spanish to get by.  That is not racist.

no.  My schools bible study meets at a restaurant for breakfast--it's owned by a Muslim who lowered the flag when Arafat died.
