A most excellent point from iOwnTheWorld [High Praise!]:
Has anybody asked the question, “What if Chick-fil-A had been Chick-fal-Afel?” And what if instead of Dan Cathy expressing his Christian beliefs during a Baptist radio interview, it had been Omar expressing his Muslim beliefs during a CAIR radio interview? The difference is this… Omar would have been given the keys to the cities of and by the mayors who closed their doors to Dan Cathy!

Maybe Christian businessmen could inoculate themselves by partnering with a member of religion of peace.
“You don’t have to do anything, Omar, just let us put your name on our letterhead as, say, VP in charge of public relations. That should do it.”
“I get free chicken?”
“All you can eat!”
“Done!”
No doubt Omar would have met or exceeded Chicago standards.
The mayor of Boston (who’s IQ is somewhere around 60) actually did give part of the city to a bunch of
Muslimsterrorists to build a Mosque.You only have to separate ‘church and state’ when the ‘church’ doesn’t threaten to blow you up.
Darn, Nomo beat me to it. On the surface it might seem like Tom Mennino is a hypocrite but he’s also the mayor who didn’t want port – o- pottys at a parade because people might use them as weapons.
No really, he actually said that.
I think their comments might have sounded something like “Omar is so courageous for expressing his deeply held personal religious views…now please don’t blow anything up.”
