I thought he meant that you have to be either "non-Christian and Arab" or "Muslim" (but any race) to be turned away.  Either than or "Muslim" is actually completely redundant (since it's a subset of "non-Christian").

On another topic, Israel dropped the mask once again : they are speeding up colonisation in response to Palestinian membership of the UNESCO, and US is taking part in the reprisal by lowering it's contribution to the agency.
That's going to be wonderful PR : the Palestinians struggle legally and that's US (and Israel but at this point those who didn't see this coming are fools) response?

Yeah, who didn't see that coming?  US pulling money out of UNESCO, that's pretty harsh.  Surely, there will be many forthright statements about this activity from the President and Secretary of State.  Surely.

For the record, this is because a federal law passed in 1992 prevents the United States from contributing any funding to anything that gives support or membership to the Palestine Liberation Organization. As UNESCO has recognized Palestine as a member, the PLO's mission is benefited, and thus the US must withdraw all funds until such a time that UNESCO expels Palestine or the law requiring the funding to be pulled is struck down.

Take that as you will.

He probably didn't think he was going to loose any business because all us dirty hippy liberal socialist athiest muslim commie nazi "Obamanations" hate guns. I am very much pro 2nd amendment? Does that mean I am a secret conservative?

The only 2nd amendment issue that Obama has actually weighed in on is handgun restriction by state and local governments. Everything else is based on his nebulous ties to anti-2nd amendment groups where there is no evidence of him supporting any specific anti-2nd amendment policy. He also did NOT vote to extend the assault weapon ban.

 I don't think his dislike of Obama is tied to any specific thing the man has done in regards to gun control.

I think I'm going to be sick. This story is two years old, but I feel a need to post it here because I was redirected to it and it's on topic.

17-year old Iraqi student murdered by her father and brothers for being infatuated with a British solider.

Her mother was also killed a few days after that. What the fuck possesses someone to do something like this?! Her father said that the justification was because the solider was "the enemy", and because she "made him look bad"? I literally cannot make any logical connection to this train of thought, even in a hypothetical manner.

It's quite frequent in these kind of situations. Look at what happened to the Lebensborn children in Norway

[scriver]

Honour killings. Way to frequent. Some research from just some week ago showed that Swedish police hardly investigate suspected honour murders, to make things worse. Because they're afraid of being judged as racists, or something. Which is stupid.

The murderer in the article seem to present it as a Muslim thing. To clarify, it's not - it's regional/cultural (geo-cultural, I guess?), and Christians in the region are just as bad as Muslims.

I'm sure some of you have already seen it by now, but there's a story going around about a firearm instructor in a little Texas town who refuses to instruct Muslims, "socialists", or anyone who voted for Obama.

If you are a socialist liberal and/or voted for the current campaigner-in-chief, please do not take this class.  You’ve already proven that you cannot make a knowledgeable and prudent decision as required under the law.  Also, if you are a non-Christian Arab or Muslim, I will not teach you this class.  Once again, with no shame, I am Crockett Keller.

I won't bother linking to the YouTube clip, you can find it yourself.  The important thing is that the Texas Department of Public Safety is likely to revoke his instruction license, since following through on such a statement (or clearly intending to) does violate the terms, obviously.  Just kinda funny.

This man gives southern people a bad name.

This is a cool article which people should read.  Because it is cool.

This may be odd, but my foremost thought about that story is that we really need to invent a better way to get rid of tattoos. They're far too useful a social tool for entrapment by criminal organizations.

[G-Flex]

Or easier-to-remove inks, for that matter. I know at least one company is working on that.

Of course, that doesn't help prison/gang tattoos or anything else that people want to be hard to remove.

[Rilder]

Edit: mispost

[G-Flex]

What does that have to do with this thread?

Gah wrong thread read the title wrong. =/

This probably doesn't get said nearly enough when it comes to the schenanegans that go down over there.

 As far as inks and wanting permanent ones, the FDA or other medical institutions could step in and require some minimum effective procedure for ink removal if such technology comes to pass. Thus you won't be able to sell tattoo ink that isn't this hard to remove anymore. Would be helpful in easing situations like this.

 Although the romantic heart-warming situation of two one-enemies desperately looking for a better life for the both of them, and embracing to do just that cannot be ignored.
