Resturant Owner Defends "Muslims Get Out" Sign, Says there was not enough room for "Extremists" - Polidicks

[url]http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/family-treats-restaurant-lonsdale-minnesota-dan-ruedinger-muslims-get-out-sign-a7321436.html[/url] [QUOTE]A Minnesota business owner who wrote "Muslims get out" on the sign outside his restaurant has defended the move, claiming that people were taking the sign "in the wrong way". Protesters of different faiths gathered by the Treats Family Restaurant with banners that read: “Love trumps hate” and attempted to pull down the letters from the board, which also advertised food and ice cream. Owner Dan Ruedinger in Lonsdale, Minnesota, told Fox News: "I didn’t want to put 'terrorists' on the board. So we were going to put 'Muslim extremists', but we didn’t have room on the board." "Now, people started taking it the wrong way, thinking we were against Muslims in general, and we’re not," he added. "Quite the opposite. We are not racists."[/QUOTE] [media]https://youtu.be/5EcFsKDzSdc[/media]

The majority of muslims are not extremists. You can't paint 1.7 billion people as terrorists.

"I put up a big sign saying 'Muslims get out' outside my restaurant, and for some reason people thought I was bigoted against Muslims! Isn't that crazy?!"

This is the reality of Trump's rhetoric and propaganda. His support of a bill that will allow religious discrimination is sickening and will lead to more situations like this.

I'm surprised he wasn't arrested for this - dude's a coward for promoting hate and violence before turning around and claiming he's been misrepresented.

Well yeah it's not racism, it's religious discrimination. But still I'm sure if it was a white muslim he wouldn't care nor notice, but if it was the suited stereotype, as in a brown skinned person who looks arabic he has in his head he'd push his hate, though that's just an assumption.

The holocaust didn't start with some guys say in a room saying "lets gas em" (some like the kaiser said that) it started out with dehumanisation and normalisation of discrimination. Then when food got short jews were the ones starved and then the killing became policy. Not saying there will be a holocaust but things will get worse for them.

Why would you put sign like that in first place?

Refusing to let an entire culture into your restaurant because "extremists" is very ironic...

This sounds like a case of this guy going "gas the kikes does not objectively mean kill the jews" and now he's trying to get out of it. His argument is flimsy at best if he really wanted he could've put "Extremists Get Out" and foregone the term "Muslims" if that was his true intent.

[QUOTE=Maadz;51108165]look, while racism is prominent against muslims right now, even here in the forums, i highly doubt it will EVER get as bad as the holocaust[/QUOTE] I highly doubt it too, but the comparison isn't invalid because of it.

[QUOTE=Maadz;51108165]look, while racism is prominent against muslims right now, even here in the forums, i highly doubt it will EVER get as bad as the holocaust[/QUOTE] In all likelihood I doubt it would ever get as bad as the Holocaust or Jim Crow, but that doesn't mean that it's something that should be tolerated.

"Jews are not wanted here."[/QUOTE] You are being historically revisionist. It's obvious that the sign was meaning to say "Extremist Jews not wanted here." Fun fact, "No Irish Need Apply" was also a condensed form of "Radicalized citizens of Irish descent will be interviewed on an egalitarian basis but statistically have lower chances of being hired." EDIT: And "Whites Only" signs were intended just for laundromats. /s

[QUOTE=Maadz;51108165]look, while racism is prominent against muslims right now, even here in the forums, i highly doubt it will EVER get as bad as the holocaust[/QUOTE] I didn't say it would be a holocaust. But the attitude didn't start out as "kill them all" it started out "they're parasites" "they're unclean" "I don't want them in my shop" It was only when the country faced famine (ie a crisis) that the jews were singled out to be the ones who should be starved and once the precedent was established that it was ok to kill the "subhumans" did the holocaust as we know it occur. It takes a toxic atmosphere and a crisis. We don't have a crisis but we're well on the way to have a toxic atmosphere.

Why not just put "Extremists Get Out"?

[QUOTE=Kaleidescoop;51108290]Why not just put "Extremists Get Out"?[/QUOTE] Because that's not what he meant. He's using it as an excuse to say "I should be allowed to be racist" [editline]e[/editline] There's also plenty of room for the word "extremists" there if you count the letters it puts you about halfway through the sign space with enough for "Get Out" on the same line. The 't' on "out" would line up with the 't' on "Sat".

"I was gonna write 'Arabs get out!' but I didn't have enough A's."

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;51108326]"I was gonna write 'Arabs get out!' but I didn't have enough A's."[/QUOTE] "'If you aren't white, fuck off,' but I'm only thinking about the children."

Couldn't he also have used the empty final row to put the "get out" while Muslim extremists is above it?

I love it when people compare the antisemitism to Islamophobia. I want to remind everyone that the Jews aren't a bunch of fucking savages that just go and stab people in the will of their God, this just doesn't happen. Most Jews are secular, and they were also mostly secular back in Nazi Germany as well. They didn't try to convert people, they didn't threaten people to convert, they didn't oppress women, they didn't get offended at any offence towards their religion and tried to silence people that did. Comparing Antisemitism to Islamophobia is the most stupid thing you can do. There's a reason why Regressives like the Palestinians but hate Israelis/Jews, they think the Palestinians are brown pixie dust faeries that can do no harm and if they do it's all justified because they're being oppressed so everything they do is positive, and the Israelis/Jews are white colonialists supremacists. There is never going to be peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis, because their cultures are fundamentally different, the Israelis created a first world country out of a piece of shit land that the Palestinians weren't intellectually equipped enough to make use of, it couldn't even support the Palestinian population, they had women rights since the country was founded, it's the most Progressive country in the whole middle east, in regards to Education, Women rights, LGBT rights, you name it. and what did the Palestinians achieve since they 'became' a people? Nothing. They threat their own people like shit, and everyone around them like shit, Throw homosexual from roofs. The future of the Palestinians is looking very irrelevant with each passing day, once the Israelis are fed up, there will be no more Palestinian savages.

That's not how that works?

Anyways, on the topic here I'm surprised I haven't seen any Islamophobic stuff going down in my state. Lots of homophobic stuff but little to none on the Islamophobia.
