Rights group asks for probe into shooting range that refuses to cater to Muslims

[We Keep Receipts 9,238]

A Muslim civil rights group is asking the Department of Justice to investigate an Arkansas shooting range whose owner recently declared it a "Muslim-free zone."

In a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Jenifer Wicks, a lawyer for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), writes that the declaration is "a violation of federal laws prohibiting racial and religious discrimination" and "will inevitably result in a hostile environment for ordinary Muslims in Arkansas."

"This is not a coffee and donut shop," Jan Morgan, owner of the Gun Cave Indoor Shooting Range in Hot Springs, Ark., wrote in an online post last month. "This is a live fire indoor shooting range ... Why would I want to rent or sell a gun and hand ammunition to someone who aligns himself with a religion that commands him to kill me?"

I thought Muslims go to the throat cutting range. My bad.

I wonder how many VJ members would go here to shoot? I'm wagering at least 2 members would have lifetime memberships...

Morgan is just another reason why inbreeding must remain illegal.

Arkansas racist, bigoted and xenophobic?

Say it isn't so.

What a shithole

Interesting that the NRA and the gun lobby are not all up in arms protesting against what is a clear violation of the 2nd amendment of Muslims in Arkansas... It is also noteworthy, and yet predictable, that the usual suspects should refrain from posting their pro-gun comments here...

doubt it, what's the fun in going to the shooting range if you can't target practice?

This case will probably end up like the cupcake one. When you open a public business you open yourself to discrimination and lawsuits from so many angles. The insurance companies and lawyers have nothing to lose so they stand to profit much more.

To be sure, Civil Rights have a knack for getting in the way of bigotry...

You make it sound like Muslims in America are like real Americans. You should know better.

So LIB what's your stance on this, should Muslims be allowed to patronize this establishment?

I keep forgetting that real Murkhans must be white and christian, just like god and Jesus their selfs...

I'd go there if it was convenient for me. I'm sure I don't share the same beliefs as many business owner's establishments I frequent.
