Dont want to ring up the order? OK, you're fired.

Simple solution. Everyone who is close should go and get some pork until target has to deal with the issue.

STOP ISLAMIFESTATION NOW!

By their own logic, since there are pigs on the earth, they should all jump off into space at escape velocity.

Can anybody explain why the customers are not boycotting this store until it goes out of business?

TARGET HIRED HER FOR WHAT REASON?

Nuts.

Would she ring up a football (you know, a pig skin)?

Target may not have much of a choice in the matter. Muslims have successfully sued for accommodations in other places. Target may end up banning pork. And alcohol. And...

How about a Michael Moore movie? The man is pictured on every one - and he is a pig.

Time to write another letter that goes to Minneapolis. And one to corporate.

So who is behind this stuff in Minesota and Michigan.
Your average muslim, conditioned to SUBMIT (as Islam means submission) doesn't have a whole lot of get up and go.

Who's the mufti-poofti imam behind this activism?

But then, this really isn’t about the pork.

Bingo.

So vegetarian cashiers get to avoid all meat products too?

Do vegans get to avoid swiping honey and jello?

Do Atkins dieters get out of swiping bread?

But then, I'm not a Perpetual Victim.

What if it was pork sandwiched between 2 Korans? Would she ring it or not?

Noisier and noisier noisy phase of the invasion.

Here's a case where muslims got over $50,000 apiece and their jobs back, with prayer-time priveliges, because they company wouldn't initially give them prayer time off.

Iranian official lashes out at Hollywood movie "300" for insulting Persian civilization

An Iranian official on Sunday lashed out at the Hollywood movie "300" for insulting the Persian civilization, local Fars News Agency reported.

Javad Shamqadri, an art advisor to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, accused the new movie of being "part of a comprehensive U.S. psychological war aimed at Iranian culture", said the report.

Shamqadri was quoted as saying "following the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Hollywood and cultural authorities in the U.S. initiated studies to figure out how to attack Iranian culture," adding "certainly, the recent movie is a product of such studies."

The movie's effort wound be fruitless, because "values in Iranian culture and the Islamic Revolution are too strongly seated to be damaged by such plans", said the Iranin official.

If you "can not handle pork" you should not be hired as a cashier in a store that sells pork.

Th=th-th-th-that's all folks!

Will America wake up before it is too late?
I am getting worried. I have to go clean my 1911.

I think it's obvious that one or more mosques or jihad front organizations are pressuring their members to force their religious practices on the workplace. If Kroger can force its Christian pharmacists to dispense the morning after pill, surely Target can force its Muslim cashiers to scan bacon and beer. Those who object can find other employment.

Even a molecule of pigs blood will bar them from going to the place they call paradise; which we Chistians and Jews really know is HELL.

#8 Earthtomoonbat.

Rather than caving in to what amounts to an unreasonable demand, let Target fight this in court and see what happens when the issue goes to a jury of its peers.

My tolerance of your religion does not require me to maintain your employ in a job you cannot do. Its not discrimination to fire someone based on their inability to do what they are paid to do. (And its not up to the Target employees to decide what their own job description is, or to arbitrarily decide one day that its changed).

If this woman refuses to touch pork products why can't she wear gloves? Why can't she find a nice Halal grocery to work in?

It would be nice of Target to move her to a non-pork handling job within the same store, though they certainly shouldn't feel obligated to.

NOT incidentally, this whole thing stinks. How come all of a sudden this is an issue? Haven't Muslims been working in these stores for decades? It would be one thing if these people were new hires and legitimately didn't know what was expected of them, but that appears not to be the case here.

Go read the comments in the link Charles provided:

I had a similar situation at Super Walmart in Shakopee. The cashier mustered up the most condescending look that she could, only to find out that the item was actually made from turkey.

As soon as the cab drivers started, I knew this was coming.

Don't EAT the pizza, just scan it...

There is NOTHING in Islam that stops her from scanning a cardboard box filled with pizza.

The no- pork rule is about EATING. It comes directly from the jewish practice. Which does get real squeemish about pork blood as well.

BUT A SEALED BOX? Nope. As the Lizard master says, it ain't about the pork.

I wonder who the 5th district's congressional representative is.

Actually, I don't wonder.

This is just insane. What aren't these people not offended about?

I scan the pizza myself, pay, go to the manager and very loudly proclaim I will NEVER shop at his fucking Mosque again! These shit better stop before it gets started.

I used to run a meat shop and had a Muslim meat cutter working for me. He could cut pork with the best of them.
Took him out for pizza and beer. Would not eat pork on pizza but sure did enjoy the beer. Good guy too.

Earth2moonbat,

It's not a privilege for Muslims alone.

The Civil Rights Act as amended in 1972 obligates businesses to make "reasonable" accommodation of employee's religious needs.

Typically the courts give the employers a wide latitude and it's hard to win a case, but it is the law.

About 30 years ago I initiated legal action (in my case through the Civil Service) against the Post Office for firing me for refusing the work on the Jewish Sabbath whenthey hired me for a summer position. Since the Post Office works 365 days a year, they could have assigned me to work on Sundays instead of Saturday. Instead they fired me, stonewalled the hearing process, lied, and then two days before the decisive hearing offered me a settlement to keep it from establishing legal precedent.

My favorite part of the incident was a little dog and pony show the regional superintendent put on for my benefit. I was told to report to his office. There were two other summer employees in his office and he kept saying that it was unfair to them to let me have Saturday off. The superintendent was black and when I told him he was violating my civil rights the guy exploded at me and started blustering about his wife being an officer in the NAACP and I had no business talking about civil rights.

More Minneapolis Muslim News. The six non-flying imams have filed suit.

MINNEAPOLIS - Six Islamic leaders who were removed from a US Airways flight in November are suing the airline for discrimination.

The imams were returning from a religious conference in November when they were taken off a plane in Minneapolis, handcuffed and questioned. They had prayed on their prayer rugs in the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport before the flight, and after they boarded, a passenger passed a note to a flight attendant.

When the men returned to the airport the next day, they said, the airline refunded their fare but refused to sell them another ticket.

US Airways Group Inc. has said prayer was never the issue. A passenger reported overhearing anti-U.S. statements, and the men got up and moved around the airplane, the airline said.

The men said they had done nothing that should have been suspicious.

US Airways released a statement saying it hadn't seen the lawsuit, filed Monday, but that its initial position had not changed: that its employees "acted appropriately, and we continue to back the actions of our crew and ground employees in this case."

and this is what happens when your muslim population hits 5% imagine 10 or 25.

Just think, if Muslims all had jobs at the local hog farm, none of them would ever have to actually work. Just pray all day and bitch about the work environment.

And about that burkha, which was probably just a hijab (most folks don't know the difference). Honestly, as long as her face is showing I don't care if her hair is covered. But if Target requires employees to wear red tops and khaki pants or skirts, does her hijab have to be red?

Those of us who are able to shop at a Target should head on down today, or in the next couple days, get some pork product, go to a muslim cashier, wait for another cashier, then demand to see the manager. Let Target HQ be flooded with messages from Target managers all over the US. Maybe then they'll get it.

#8 Earth2moonbat

Target may not have much of a choice in the matter. Muslims have successfully sued for accommodations in other places.

Sending over a manager to do an employee's job for them is not "reasonable accomodation."

I don't understand al this talk about shopping at that particular Target in order to frustrate the employee and (hopefully) shame the manager into action, as if increasing a store's daily financials were punishment.

Instead, we should be discussing NOT shopping at that Target store, or any other until Corporate has a chance to "clarify" their policy on employees not doing their jobs, disrespecting customers, refusing to follow the dress code (kakhi slacks & red shirt?) and substituting a black sack and face mask. It's important that store managers hear precisely why you, as a customer, are walking out of that store and instead patronizing the competition.

I don't deal well with people in hoods, be they Klan or Muslim or just plain old burglars.

Questions for direct Examination

Ms. Burqa, how long have you been working at Target?

When you took the job, were you aware that handling packaged pork products was part of your job requirement? Did you inquire if this was a job requirement? If so, what was management's response?

When did you find out that handling pork products was part of your job requirement?

How long did you work at Target before you realized that you were handling pork products?

How long did you handle the pork products before you decided not to do so any longer?

Did you ever request that you be excused from that responsibility from management? When? What was their response?

Is there any religious or community figure who has asked you NOT to handle these products? When did that happen?

etc. . .

This would be a fun line of questioning sure to elicit many wonderful answers.

Imams sue over removal from plane
The six Muslims were barred from a flight after passengers became alarmed.
By Richard Meryhew, Star Tribune
Last update: March 12, 2007 – 11:59 PM

Six Muslim imams ordered off a US Airways flight at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport last November have filed a discrimination lawsuit against the airline and the Metropolitan Airports Commission, claiming they were removed from the plane because of their race and religion.
In a 38-page document filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis, the plaintiffs said they were "horrified and humiliated" after police removed them, under pilot's orders, from the plane in front of dozens of other passengers Nov. 20 "as if they were criminals."
...(cut)...
Passenger accounts differ

Pauline Klemmer, a passenger on the flight that day, said Monday that the imams' account of what happened is "a total untruth."

Klemmer said she believes the men deliberately acted out as part of a "repeated attempt" to weaken security and intimidate airline employees.

"They weren't the victim," Klemmer said. "If we had been afraid of them because of their race, or them loudly praying prior to them getting on the plane, we would not have gotten on the plane, and we did. They chose to make an obvious big scene."

Rita Snelson, of Maplewood, who also was on the flight and sitting near several of the imams, agreed.

"I can't explain it, but it was like they were definitely trying to raise suspicion," she said. "The pilot did what he had to do, and we're very honored by that. I told the airline afterward, 'Thank you for watching over us.' "

#68 Ronnie Schreiber

Frankly, I don't think they should have accommodated you, either. Look at the precedent that's been set. Where's it going to stop? I'm not going to feel sorry for you if you end up getting injured by someone who snuck a bomb into a place under a burka that the company had to allow the employee to wear. The problem is that when the word "reasonable" finds it's way into laws, it will eventually end up being applied unreasonably. Guaranteed.

a cashier wearing a burka looked uncomfortable when I showed up at the cash register with a frozen pepperoni pizza.

How do you look uncomfortable in a burka?

Spot on.

Target is a spineless corporation. They aren't interested in principle, but in profit.

With enough complaints from customers, Target may come to the conclusion that fighting a few Muslims in court and enduring a few baseless charges of Islamophobia is cheaper than losing customers.

The Civil Rights Act as amended in 1972 obligates businesses to make "reasonable" accommodation of employee's religious needs.

Question is, is this a legitamate religious requirment or a power grab? Other Muslims say that you can drive a taxi with beer in it or handle a pizza, you just can't consume them yourself.

Online poll for the Imams suing Northwest Airlines.

For the Imans 95
For the airline 1493

If I lived in that neighborhood, I'd round up about 20 people and we would all take turns getting in that cretin's checkout line with a pack of bacon...space them out so that she's repeatedly forced to go to plan B. Then we'd go back tomorrow and do it again...and again.

I'd have to violate one of my principles, though...I haven't set foot in a Target since they threw the Salvation Army off the front porch.

There are so many thoughts I had when I read this, many of which are already posted here, but I have to vent anyway...

What bothers me most is that if not for LGF, I would probably never hear this story. This should be front page news anywhere that values American freedoms...can you imagine if the tables were turned? If it were, say, a Catholic who refused to ring up condoms, or meat on a Friday? Or a member of ANY other religion refusing to do ANYTHING their job required, and then blamed it on their faith? It would never be tolerated, the person would be fired - and members of other religions would ACCEPT that, understanding that if they couldn't do the job, they shouldn't be paid for doing nothing...but as was mentioned here several times, a Muslim geting fired for something like this would bring the lawsuits (or worse) down so fast we'd be crushed by them.

#47 SevoGuy- I was trying to remember before I read your post... I THOUGHT there was something in the past about Target punishing an employee for wearing a crucifix, is that what you're referring to? If I'm remembering right and that's what happened, then there should absolutely be shouting from the rooftops over this. Christians can't wear a small piece of jewelry that has no affect on anyone, but Muslims can refuse to perform duties of their job? On what freaking planet is that OK? I know, Planet Islam - but that doesn't make me any less queasy about it.

Do the MN topless bars have to hire Burka Babes now? What is the world coming too?

Not at the King of Diamonds. I mean, not that I've heard.

I am okay with this. All they have to do is to ask the neighboring cashier, a manager or whoever to handle it.

Frequently when buying "adult beverages" the cashier has to call for help. Are they Islamic? Nope, they are under 21 years of age.

This is different from the taxi drivers refusing service to those carrying adult beverages. Save the fire for that case.

Now, the cashier tried to prevent the transaction all together then I would have a problem.

I agree; forget the pork. It's a distraction. It's what they want you think this is all about, because it seems to strike at something really primal (BBQ) in a lot of people.

This is about nothing but abusing our democratic laws and institutions to slowly impose an intolerant, racist, totalitarian ideology they want every human being on earth to submit to.

It's called evil and it bugs the hell out of us that more free people don't want to see it that way.

I worked as a cashier part-time to pay part of my college tuition. I was diagnosed with asthma and I get very sick whenever I catch a bad cold.

#90 Earth2moonbat - Sorry to have to disagree with you on this one, but I think Ronnie Schreiber was within his rights to ask to NOT have to work on HIS Sabbath. He wasn't refusing to work a full work week, nor was he refusing to serve certain customers.
In my experience (admittedly in NYC where there is a very significant Jewish population) it was fairly common practice to allow religious Jews to take what time off was necessary for them to follow their religion's tenets. For example, almost every Jewish person I know (including both of my ex-wives) would not work at least the first day of Rosh Hoshanna, nor after dark on Fridays and not at all on Passover.
I only know two Christians who refuse to work on Sundays, Easter and Christmas and their employers said "OK, we'll just take it (the days/time off) from your personal days or vacation days" and many employers don't do that, either.

Charles, this is a bit disturbing. Your quote from the linked article says:

a cashier wearing a burka

I went to the link and at the moment it says:

But he was a little vague on the details, so I decided to check it out myself. At the Target store on E. Lake Street, a cashier wearing a hijab looked uncomfortable when I showed up at the cash register with a frozen pepperoni pizza. She immediately called for help, and another employee rang up the pizza and placed it in the basket.

There's a substantial difference, and as I mentioned earlier I (and probably most people) don't really mind if someone covers her hair, as long as her face is exposed. Has the original article been changed? Inquiring minds want to know.

Once again Americans are left reacting to events being orchestrated and produced by others with them setting the terms. We are no longer the country that used to say Welcome, now become an American or leave. I remember seeing the bumper stickers when I was a kid saying Love it or leave it. Back then it was source of pride now it something that is supposed to be a shiled of shame. It doesn't matter whether you are addressing the illegal immigrant issue or the stupid practice of shari'a.
I have seen one women wearing a burqua in a store recently. I went up to her and told her I was so sorry she was having to live as a slave. Her eyes showed disbelief or fear but I suggested that if she could contact a civil rights group because slavery is illegal in this country.
She just walked away, puzzled I am sure, but I believe in messing with them before they mess with me.
It is time for those who profess to be Americans to go on the offensive. I am tired of taking the crap. There are means of making a point, just like they do without resorting to physical measures.
Nobody will tolerate a 2 year olds temper tantrum very long without swatting their backside, well most people won't, and we shouldn't be toleranting this behavior either.
Here in GA we have clowns taking pictures of vehicles tags of vehicles that have stickers offensive to Muslims and posting them on the web with notes encouraging other believers to go after us. Mine hasn't appeared on the web yet but it ain't from lack of trying. So far most of them appear to be in Gwinnett County a suburb north and east of ATL proper.

"Can't wait for Muslim firefighters to refuse to enter a burning home with reports of people trapped as there's a mezzuzah on the front door."

I f they house has females in it, Muslim 'firemen' will simply block the doors because of their improper dress. Sharia calls for them to be burnt alive for such indiscretion.

I think it is about time the government encouraged the dismissal of employees that refuse to serve the public at large. The privileged status of Muslims is becoming a civil rights issue.

Give me a break. We observe Kashrut, and if I were working in Target, and had her job? I would just do what I had to, and handling pork products would not bring down a thunderbolt on my head, fergoodness' sake.

I wonder what members of the cult of islam did when pork insulin was in use..die rather than inject it? In their honor I will pat a cute little piggie on the head when we take any of the grandkids to a petting zoo.

In Judaism? Pork and beef insulin were used by all Jews who needed it to treat diabetes...it is a matter of one's health being the only consideration if there is no alternative. On Yom Kippur? I cannot fast, as I must take 3 shots of insulin/day. I eat only enough to cover the dose. Now insulin is made from recombinant DNA, so there is no problem. That is why when useless tools like Mary Tyler Moore scream out for PETA, I spit..she is a Type I diabetic, and had to use pork or beef insulin until around 1982 or so.

We see more and more cult of islam females working as cashiers at a store called Fairway Market when we go to Brooklyn or LI to see our kids...I will watch the next time we go to see what these snotty cashiers, who have, in general, an attitude problem do...they are so hateful..that dagger look? Feh.

Those of us who are able to shop at a Target should head on down today, or in the next couple days, get some pork product, go to a muslim cashier, wait for another cashier, then demand to see the manager.

Unfortunately I can't do this, because all the cashiers at my local Targets are illegal Hispanics.

/They're starting to look good to me.

Is it time to start a clearinghouse of bag hag sightings at food markets so we can all go pay a pork-filled visit?

Just like they are organized in their attempts to test our resolve, we should get up off our damn computers and get organized to resist.

We are Americans, dammit. When did we lose our will to live like it?

FYI:

Minnesota has the largest (or 2nd largest) population of Muslims from Somalia.

I know. I live here.

Why do we allow a large population of Muslims into this country instead of let's say, uh, East Europeans who really would like come here a live the American Dream? Thank the Democrats and President Johnson who changed the US Immigration policy to include more diversity in the US population. The concept of "Diversity Is God" goes back to the mid-sixties.

Back when the Minneapolis cab driver story broke I made a joke about Muslims refusing to deliver pepperoni pizza. Who knew that it would become reality so quickly.

In calif, Target banned the Salvation army and the bell ringin kettle-keeper at Christmas time. But the got their head handed to them,iirc.

#131 Dave the...: I haven't either, and I'm sure you're right. I wanted to point out the change to Charles because accuracy is important, and there is a significant difference between a burkha and a hijab. Although either way, the cashier's behavior is out of line.

Not shopping at Target is the best option but if you do shop there always load the pork first on the belt and if they wont handle the pork walk out the door leaving the full cart to be restocked.

I wonder what members of the cult of islam did when pork insulin was in use..die rather than inject it?

That is exactly what some of them were doing. They also use inferior synthetic artificial organs rather than use pork-tissue ones that more closely conform to human tissues and have better and longer survival rates.

Many nursing mothers, pregnant women, and newborns also suffer from Vitamin D deficiencies because of the women's insufficient exposure to the sun due to being covered up all the time -- this in desert lands where sunlight is so plentiful that ... oh hell do I even have to finish the sentence.

Can you imagine doing this to your kids? Oh well, Allahu akbar and all that!

Here's one silver lining in this cloud:

We won't have to worry about Muslims taking away even more jobs from Americans in the meat packing plants.

(I know that the illegal immigrants from Mexico are already doing that. But if the wave of immigrant Muslims, who are mostly legal, entered the meat packing plant jobs line, wages in that industry would go even lower.)

Since when are a cashier's moral judgments allowed to demean a customer, which is what this is. She's saying, "What you put in your mouth is dirty, you dirty kuffir." It's a total lack of respect and civility to the customer and should be dealt with accordingly.

Anyone ever hear of a "bona fide occupational qualification"? Sheeze!

Great rule book

Does anyone else just want these people to choke to death, crushed and smothered in a vat of pork? Spaghetti carbonara? French pork lardons? Bacon bits? Andouille jambalaya?

Any other suggestions? My imagination seems somewhat limited today. Can anybody think of a soupy pork concoction suitable for drowning moms-in-a-bag?

"But then, this really isn’t about the pork."

let's assume it IS about the pork - - chuck makes an interesting point in that the pepperoni pizza is well packaged in plastic and cardboard... so, if the packaging doesn't properly insulate a muslim from pork "contamination", then by that logic wouldn't almost every object a muslim could come into contact with throughout a typical kafir day, including infidel monkey people, be treated as if they were permanently contaminated from contact, ingestion or even lust for pork? theoretically and theologically, muslims can never be sure and therefore should not be working ANYWHERE in the western world OR leave their homes upon immigration... for the sake of religious purity; their very souls are at stake.

yes, we should accommodate their pious needs and legislate accordingly.

The comments at the original post are interesting. I love this one:

#38 LuckyDog
Good point. I also wonder whether this oh, so "devout" muslim also refuses to swipe credit cards... after all, charging interest is haraam.

[purely rhethorical, of course. As Charles said, it's not about the pork.]

I once quit a job because managers asked me to do something that I felt was against my Christian beliefs. I respect their right to do the same. If you're going to stand up for your beliefs, quit your job over it.

I'm not surprised Target has surrendered in this case. They are, after all, owned by the French.

Why is purity such an OCD for Muslims? They don't have to wear jihab, they just have to dress modestly. They can handle pork, they just should eat it.

Taken to a psychotic nth degree, they shouldn't be in the same country as pork. Which is the sort of overall aim of their clerics. Total sharia law - and piece by piece they will get it.

#123 realwest

Let me be clear. It's not a problem to accommodate Jews, and that should be done informally. But look at the machinery that's been set into motion. Do you not think that eventually, with enough muslims running to the EEOC and filing suits and getting settlements, that all of these accommodations, from refusing to handle pork, alcohol, and God knows what else, to wearing full facial garb will become their "civil right"?

It's the machinery that I'm objecting to, not reasonable accommodations for Jews or any other religious minority. I don't think anyone had the slightest inkling of what they were putting in place when they passed these laws requiring "reasonable" accommodation. You know as well as I do that what's absurd and atrocious today becomes reasonable in the courts tomorrow.

You just can't give them that much attitude. These things will all come to pass. Probably within 10 years. I'll bet you any amount of money.

so, if the packaging doesn't properly insulate a muslim from pork "contamination", then by that logic wouldn't almost every object a muslim could come into contact with throughout a typical kafir day

I've read that astonishing percentages of U.S. one-dollar bills have traces of cocaine. I think it's fair to assume that most bills of all denominations have been used to purchase fast food and possibly bacon cheeseburgers, and thus have come in contact with bacon cheeseburgers, or fingers greasy with bacon cheeseburger, rendering (hee hee!) any job involving cash haram.

Here's a case where muslims got over $50,000 apiece and their jobs back, with prayer-time priveliges, because they company wouldn't initially give them prayer time off.

They are legally privileged.

They are not legally privileged. The problem in that particular case is that the employer hired them knowing they were Muslim and agreed from the get-go to accomodate their prayer needs - until he decided not to accomodate it.

Can't do that. There is a generally accepted principle in employment law of past behaviour and behaviour towards others setting a precedent.

Say, lets pack bacon slices when we fly

That will get you pulled off to the side for additional searching. Happened to me the last time I tried to take Iowa chops to New England...the TSA swabbed my pork chops for explosive residue.

from citypages.com:

In 1994 St. Paul police used the law to ticket a Muslim woman who refused to remove the veils covering her face after police requested that she do so. In the furor that followed, the misdemeanor charges against her were dropped. The following year Sen. Allan Spear (DFL-Minneapolis) authored a bill that modified the existing law to allow people to conceal their faces for religious reasons. According to Spear the law dates to 1923, when it was first enacted to combat the Ku Klux Klan. The senator says that during the 1995 debate about the measure another lawmaker raised the issue of wearing ski masks in winter, which prompted the addition of the weather exemption. Another exemption for people whose faces were obscured because of medical treatments was added that year.

DFL is "Democratic Farmer Labor Party." What a surprise.

Kerry Launches Global Warming Book Tour

(CNSNews.com) - Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts kicked off a 10-city global warming book tour on Monday, promoting a cause whose most high-profile advocate, Democrat Al Gore, also lost a presidential race to George. W. Bush.

"This Moment on Earth: Today's New Environmentalists and Their Vision for the Future" by Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, will be released on March 26.

"As a society, we are sliding dangerously backwards in almost every sector of environmental concern," Kerry said in a statement about the book. "Even caring about the environment has been marginalized in recent years by a calculated assault from special interests.

"Teresa and I are writing this book because we share a sense of urgency about the need to reinvigorate grassroots action which takes these concerns into the ballot box," he said. "This book shows what a lot of individuals are doing in common sense, practical and yet visionary ways, in the hope that their example can once again galvanize Americans into action."

Kerry in 2004 lost a presidential election to Bush. Four years earlier, Vice President Al Gore found himself in the same position following the closest and arguably most controversial contests in American history.

Gore has remained in the spotlight since 2000 largely due to his campaigning on climate change, and last month, his documentary on global warming -- "An Inconvenient Truth" -- won an Academy Award.

For Brian Darling, director of U.S. Senate relations at the conservative Heritage Foundation, both Kerry and Gore are "alarmists" when it comes to predictions about climate change and its potential effects.

"[Kerry] talks about the environment and has done so in his Senate campaigns and a little bit during his presidential election battle, but obviously, this is an issue that's very controversial, and Al Gore and John Kerry seem to be on the alarmist side of the global warming debate," Darling told Cybercast News Service.

"They are basically giving the American people the impression that if nothing is done, our world will have cataclysmic climate change, which I don't believe the science proves that theory out," he said.

"If you look at the science and a whole lot of what's been said about global warming is that it will have a minor to [minimal] effect on global climate change.

"Even if it has some sort of an effect, there's not much governments can do to change that," Darling added. "There is only so much human beings can do because human beings only have a certain amount of effect on why there is incremental climate change."

He questioned Kerry's motives in writing the book.

"Maybe he's going in a different direction because he sees he's not going to have a chance to be president anytime in the near future," Darling said. "He had his shot, and maybe he's going to do something similar to Al Gore and work on one issue and trumpet one issue that he cares about.

"Maybe this is an attempt for him to get some high-level position in the next Democratic administration, considering he's not running for higher office," he added.

For his part, Gore praised the Massachusetts senator's book.

"John Kerry and Teresa Heinz have written a book that is a profound challenge to all of us but contains, in the examples of the men and women who are fighting the great fight for a better future for our environment, the clear hope that if we can embrace their resourcefulness, determination and essential patriotism, we will prevail," he said in a statement.

"Both John and Teresa have been long-time leaders in the battle to save the Earth's environment," Gore stated. "Way back when it was not all fashionable, indeed when very few people in the world were even paying attention to it, both John and Teresa were providing outstanding and courageous leadership."

No, but I will admit to a very strong desire to drive out to Target, fill up a shopping cart clear past the brim with pork in all guises, deliberately pick out a hijab-wearing cashier... and leave the cart in the aisle if they refuse to ring it.

In that vein, our local WalMart several years back had at least one muslim cashier. (He was from India but his name was mohamed so I guess I can assume he was not Hindu.) He rang up pork pretty regularly.

Did you see this in the comments?

I never stop laughing at the inferior infidels as we cause them anger as we slowly take over their land. And you are so ignorant you don't even see it happening. Seriously, you don't deserve a country.

The superintendent was black and when I told him he was violating my civil rights the guy exploded at me and started blustering about his wife being an officer in the NAACP and I had no business talking about civil rights.

Oops. You told a Black man that his was not the only race in the world that doesn't always get fair treatment. Many blacks don't like to hear that. They've been raised to believe that only their grievances have weight.

That's what I'm talking about.

I grew up in a German working class neighborhood. Us kids rejected Polka and leedenhosen (not that there's anything wrong with that) and embraced Elvis, The Beatles and Newport cigarettes.

So, somebody might say, "But being German isn't a religion. Muslim is a religion."

I forgot to mention: I was raised German-Catholic. Which meant no meat on Fridays! But I still worked at the hamburger joint and served burgers every Friday night to the "non-Catholic Protestant heretics who will go to hell for leaving the Church" customers.

American Muslim leaders say, "Agitate, agitate, agitate."

At the Target store on E. Lake Street, a cashier wearing a burka looked uncomfortable when I showed up at the cash register with a frozen pepperoni pizza.

No, but I will admit to a very strong desire to drive out to Target, fill up a shopping cart clear past the brim with pork in all guises, deliberately pick out a hijab-wearing cashier... and leave the cart in the aisle if they refuse to ring it

Take along a blind friend with a seeing eye dog.

No, that's not what happened. They were on an 8-hour shift schedule, which was able to accommodate the prayer time, and they went to a 12-hour shift schedule, that wasn't. This wasn't because the management just decided to change schedules for no reason, it was because the majority of the (non-muslim) workers wanted it.

The majority of non-muslim worker count for something, too, don't they? Maybe not in your world.

Uh, a brief historical observation. Anyone heard of the Sepoy Mutiny? Muslims and Hindu soldiers of the East India Company revolted when they confronted with having to load Enfield rifles - they had to bite the end off of a greased paper cartridge before ramming down the rifle barrel. The Hindus had been told it was cow fat - the Muslims heard it was pig fat - anathema to both sects. In reality, it was vegetable shortening. But neither the Hindus nor Muslims believed it. Consequently, this was the spark that set off long simmering anti-British hatred and hundreds were killed (in particularly nasty ways) by the rioting troops and others who joined in the fray.

Sounds a lot like someone is stirring the pot to see if they can get it to boil over.

209 just a grunt Et tu, Mr. Yon? He's been hanging around with too many reporters, I'm afraid.

My husband says that things are going better in both locations in the last few weeks. The opinion from his (all GOP, all O-4 and above) office is that it's a good thing that the GOP lost so much in 2006. Bush seems to finally have gotten the "shit or get off the pot" message.

Let's hope he's just not going for another big show of force before he gets all compassionate and gives them another hudna.

I don't recall Jews unwilling to touch pork. This needs to be stopped right now with these muslims. You come to this country you adapt to OUR ways or leave. If I lived in that area I'd go with pork through her lane and if she called for someone else i'd complain to the manager. If the manager does nothing that store needs protests. I am going to write Target now to complain. people confuse a hijab and burka. Burka is that bee keeper suit they wear in afghanistan. Hijab is that scarf they wear. Most of the bitches are so ugly whose looking at themm anyway.

I've been to that Target many times when I lived in South Mpls. I think half the cashiers were muslim.

Never really had a problem.

This is just insane. What aren't these people not offended about?

Killing non-mudslimes.

Or better yet, just see if she'll scan a book by Michael Moore.

Is there a pattern emerging here? Mad at the US for not electing them president, so they want to take revenge with this GW madness?

I really hate rich liberals who won't mind their own business.

East Lake Street Target is Muslim-Sharia-Central with the Cedar Riverside Towers a mile away to the north...you should see the sex-division between the cloaked and clad woman and the men with their cell phone hipsters...Never seen them jabber so much on the light rail that connects both places...

Maybe it is time to openly start carrying pork rinds or sides of bacon in my travels through the neighbor to keep the mus-critters at bay?

It seems to keep going back to the same problem, inability or lack of a national identity. There is loyality only to whomever is in your direct sphere of influence such as the local shiekh or warlord and anything beyond that is mute. I don't have any suggestions for that, the normal tact is to give a group of people some sort of shared goal to achieve with which to build unity but the Middle Eastern or should I say the Islamic mind is incapable of this. Before there was Islam they did have nationalistic pride. I often wonder if renaming Baghdad to Babylon would help turn back the clock to before Islam.
And this should serve as a warning to western countries that this is the fate all will suffer if you loose your pride in your country.

I read that in WW2 in the Phillipines we were having trouble with the the muzlims and when captured, we wrapped them in pork skin and shot them with bullets dipped in lard. The trouble stopped.

A myth.
Using a plain .45 is more than sufficient.

Are you questioning Kerry and Gores' patriotism?
They were in Vietnam ya know!

A possible scenario:

The Muslim clerk goes home and says, "MOM! I'm not going to wear this stupid scarf anymore. It was so embarrassing at work, today. Gaaah."

That is exactly what some of them were doing. They also use inferior synthetic artificial organs rather than use pork-tissue ones that more closely conform to human tissues and have better and longer survival rates.

Many nursing mothers, pregnant women, and newborns also suffer from Vitamin D deficiencies because of the women's insufficient exposure to the sun due to being covered up all the time -- this in desert lands where sunlight is so plentiful that ... oh hell do I even have to finish the sentence.

Can you imagine doing this to your kids? Oh well

I am not the least bit surprised. Off hand, I cannot think of any religion with such requirements...but there are cults. The Scientologists are bizarre, but they don't bring their kids up to be homicide bombers...

Any one of us who posts here would put our kids and grandkids above any other priority, and do whatever we have to, in order to both protect them, and to make sure they are provided with whatever is required to assure their future, be it health or anything regarding thier nurturing.

And now for something completely different..since shrillery says that the VRWC is back, where do I go to get a new membership card?

Yeah, it sort of looked like her. I can't really say. I didn't get a good look at her face because... it was covered up with a black scarf.

I don't believe that it's a myth that they have hams installed in Israeli buses, though. It's been a while since we've had a 'splody bus incident in Israel.

Um, is anyone else having trouble posting or getting the next thread to open up?

You know i go to the store, to buy meat for my dawgs, and they better darn well be served; I love those dog's

Just curious are they against hot dogs as well ?

because thats awesome Pigs are unclean and dogs are filthy so its the double mohammad whama !

Can't the customer sue for harassment and public ridicule? If the jihadis want to live in our great country, they should behave as Americans. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Somalians, and muslims in general, put the lie to the nice Minnesota belief in getting along. They can't tolerate us.

Martin Luther King probably was talking about you too. He was a man of remarkable vision and heart. Those who came after him were not.

I have no problem honoring MLK--even though making his birthday a holiday ended up creating the bogus "President's Day" to replace observance of Washington's birthday and Lincoln's birthday.

Maybe if he had lived, he would have turned moonbat, but I have to agree, he spoke for all. I have nothing but respect.

I first realized how his legacy has been hijacked when I saw my first MLK day parade. Many moonbats, mostly white, carrying signs bashing Republicans.

I'm currently reading a book about the Sepoy Mutiny. The Brits got their revenge on the Muslims who revolted (murdering hundreds of British women and children - most by beheading) by hanging the perpetrators but not before making them eat pork or dousing them with pigs blood. As for the Hindus, they were forced to eat beef.

So why isn't anyone smearing bacon grease on their coins and bills before they hand them to this "Bag lady"?

Then let her figure it out on her own once the smell starts to waft up to her nostrils.

Tell her you just finished eating a bacon, lettuce and tomato.

Tough tamales if she doesn't like it.

heh.

Ah, don't forget how the Brits used mutineers as stoppers for their cannon. They tied the buggers over the muzzles and pulled the lanyard.

Didn't have much trouble with 'em for more than 60 years.
