Title: Hyatt Hotel cancels event speaking against Islam.
Post by: Solus on October 19, 2011, 11:58:25 AM
Might be being blown out of proportion, but this didn't give me a warm feeling about Hyatt Hotels.

You can find the story here.  http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=357653

An excerpt:


A Hyatt hotel in Sugar Land, Texas, has abruptly canceled a previously scheduled tea-party event at which author and Atlas Shrugs founder Pamela Geller was scheduled to speak on the dangers of Islam.

Geller said the decision came about because the hotel was "intimidated" into censoring her planned speech by "CAIR thugs," referring to the controversial Islamic advocacy group Council on American-Islamic Relations.

As much as it bothers me to see a private business lend support to a group I do not agree with I will support their right to turn away my business.

As a side note:  Last spring I posted photos and situation with a hotel in the Minneapolis area that decided to ban guns - They have since closed!

Exactly how I feel about The Hyatt.

And heartwarming to hear about the other hotel.

Wasn't there a trial in Houston a few years ago where CAIR was charged with support for terror groups because some of their members belonged to Hamas, and Hezbollah ?
Sure is funny that when whites
, for example those of Italian descent, commit a crime it becomes a Federal crusade, and just belong to a loose association is enough to get 100 years in prison ( RICO statute, Rudy G.'s "Pizza Connection" )
But there is another standard if your a minority.

Probably didn't want to get blown the hell up. Islam is the religion of peace don't you know. Anyone who says differently will be killed. ::)

CAIR is a ruthless gang of thugs financed by the Saudis. Their only job is to advance the mooslum agenda in the USA.  These proponents of the religion of peace would gladly kill your grandma, then eat your birthday cake.  And of course, our dear prez finds them to be a wonderful group dedicated to the education of Americans.

As was said in another post:  I'll see your jihad and raise you one Crusade.
