'I feel what we’re doing is right,' Minn. man says
(NEWSER) – Muslim families won't be offered any treats at the Treats Family Restaurant in Lonsdale, southern Minnesota: Owner Dan Ruedinger has arranged the sign board outside to read "Muslims Get Out." The sign says it is in "suport" of St. Cloud, where a Somali-American man stabbed nine people in a mall last weekend. Despite what his sign says, Ruedinger says he's not against all Muslims, only extremists. "It’s time that people started standing up, not worrying about the PC crowd and do what is right,” he tells CBS. "And I feel what we’re doing is right." Ruedinger, whose Yelp page has been inundated with negative reviews, says putting up the sign is his First Amendment right.
Ruedinger says Islam is a "religion of hatred that preaches violence"—and the Muslims who are "good people" should "hold the others accountable." The Lonsdale News-Review reports that Muslim leaders, including Jaylani Hussein of the state chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, met Ruedinger for what Hussein describes as a "short conversation." A witness says Ruedinger became agitated and started shouting about his son's service in Iraq. Hussein says thousands of Muslims were "shocked and appalled" by the St. Cloud attack and they will continue to try to reach out to Ruedinger.

I don't agree with this.This will only create distances between people living in one society.
ReplyDeleteNo religion has ever been a religion of hatred or preach violence. It's some miss guided people who has been using the name of the religion to fulfill their personal or political interests.
ReplyDeleteThis is not right. Islam is not about violence. Its about peace. Putting this kind of sign is absolutely degrading and discriminating. Despite the fact that he said he is not against all Muslims. But the sign says "Muslims".
ReplyDeleteJust putting up a sign of "Muslims Get Out" would not resolve all problems. In fact, this would create more problems. And as Ruedinger believes that not all Muslims are bad so why associate bad muslims "extremists" with all good Muslims.Because good muslims are also trying to get rid of these extremists as he is. Ahmadiyya Muslim community is such a community which is trying to unite against extremists and teach about true Islam to the world.
