  • Sharia Law at Wal Mart [Trigger Warning: People Arguing With Ben]

    Allen West Thought He Was The Victim Of "Sharia Law" At Walmart (He Wasn't)

    Fox News contributor Allen West went to Walmart and thought he was the victim of "Sharia law" because a checkout clerk under the age of 21 couldn't sell him alcohol.

    West, a former congressman and head of the think tank National Center for Policy Analysis, wrote a May 11 post originally headlined, "Sharia law comes to Walmart?" He recounted a weekend trip to Walmart, where a "Muslim employee" manning the cash register was unable to sell him alcohol. (West knew he was Muslim because, "being the inquisitive fella I am, I used my additional set of eyes -- glasses -- to see the young checkout man's name. Let me just say it was NOT 'Steve.'"):

    There was a young man doing the checkout and another Walmart employee came over and put up a sign, "No alcohol products in this lane." So being the inquisitive fella I am, I used my additional set of eyes -- glasses -- to see the young checkout man's name. Let me just say it was NOT "Steve."

    I pointed the sign out to Aubrey and her response was a simple question, how is it that this Muslim employee could refuse service to customers based on his religious beliefs, but Christians are being forced to participate in specific events contrary to their religious beliefs?

    Boy howdy, that is one astute young lady.

    Imagine that, this employee at Walmart refused to just scan a bottle or container of an alcoholic beverage -- and that is acceptable. A Christian business owner declines to participate or provide service to a specific event -- a gay wedding -- which contradicts their faith, and the State crushes them.
    Following publication of West's "Sharia" post, West's website posted an "editor's update" explaining what actually happened:

    EDITOR'S UPDATE: We spoke to the Walmart store, and apparently employees under 21 years old are prohibited from selling cigarettes and alcohol. However, that isn't to say Walmart isn't selectively caving to Muslim demands, such as this case regarding Halal meat in Ohio.
    The post no longer has the headline, "Sharia law comes to Walmart?" and instead reads, "More ominous signs of Christian persecution." A screenshot of West's post prior to the editor's note, via Bing.com, can be found here.

    West has a long history of toxic remarks, including about Muslims. He's also called President Obama an "Islamist" and "disgusting racist," attacked feminists for "neutering American men," and smeared Democrats as communists, Nazis, and anti-Semites.




    Halalal meat in Wal Mart is sharia law. I don't want to hear any "supply and demand" nonsense. /s

    They make it sound like the under 21 prohibition is a Walmart thing when it is really a state law thing.

          He's a Fox News contributor now, so presumably there's an audience of like minded people.

              Christians have a prohibition against meat sacrificed to Idols. The problem with this is that meat that's been used is most often not labeled or identified. I won't shop anywhere that sells it, fwiw, because I just don't trust the vendors.

                    I don't know if Ben falls into this category, but some conservative Christians want the Jews to do well so that they can bring about Armageddon (something about the temple in Jerusalem being rebuilt being a prerequisite for the end of the world or something along those lines).

                      In Texas, a minor can serve.
                      A legal guardian may buy a minor a drink, but must make the purchase AND be within the immediate area at all times.

                        Texas doesn't deserve the amount of hate it gets here.

                          They gave up on that decades ago.

                            Let's agree that the dumb thing here is that legal age for drinking alcohol is 21.

                              Why aren't they allowed to handle sealed bottles of liquor or cartons of cigarettes? They aren't buying them, are they? Can I let my son steer a shopping cart that has a bottle in it? Bring the groceries inside?
