Actual minorities have hate crimes. Muslims mainly seem to have
minor inconveniences. Like the Muslim passenger who was supposedly
refused a can of diet coke by the flight attendant... only because she
was Muslim. Or the Muslim who allegedly suffered a dirty look. Or were
asked to
leave a coffee shop after 45 minutes of hogging a table.
A popular eatery in Orange County came under fire over a video that
went viral. In the video, a woman claims she and her friends were asked
to leave the Urth Caffe in Laguna Beach for being Muslim.
Sara Farsahk, the woman who posted the video on Facebook, claimed she
and her Muslim friends were the victims of discrimination at Urth Caffe.
She explained that they were asked to leave after 45 minutes, to free
up a table for customers ordering at the counter.
For some reason, this incredibly Islamophobic coffee shop let her and
her friends order, sit and hang out for 45 minutes. And then only asked
them to leave after 45 minutes. Which is the policy.
But the owner of the restaurant said the woman's claims are not true.
ABC7 reached out to Urth Caffe, which said it does have a policy that
patrons must give up or share their table after 45 minutes when it's
busy.
The owner, Shallom Berkman, said there were people waiting in line that evening.
"Everybody wants an outside seat. We have this policy to make things
fair and accommodate everyone who wants to enjoy Urth Cafe," Berkman
said.
But to make things clear, Berkman stated the women were not asked to leave because they are Muslim.
"My wife is Muslim and I'm Jewish. We like to say we're a sign of world peace," Berkman said.
CAIR is not a big fan of world peace.
Farsakh did not want to comment on camera for ABC7's story. She met with
the Council on American Islamic Relations on Monday and they planned to
issue a statement on her behalf Tuesday morning.
That should be loads of fun. I'm sure Obama will be commenting on this
before long. Because tragic minor inconveniences of hate like this
cannot and must not be tolerated. Muslims should receive special
exemption from all normal rules, whether while flying or at restaurants.
The failure to respect Muslim Privilege is itself discriminatory.
