Reader comment on item: American Muslims in the Liquor Business

Submitted by AlbertE (United States), Jul 25, 2010 at 15:04

"Materieh's conflict is common in corner stores across Chicago's South Side. On one hand, store owners cannot make ends meet without selling what customers demand. On the other, consuming or profiting from products forbidden by their faith is considered sinful. What's more, neighbors blame the stores for perpetuating violence, addiction and obesity in low-income neighborhoods."

This article omits one thing. In ALMOST all of these cases where Muslims are selling alcohol or other "forbidden items", they sell amost totally so to American blacks.

American blacks who are despised as kaffir and abd [black house slaves]. Selling the forbidden stuff to such unbelievers is not a problem for these Arab Muslims, they despise the black American so much to begin with. "Let the destroy their souls if they want to" is the operative mentality.

And the Muslim shopkeeper too is noted for charging inflated prices because of the pilferage. You bet the trade is profitable, and for good reason.

Just had several of the Arab Muslim shopkeepers get abducted or suffer home invasion by American blacks recently in the area. The feelings of hate and distrust are very mutual.
