Banning Best Buy
Copied from midweststreetcars.com Now, i'm an open minded person and all. But this crosses the line.
In 2006, Best Buy announced that they were no longer going to include "Merry Christmas" in any of their advertisements so as to not offend any other religions.
Yesterday, the newspaper arrived with all the sales fliers. I thumbed through, and arrived at the Best Buy circular.
In the bottom left hand corner of the flier, the words "Happy Eid al-Adha" caught my eye. Out of curiosity i researched it.
Eid al-Adha is a MUSLIM holiday. "The festival of Sacrifice".
I have a LOT I could say at this point.. But I don't think words are necessary. I'll no longer be shopping at Best Buy for anything.

Won't stop me any. I really don't care what they say. This country was built on the basis of everyone being able to have their OWN beliefs and not have others pressured on them. If they want to say Eid al-Adha then they have a right to say it.
People always get bent out of shape when someone else doesn't believe what they believe, especially when its a large scale place like Bestbuy.
I'll believe it when I see it tho.

It is my guess that if this is real, IF this is real, it was put in there by somebody without being authorized and it will cost that person their job. They are trying to be religiously neutral, they aren't going to go from Christianity to Muslim.
