Best Buy Ad Touts Muslim Holiday
RICHFIELD, Minn. - A scanned version of the Best Buy Black Friday ad on BestBuy.com wishes Muslims a happy Eid al-Adha, which falls on the extended Thanksgiving weekend.
Since the ad was posted, a message board on BestBuy.com has filled up with plenty of responses. Tuesday morning, a discussion of the ad on BestBuy.com had more than 100 responses. Some of those comments were supportive of the greeting and some called for a boycott of the retailer, including boldly racist remarks.

Why did Bush & Rumsfeld make the deliberate decision to let Bin Laden go when they had him trapped at Tora Bora?
Was it because
1) They had made a deal when they let his people through to commit the 9-11 attack?
2) They needed a bogeyman at large to keep everyone scared?
3) Bush, Cheney et al owed the Bin Laden family some big favors?
4 All of the above?

Will not be buying my new Led from best buy.
This is the sceond story I have heard about them, that's it.

I bet they do not say Merry Christmas. I think I'll not purchase from them until I see how they treat Christians.

What is wrong with businesses making multi-faith greetings? Non-christians go shopping too.
Would you prefer christian only businesses?
Nazi Germany tried that - look what happened there.
John-USMC-OathKeeper
Done even browsing at Worst Buy. They want to cater and pander to a special interest group, they lose even my passing interest. I'll shop online or other outlets. They can take their PC ad and shove it.

I don't need Anything from best buy,, wont go there again!!
Barbarella
Best Buy was kissing up to its muslim customers. Why not say "Happy Holidays to All of our customers", end of story, subject closed.

@kmarx...what do you consider a right wing extremist? Anyone who doesn't agree with you? Sorry, not me..don't have any extra time to be an extremist.
MK
conservatism>: So what's your plan?
CONSERVATIVE=LEMMING
I'm sure that Best Buy meant all right wing extremists-christian as well as followers of Islam
biker
As long as the salutation is geared toward all faiths...see no problem..however yours is no more important than mine. I will continue to say Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy Easter, Happy 4th of July..if I offend you, sorry...my faith is just as important to me as yours is to you.
COMMANDER AND PIMP
DOES THAT INCUDE BIN LADEN AND THE TALIBAN????
bunnyma5
Am I wrong in that Best Buy was one of the stores that last year told employees not to say Merry Christmas to customers but instead say Happy Holidays?Not a question of rascism but fairness...do not exclude one over another....
abortionlover

Look up the word racist sometime.

Rumor has it, jesus is making all of his purchases at BB this year.
I guess you cant say "what would jebus do"?
abortionlover
I know what jebus would do now. He'd shout racist and bigiot remarks on foxnation. That's how he'd show his love.
Ken in Atlanta
He wouldn't abort any babies.
d'Raven
I recommend you "ABORT" your mind, and misspelling a very important name to every Christians, is not only rude but insensitive and racist, how low can you get? And you want us to treat you nicely? Ain't happening today...
abortionlover

HEY K. MARX
Just out of curiosity.
What is your dualistic theology?
Howard Beale
Happy Eid! Merry Christmas! or Happy Hanukkah!. They are all an excuse to have a party so who cares. No one should be offended and just go with it. Tolerance and acceptance is what makes America great !
2500hd
is tolerance and acceptance why they did 9-11 .
Howard Beale
The KKK claim to be Christians. Like the Taliban they are a small and pathetic minority.
MK
Because a small handful of people did that..out of 1 billion plus people. Not every Muslim is out to get you. They use religion and fear to bait people into joining to better their standing socioeconomically.

So this is where the most extreme of the whackos hang out, in the "OMG, BUSINESSES ARE TRYING TO TREAT OTHER RELIGIONS WITH RESPECT, AND ARE ATTEMPTING TO INCORPORATE THEM INTO SOCIETY INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW THEY ARE ALIEN TO US, YET SHUNNING ALL ATTEMPTS TO INCLUDE THEM IN SOCIETY LIKE WE ARE."
FBI take note, these are the future right wing Timothy Mcveighs. These kind of blogs are very useful in bringing all of the worst elements of our society together in order to keep track of them
JustinCase
Should the FBI "take note", I'd imagine they'd be very interested in someone who dubs themselves "K. Marx". "most extreme of the whackos"...yeah, you're probably correct.

They are directed in the Koran to cut your head off if you don't join them.
But hey, nothing bigoted about that.

I did NOT say all muslims are evil. You are losing it big time. I think all inviduals have value and are created by God. Your rants are getting old. You talk about bigotry against people and then turn around and call conservatives right wing terrorists and monkeys. uh huh. You ignore historical perspective. Nazis and Islam WERE closely connected. Stop tossing the truth overboard. Look it up. Your name stinks, just like your ignorant rantings.
