More stupid shit from crazy white people

My dad sends me (for verification purposes):

From September 11, 2009 ….

        IN CASE YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS READ CAREFULLY
In Houston, Texas

Harwin Central Mall: The very first store that you come to when you walk from the lobby of the building into the shopping area had this sign posted on their door. The shop is run by Muslims.
Feel free to share this with others. In case you are not able to read the sign below, it says
"We will be closed on Friday, September 11, 2009 to
commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Ali"

Imam Ali flew one of the planes into the twin towers.

Nice huh?
Try telling me we're not in a Religious   war!
THIS HAS NOT BEEN AROUND.....SO MAKE SURE IT GOES!

Truthfulness inspection:

From September 11, 2009 ….true

        IN CASE YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS READ CAREFULLY
In Houston, Texas true-ish

Harwin Central Mall (untrue, no such place): The very first store that you come to when you walk from the lobby of the building into the shopping area (untrue) had this sign posted on their door. (true) The shop is run by Muslims. (true-ish, they're Americans)
Feel free to share this with others. (if you're a chickenshit white bigoted Asshat) In case you are not able to read the sign below, it says
"We will be closed on Friday, September 11, 2009 to
commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Ali"

Picture is real

Imam Ali flew one of the planes into the twin towers. (not even a little bit true)

Nice huh? (that you made a bunch of shit up and spread it around the other arrogant, bigoted, Paulist asshats that call themselves "Christian"?  No, not really.  So, not even a little bit true)
Try telling me we're not in a Religious   war! (I think you're right, we're still fighting the Crusades, which we started as a diversion for the folks that could rise up against the leadership in rebellion and take over.  The arrogant, bigoted, Paulist asshats that call themselves "Christian" are still at it.  So, true.)
THIS HAS NOT BEEN AROUND (this has been around in circles, so not true a tiny little bit).....SO MAKE SURE IT GOES! (this isn't really a claim as much an exhortation, so knock yourself out)

My note back to my dad:

"We're not in a religious war".

It's FALSE.

I live in Houston and have for 29 years.  There is no "Harwin Central Mall".  There is a "Harwin Central Mart".  There was no 9/11 hijacker named "Ali", and "Imam" is not a name, but is rather a title for a Muslim religious leader.

Imam Ali http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imam_Ali was the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad, and was the ruler of the Islamic Caliphate after Muhammad died.  In 656 C.E. 

Imam Ali, who was the leader of the largest organized area of the world at the time, was assassinated on the 19th day of Ramadan (a lunar calendar) and died on the 21st day of Ramadan.  This happened to fall, in 2009, on September 22, 2010 by the Georgian calendar.

The owners of the store, who were astonished and baffled by white, Christian bigotry in reaction to their observation of a religious and cultural leader's death one thousand five hundred years ago, continue to this day to receive hundreds of hostile letters and phone calls, many of which threatened them with death and destruction of property.

Please tell your buddy Al thanks from me for making the world a safer place.

Oh, it took me less than ten seconds to dig up this information.  It took me far longer to write it into the body of an email, because most people like your buddy Al who send this horseshit onward won't click links containing facts to see for themselves.

The following graphic is for your buddy Al, and for anyone else who looks at the world the way he does:

Just one more note on a related subject:

Fighting back when they already own the government

I love talking with Teddy.  His thoughts on the Target situation:

It is so disappointing though, they were the anti-walmart and now they are no better than the Arkansas asshats.  Corporations in this country seem hell-bent on proving that they are, in fact, evil.

When commercial organizations support political or ideological causes antithetical to your very being, there is only one way to successfully deal with it.

When they perceive that their cost of business is higher than supporting the causes which try to kill or limit you, coupled with an awareness of tens of thousands of individual communicated decisions to purchase elsewhere, they'll change.

So every time you purchase something you could have or would have purchased at Target, send the local store a note that informs them of how much business they lost.

For those OCD souls among us, follow my lead in sending your local Target store a summary of all the money you spent there in the last calendar year and notify them that next year, the total will be zero.

Teddy reminded me that he mostly shops at Amazon online, and  I have been noticing my own tendency to do the same.  I wonder if Jeff Bezos could consider opening up an online pharmacy by mail....

"HEY JEFF!"

My email to Target's CEO

I've been a Target customer, loyal beyond reason, for twenty-nine years.

I deeply regret that Target management has concluded that their best business strategy is to promote political entities that advocate me personally having no human rights, that I be done violent death and be relegated to a sub-human existence.

I believe that you must understand I can no longer support Target in any way with my recommendations, my time nor my money. 

I will be providing both the store manager and the pharmacist with the attached letter next week when I advise them in person that I am transferring my prescriptions to a commercial enterprise that does not actively and openly seek my person and my life being damaged, and that I will never be back.
