Yahoo News reports that the group that calls itself Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has asked the Justice Department to look into the private business called Gun Cave Indoor Shooting Range in Hot Springs, Arkansas which has declared that it is a “Muslim-free zone” and that they won’t cater to customers of that particular religious persuasion;
Jan Morgan, owner of the Gun Cave Indoor Shooting Range…, wrote in an online post last month. “This is a live fire indoor shooting range … Why would I want to rent or sell a gun and hand ammunition to someone who aligns himself with a religion that commands him to kill me?”
Morgan, who says she has “read and studied” the Koran thoroughly, found “109 verses commanding hate, murder and terror against all human beings who refuse to submit or convert to Islam.”

“I understand that not all Muslims are terrorists,” Morgan continued. “I also believe there are as many Muslims who do not know what is in their Koran as there are Christians who do not know what is in their Bible. Since I have no way of discerning which Muslims will or will not kill in the name of their religion and the commands in their Koran, I choose to err on the side of caution for the safety of my patrons.”
As far as her beliefs, I think that this goes beyond religion – as far as I’m concerned, she owns the business and it’s her choice who her customers are…the same way I felt about the bakers who wouldn’t bake a gay wedding cake. If a business owner doesn’t want to serve me because I wear jeans, that’s fine, I’ll find someone who will serve me. That’s what the gay wedding party should have done, and it’s what Muslims should do do in Hot Springs instead of being whiny little bitches about it.
