Religious bigots control supermarket chain
Publix was selling a calendar that mentioned the Islamic New Year on December 7th, instead of Pearl Harbor day (which is not a holiday). An area dominionist radio mouthpiece by the name of Joyce Kaufman, started a protest. Now Publix has cowed to the religious bigots and pulled the calendars. (I'm going to contact their offices and DEMAND a couple of the calendars!) Joyce Kaufman even said of Islam (QUOTE): "an enemy who declared war on us". Publix includes other religious holidays on their calendar, and was trying to be inclusive of the Muslim population in the area. I like the idea... fighting against the dominionist propaganda that "Islam = Terrorists" and recognizing that there are Muslims- PEACEFUL Muslims in this population. (I would argue that they're the norm, and that there are more violent dominionists than there are violent Muslims!) The dominionists don't stop and realize that their attempts to control the country and force everyone else to follow THEIR religion is just as bad, if not worse. And, of course there is the "Army of God" and like ilk- they're just as dirty if not more than even the more militant versions of Islam. IMO, they're far worse (and I should know because I'm a walkaway- I used to BELONG to those churches and actively supported things like steeplejacking). They're not nice or "good" people, no matter how they'd like to portray themselves. Even their "niceness" and "Goodness" have ulterior- and nasty- motives: Control. Exploitation. Abuse. We need to fight this sort of thing and be aware of it when it happens. This sort of bigotry has no place in a democratic society- it's the cancer that will destroy said society if it's not cut out and eradicated.
