Home  Aggregator    Former Marine's Boycott Against Best Buy Gathers Steam Over Company's Radical Muslim Ties  78428

Word is out that Best Buy is a "Platinum Sponsor" of the Hamas-linked CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood (they are indeed one and the same with identical ideology), and a former U.S. Marine who used to consider Best Buy one of his favorite stores is mad as hell about it and he's taking action that the rest of us should follow ... he's cut up his Best-Buy card and he's calling for a 'Best Buy-Cott':

The Daily Caller reports:

In April the Minnesota branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations announced that retail giant Best Buy had become a "Platinum Sponsor" for its fifth anniversary banquet. And former U.S. Marine James Canning decided to do something about it.

o, the Iraq and Beirut veteran demonstrated his frustration with "one of his favorite stores" by cutting his Best Buy "Reward Zone" card in half.

"Because of this support Best Buy has been giving the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR, I can no longer conduct business with Best Buy."

In an interview with the Daily Caller, Canning explained how his protest video came about.

"I read a news article on it on my Facebook page," Canning said. "So I made my video. It was kind of a spur-of-the-moment thing."

"When you've got a company that supports an organization that supports terrorism," Canning said of his boycott, "it's kind of, in my opinion, asinine to do my business there."

In an email, Best Buy spokesman Damon Gammon confirmed the companyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s contribution to CAIR.

"Over the past two years," Gammon said, "our Inter-Faith Employee Business Network, a group of employees focused on promoting diversity and inclusion at Best Buy, has supported CAIR-Minnesota with $1,450 in total contributions to support an annual banquet."

Ryan Mauro, a national security analyst at the Clarion Fund, a group that "produces and distributes documentaries on the threats of Radical Islam," told TheDC that the relationship between the electronics giant and the Muslim advocacy group is a dangerous one.

"It legitimizes an organization that shouldn't be legitimized. It funds a group that shouldn't be funded," Mauro said.

"It helps CAIR parade as a moderate force and it helps the group claim to be the representative of the Muslim community. Best Buy has done a disservice to anti-Islamist Muslims who are tired of having groups like CAIR talk on their behalf."

According to the Middle East Forum, Best Buy's public relations department has declined to rule out future support for CAIR -- despite reminders of CAIR's relationship with terror groups like Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

CAIR is one of only three prominent Islamic organizations to be named unindicted co-conspirators in a case alleging criminal conspiracy to support Hamas.

[...] CAIR did not respond to multiple requests for comment, but Best Buy doubled down on its support for the organization, telling TheDC that it is part of its corporate diversity initiatives.

There's much more on this - here.

As the piece goes on to point out, CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood are connected, and they're both funding and supporting Muslim extremists. The Clarion Fund has turned up the heat in recent weeks with an online petition to boycott Best Buy over its support of CAIR. The petition has attracted more than 10,000 signatures. Joining in on the boycott and signing the petition isn't going to actually hurt Best Buy ... it's a large world-wide company with lots of customers. But at least you'll be doing the right thing by resisting support of Islamic extremism.
