Backlash

I guess when Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan isn’t having dinner
with rapper Eminem in Detroit, he’s setting up deals with Harley-Davidson
dealerships in order to spread the word of Allah.
Not so fast, say nearly 6,000 people.
Check it out…
From Daily Caller:
A Harley Davidson dealership near Washington, D.C., faced massive
Internet backlash over the weekend after word spread on social media that it
planned to host a rally sponsored by the Nation of Islam.
Bikers participating in Rev. Louis Farrakhan’s “Ride for Justice”
originally planned to meet up at the Fort Washington, Md., motorcycle
dealership, but a huge online backlash forced them to change their minds.
A petition circulating online calling on the owners of the dealership to
cancel the event already has close to 6,000 signatures, and appears to have
worked. According to The Associated Press, the event has been called off.
The dealership is independently owned, and the petition also called for
Harley to “revoke the license of the D.C. location,” if it in fact went
through with this.
The petition also seeks for the motorcycle manufacturer to denounce the
Nation of Islam as racist, which makes sense seeing as how the ride was
aimed to support the commemoration of the Million Man March, and the march
is intended to support the Black Lives Matter movement.
Here’s a statement from Harley-Davidson regarding the incident…
“Harley-Davidson of Washington DC, an independently owned dealership,
has informed us that they will no longer serve as a meeting point for the
Ride for Justice. We also want you to know we are not and have never have
been a sponsor of this event.”
Who are we kidding?
This is an Islamic event set up to encourage the BLM movement, so of course
it should not take place.
Asking for the franchisee’s license to be revoked is harsh, but the point
is that a message was sent: Bikers and Islam don’t mix! | T*********I
