ANTI-MUSLIM CONFERENCE BOOTED OUT OF NASHVILLE HOTEL

IslamophobiaIt happened again, and this time it happened in the same area that Jared Taylor & Co. say they are going to hold their next American Renaissance Conference next March. Some group calling itself the “Sharia Awareness Action Network” was supposed to hold a “Preserving Freedom Conference” which was going to be yet another gathering of people who hate Muslims. Unfortunately for them, folks in the area were none too pleased about this thing going on and they let the hotel they were going to have this thing at know about it. The result: The hotel shut the conference out. It’s even sweeter considering that Pamela Geller was supposed to speak at this thing and now she is dealing with the same thing that happened to her in Sugarland, TX just last week, when people cried foul of that town’s local teabaggers bringing her there. Look, these scumbags spend their time talking about how they can deprive the rights of others who do not worship as they do in the name of “preserving freedom”. It is only fair that people show them what freedom truly means. Freedom means that we don’t let people like them build. It is bad enough that Islamophobia has become a $42 million business. We need to really start knocking down that market value significantly, because you never know when they will want to invest in preserving freedom at your expense. Which reminds us. We need to get in touch with the folks in Nashville who did this. They might be interested in what’s happening next March!

NASHVILLE, TN – A conference being touted as the “first national conference on Sharia and the Islamization of America”, had been cancelled by the hotel they hoped to hold the event in after calls of protest to the establishment.

The “Preserving Freedom Conference”, which was sponsored by the Sharia Awareness Action Network (SAAN), was supposed to be held Nov. 11 at the Hutton Hotel in downtown Nashville, but according to Steve Eckley, Senior Vice-President of Hutton Hotel, the hotel he had been getting threatening letters and calls, and consequently the hotel would not honor its contract for the conference. Eckley even said that if conference organizers and attendees showed up at the hotel, they would not be let in.

Among those scheduled to speak were noted islamophobes such as Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy, Fred Grandy, who played “Gopher” on the 70s television program “The Love Boat” and went on to become a congressman, and Pamela Geller of Stop Islamization of America (SOIA), who just last week saw another hotel in Sugarland, Texas close their doors to an event sponsored by the Sugarland Tea Party because she was scheduled to speak.

This conference was to take place not too far from the town of Murfreesboro, where anti-Muslim activists failed in their efforts to prevent an Islamic Center from expanding. The Nashville area is also where the white supremacist publication American Renaissance (AmRen) is planning to hold their 2012 conference March 16-18. After having to cancel their conference two years in a row due to call of outrage, AmRen organizers say they chose to hold their conference in a “government-owned facility” feeling that they cannot be denied use of a public space the way they have been by private hotels. Columnist Don Feder, who serves on the steering committee of SAAN, has also written for American Renaissance.

SAAN says on their website that hotel representatives “caved to Sharia Law”.
