    Very classless. They could have easily said "Parking for paying patrons only" or something that's been done umpteen times.

    Take down the signs.

    Next.

    I'm not racist or a bigot or anything, but I think all the Whites in the neighboring area should be taken into custody and questioned extensively. Again, I'm not a racist, but it is simply undeniable that Whites have had a storied past with prejudice and segregation, so it's only logical that we categorically target them as one large group and demand that extra police attention be paid to their presence and behaviors.

    It's time the moderate Whites stood up against the radicals and apologized for this terrible act.

    Looks like the Korean guy put it up meaning to say "No mosque members" but said "Muslims" instead. It could just be a case of the guy not speaking enough English to understand the difference in connotation between the two.

    $30/each. Problem solved, no a-hole behavior, no offense taken, no bad publicity.

    Some people are just too stupid to live and too crazy to die.

    Just a silly mistake IMO. No harm no foul.

    Sensitivity may have nothing to do with it, posting a sign on a business that indicates refusal of service to a specific protected class seems like a fairly actionable violation. That the offending proprietor seems dishonest about it indicates either fraud or an understanding of its inappropriateness.

    SMH, Asian small business owners (and I am Asian myself). If the guy is a 1st generation immigrant, I'd give him the benefit of doubt and chalk this up to language issues rather than religious hatred.

    As a Muslim, that seems like the most logical explanation. But who knows, maybe I should be more cynical.

    That would be easier to excuse and ascertain if he didn't deny putting up the sign.

    I pray at that mosque now and then, and I know that shopping center. I'm not surprised it came to this though I wish the wording had been different. Last year, I've asked the ISGH to ameliorate the traffic situation.

    Normally, that center has few cars. Yet, Friday afternoons it's packed with BMW and Lexus sedans for 45m-1h. The mosque has inadequate parking. It takes forever to leave so some people selfishly take a shortcut by parking here and leaving as soon as they desire.
