http://theweek.com/speedreads/650375/minnesota-restaurant-claims-business-soaring-thanks-muslims-sign"It's time that people started standing up, not worrying about the PC crowd and do what is right," said Dan Ruedinger, who owns Treats Family Restaurant. "And I feel what we're doing is right. We are not targeting the Muslims in general, just the extremists. And that's all I can say. It's my right, and I'm going to stand up, and I wish more people would do it."
The action is apparently in response to attacks in nearby St. Cloud, Minnesota, where a Somali immigrant dressed as a security guard stabbed 10 people with a kitchen knife before being shot and killed by an off-duty police officer. The attacker allegedly first asked victims if they were Muslim before striking.
Despite community backlash including protesters gathering outside the establishment and phone calls requesting the sign to come down Ruedinger said business is up so much that he's had to add extra workers. He says he has no intention of removing or changing the sign.
Minnesota? Might it be in Keith Ellison's district?

I hope this guy goes bankrupt and finds himself homeless and friendless.

He was roundly hated by all, and lasted less than two years before upper management sent him packing.
