Australia: Office supply store refuses to “print anything offensive to Muslims and especially not in Ramadan”
Here is another indication of how skillfully Islamic advocacy groups have portrayed Muslims in the West as victims, such that any criticism of Islam’s exhortations to violence is considered to be “racism” and hence unacceptable. The people in Officeworks are just standard Leftists who have been indoctrinated to believe that any criticism of Islam is somehow wrong. They’re well on their way to embracing Sharia blasphemy laws and imposing them on the rest of us.

Islam does not equal race’.The second features the face of Sonia Kruger – who is due to face the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal over blasphemy and vilification charges – alongside the text: ‘Mass blasphemy! Half of Australia agrees with Sonia #LetsTalkAboutIslam.’Mr Schumann went on to explain how the store manager told him ‘we [Officeworks] can’t print these racist things.’‘So I wrote a brief email to the manager to tell him that his store policy does not override federal or state anti-discrimination laws,’ said Mr Schumann.‘These laws happen both ways: you can’t discriminate on religious grounds OR political grounds.’Mr Schumann insists that, in this case, he’s the one who is the victim of discrimination.‘Absolutely I’ve been discriminated against,’ he declared….
