Because you give to CAIR, I will never buy anything from your store again. Giving to any organization that supports terrorism is unacceptable. "CAIR is one of only three prominent Islamic organizations to be named unindicted co-conspirators in a case alleging criminal conspiracy to support Hamas." BV

Hi Crashrescue,

Welcome to the forum and thank you for sharing your comments on this recent event. Best Buy’s customers and employees around the world represent a variety of faiths and denominations, and we respect our employees’ efforts to constructively promote diversity and education in their communities. 

Over the past two years, our Inter-Faith Employee Business Network, a group of employees focused on promoting diversity and inclusion at Best Buy, has supported CAIR-Minnesota with $1,450 in total contributions to support an annual banquet. We also know that we have a very large and diverse customer base, and we know that everything won’t appeal to everyone.

I appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your response; it is invaluable to us. 

Regards,

[IdontCAIR]

I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars at Best Buy over the last decade. Trying to disguise your contribution to CAIR as "Promoting diversity" is a bunch of bull.

I have cut my Best Buy credit card, and I will never spend another dime in your stores unless an official statement is made with an apology and a promise that CAIR will never again be funded by Best Buy.

I am also urging other via Facebook, my online forum with 4,000+ members (USA-loving members, I might add), my newsletter, Twitter, and any other way that I can help get the word out that Best Buy funds terror organizations.

Care to provide any reputable information sources to back up your misinformation?

That was in RE to IdontCAIR, but to both of you, if you do a shred of research you'd see that in 2010, a court removed the co-conspirator tag, furthermore, in the end of 2011, the FBI was still working with CAIR.

RealGeorge,

Please don't interrupt their righteous (if somewhat misguided) indignation and rants with facts. I mean c'mon, IdontCAIR went to the trouble of creating a clever theme-based user name and everything.

I keep trying to do the math and I wonder: if you spread $1450 (a bit more than I paid for my iMac) over two years and a couple of banquets, assuming that food, drinks, and/or entertainment was provided, how much would be left over for nefarious activities?

Perhaps you were honestly duped by their propaganda, but you should do some checking on your donees. CAIR is well known as the US-based propaganda arm of the Muslim jihad terror movement. Supporting them is associating your company's name with a sworn enemy of the United States and is almost treasonous. Until you publicly withdraw your support for CAIR I will boycott Best Buy. I am sending a copy of this email to all of my internet friends.

[IdontCAIR]

and just what do you think were the topics of discussion at these banquets? I'll bet they weren't talking about how great it is to live in America - maybe it went something like this:

Praise be to Allah for the open and free society allowing us to meet like this openly in direct affront to their beliefs. What a bunch of fools these Americans are!

realgeorge and area51 - you are foolish for falling for the "diversity" line.

CAIR funds terrorism and Best Buy has backed its financial sponsorship of the organization. Because of these two FACTS, my money and the money of thousands of others will be spent elsewhere. End of story

And once again, I request each of you to provide reputable sourced links to back up your claims.

Don't sit back like a libtard and demand that we do your homework for you. Google articles by Andy McCarthy, the prosecutor who tried Abdul Rahman and knows more about the jihad movement in America than anyone. CAIR is the public face in the US of the jihad movement. Meanwhile, I'm building up a nice shopping cart on Amazon this week.
