No you can’t. Can they say no blacks? No gays? This is clear discrimination of religion.

No it's not. The back of the shirt was the problem, which has 7 other religions crossed out. Basically saying, no jews, no Muslims, etc... The Jesus saves part has NOTHING to do with this.

“

That’s not going to work and it shouldn’t. Just shut up if you are a business owner and you have any problems with anything related remotely to race religion national origin or sex.

At least in South Africa (although then there were more Covid-lock-downs and I never heard the outcome of the story), but I have a feeling they told that security company to stand down, and he can happily go to that mall now in his loin-cloth and blanket.

Yip society does evolve, and here the aim is "decolonization".

Although these were activists - can't say it's a trend yet.

Not all bad from a security perspective: at least you can't hide an AK-47 in a loin-cloth.

I personally would like that.

We live in such a homogenized world.

My last time at the mall I vaguely remember a church group there, they weren't removed.

In addition to that there is a Christian Chothing store IN Mall of America. This alone shows they aren't against Christians, they are against hate speech against others or anything that could cause as disruption.

I wore a George Washington t-shirt that said "They hate us cause they ain't us" to a Houston Astros game last year and they made me turn it inside out because it was "hate speach"

Apologies probably mixed up you and Olaru.

Any real Christian thinks everybody can be saved, must be the left coast version thats so intolerant.

Yet when I lived in the "racist and intolerant backwards bible belt", being a catholic (not practicing) married to a pagan, by a wiccan priestess barely rates a few questions and certainly no hostility.

I find life experiences like that interesting.

That is interesting… kind of makes me think that despite the general stereotype, I’m sure there’s a lot of genuine good Christian people in those parts who are surprisingly tolerant of others beliefs.

Which brings up another interesting question… do you think that shirt the man was wearing would be considered appropriate to rock up to most churches in?

idk… I’m no expert, but I feel like it would probably have a few people at least praying for him to find his way and deal with the hate in his heart.

So in the United States I would not be able to go to a mall (or any public place really) with, for comparison's sake, a swastika on my t shirt -
And now I can't shop at some malls with a graphic religious t shirt either?
Total censorship, we are all being slowly censored and herded.

The same mall that sells WAP by Cardi B....it is all or none folks.

What I find hysterical is how far it has come. I remember the Conservatives going after 2 Live Crew for their shows. Saying they were illegal with the language. They were over 18 shows. Now you have Drag Shows with kids in attendance and groups are suing Governors for that right.

It all comes back and the discussion of the slippery slope started a long time ago.

A lot of places will say no however you can go buy Che G shirt at Macys....go figure?

a reply to: matafuchs

So is it called 'selective censorship'?

The man had been proselytizing customers outside the mall prior to this -- and asked to stop/leave.

Here is the back of his t-shirt

I did not realize that part of his shirt was crossed out, what a confusing graphic.
What exactly is this man trying to say?

From MOA website (Bold is mine).

The back of the man's shirt is a slur to other beliefs.

Clothing/Attire
Appropriate attire, including shirts and shoes, must be worn. Inappropriate attire may include, but is not limited to:

* Apparel that has obscene language, obscene gestures or racial/religious/ethnic slurs that are likely to create a disturbance
* Clothing that deliberately obscures the face, such as hooded tops or masks
* Bulletproof vests or simulated bulletproof vests

His shirt is discriminating against non-Christians… lol, you literally just posted something that proves your own argument is wrong.

Well, as per MOA website: * Apparel that has obscene language, obscene gestures or racial/religious/ethnic slurs that are likely to create a disturbance

Crossing out Co-Exist is a slur to other beliefs and is likely to create a disturbance.

Just my experience, if he was willing to talk about it some would try to talk him around to being more tolerant, but the overall vibe I had was you do you ill do me, its not my place to judge your choices/beliefs.

Your mileage may vary.

Try staying on subject instead of playing "pass the trash".
