Arkansas Gun Range Owner Declares Her Business a 'Muslim-Free Zone'
An Arkansas gun range owner has declared her shooting range a “Muslim-free zone,” saying she refuses to cater to customers whose religion “commands” its followers to kill people.
Gun Cave Indoor Shooting Range owner Jan Morgan said in an online post that she was banning Muslims out of fear that one of them might slaughter other customers.
“This is not a coffee and donut shop. This is a live fire indoor shooting range,” Morgan wrote in the bizarre missive, posted Sunday and reported by the Arkansas Times.
“The Koran (which I have read and studied thoroughly) … contains 109 verses commanding hate, murder and terror against all human beings who refuse to submit or convert to Islam,” she said.
“Why would I want to rent or sell a gun and hand ammunition to someone who aligns himself with a religion that commands him to kill me?”
On the site, Morgan identifies herself as a “nationally recognized 2nd Amendment Advocate,” NRA certified firearms instructor, journalist, Tea Partier and gun-rights lecturer.
Her shooting range is in Hot Springs, about an hour south of Little Rock.
In the post, Morgan said Muslims have threatened her life and cited 9/11, the Boston Marathon bombing, the Fort Hood massacre and the recent beheading at a Oklahoma food distribution center as reasons why they cannot be trusted.
“This is more than enough loss of life on my home soil at the hands of muslims to substantiate my position that muslims can and may follow the directives in their Koran and kill here at home.”
On another passage, Morgan describes becoming spooked recently by two Muslim customers with “allah akbar” ring tones on their cellphones.
