Former Texas A&M student bans Muslims from her Arkansas gun range
In what is either a marketing ploy targeting hard-line conservatives or just a case of a local business owner standing up for her beliefs, Jan Morgan, a gun range owner in Hot Springs, Arkansas, has ignited social media with her announcement declaring her business a "Muslim Free Zone."
Morgan, who said she was instituting the ban in the name of public safety, studied political science and mass communication at Texas A&M, according to her Facebook page.
The gun range owner posted her reasoning for instituting the ban on her blog, which was originally reported by the Arkansas Times.
The post has since been removed from her site though her tweets on the subject are still published (see slideshow.)
Morgan cited Muslim involvement in the 2009 Nidal Hasan Fort Hood shooting, the Boston Marathon bombing, and even 9/11 as reasons for her concern, according to the Arkansas Times.
"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 will follow the directives in their Koran and kill here at home," Morgan wrote, according to the Arkansas Times.
Mediaite, an online media outlet, dug further into Morgan's social media history to reveal a 2011 Facebook post calling Islam "Clearly and Concisely Evil and Violent." In the post, Morgan cites numerous passages in the Quran that she says direct followers to commit violence.
Mediaite also credits Morgan with this "bit of logic" in her original blog post:
"Not all muslims (sic) are terrorists, but almost all terrorists in the world right now are muslim (sic). Since you can’t determine by visual assessment, which ones will kill you and which ones will not, I am going to go with the line of thought that ANY HUMAN BEING who would either knowingly or unknowingly support a “religion” that commands the murder of all people who refuse to submit or convert to that religion, is not someone I want to know or do business with."
According to her blog, Morgan is an award-winning T.V. journalist tuned conservative activist, and has speaking engagements lined up across the U.S. at gun rallies and other conservative group meetings.
