Islamic teachings suggest that people will be punished in Jahannam (Hell) in the after life if they don’t believe like them and that they deserve this punishment. That’s pretty offensive. MOTW is a hard pass for me.
That’s awesome, the rest of us shouldn’t have to deal with a prejudiced jerk while we enjoy their delicious coffee and pastries
Also, Catholics believe missing a single Sunday Mass is a mortal sin and will send a person straight to hell. Pretty offensive.
A jerk? Maybe. Prejudiced? No, everything I said is true. It’s a clash of values and I don’t support organizations that align with such values.
I encourage you to look up the definition of prejudice.
J.R.: I am a a Jew, and I have had a discussion regarding your reference to Islam. That person cited a passage in the Koran (sorry, I don’t remember the passage number), so I read the actual text. It, in fact, said exactly the opposite. The person only referenced a portion of the text that changed the meaning completely. The whole Koran passage was stating that such thinking was wrong. So before you blindly regurgitate stuff you’ve heard, I suggest you read the source material. I know many Muslims and have never experienced them wanting to kill me or even unfriend me. Quite the opposite. Plus they have great food!
Love this coffee shop. Well run and always good people inside. One of my favorite places for business meetings.
ROBERT S. – I don’t man, here are two passages from the Quran that support my claim:
18:29: “Whoever wills let them believe, and whoever wills let them disbelieve. Surely We have prepared for the wrongdoers a Fire whose walls will completely surround them. When they cry for aid, they will be aided with water like molten metal, which will burn their faces.”
https://quran.com/al-kahf?startingVerse=29
That’s the full passage and the only two options it offers are belief and disbelief, so there’s no question who the wrongdoers are.
Even more clarity comes from 2:24: “then fear the Fire fuelled with people and stones, which is prepared for the disbelievers.”
https://quran.com/al-baqarah?startingVerse=24
This a basic tenet of all Abrahamic religions, that nonbelievers face judgment and eternal punishment. But MOTW has built its brand around a religious identity, which makes the content of that religion fair to evaluate. A value system where people deserve to burn forever for not sharing their beliefs is one I find repugnant, whoever holds it.
