A man in Florida has made his gun supply store "Muslim free" and refuses service to people he believes are Muslim, in the wake of a shooting of servicemen by a Muslim.
He claims this is to "protect patriots". He also says in the video at one point that white policemen gunning down black kids isn't about race (people still think this?)
I think this is really missing the point. Almost every time we hear about a mass shooting in America, it's a white man, yet he's doing nothing to stop that. As I've said before, if I lived in America my position would be that carrying guns should be a lot more tightly controlled and generally illegal anyway, for everyone.
I would guess by his use of the confederate flag and the language he uses, he's also a Christian, which is no better. He's opposing Islam in favour of Christian views which are almost exactly the same, given power.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
