Paris restaurant refuses to serve Muslim women

Then why have DILCRA and the loacl prosecutors investigating him for racial discrimination?

It's so sad the lengths people will go to defend this man.
You are trying to justify his actions.
If a racist comment was thrown by a man at a black man, would you not agree that man is a racist, or is it just another buzzword to you?
Would you still be asking why I disagree with it?

Discrimination against anyone is wrong, this is something you learn in primary school.
Says a lot about you if you try and defend such actions whatever the reasonings are behind it.

This is relevant how?

Call people racists but don't even understand what that means

Islam = ideology
Black = race

A black person cannot choose his skin color. A Muslim chose his or her ideology.

You are perfectly well allowed to discriminate based on people's opinion.

If this man was truly racist and an Islamophobe he would have banned all Muslims from his premises years ago. We don't know his background. He might have lost a relative or friend in Nice that day, or somewhere else where there was a terrorist attack. He seems to be reacting in an emotional way,as he said, to recent terrorist attacks in France. It affects people differently. I'm sure if there is never another terrorist attack in France again then in time his opinions will become moderate again. It's human nature to lash out and pick someone to blame when terrible things happen. My grandmother and her generation hated all Germans for many years after WW2 had ended. But eventually people are able to put things behind them and move on. Again, if he has never in the past banned Muslims then he isn't truly racist. Or else it would have been there always.

Lol he's an idiot
People are going to stop going to this restaurant as a protest and he'll lose customers. Eventually, he'll have to change or his business will go bust.

Except for all those people who agree with him, and in France, that's quite a lot. The latest polls show traditional-right and far-right parties with a sizable majority of the vote.
Opinion in France is polarising and the movement is mostly one-way.

This is all part of the extremists' plan. They want a far-right government that will introduce draconian anti-Muslim laws, thus hightening social tension and increasing the likelihood of civil conflict.

So much deflecting. Do you think his behaviour is justified and acceptable or not?

I don't know. Because I don't know the man's background to make a judgement either way.

So it is permissible to discriminate against someone of a different political party to you, or against a vegetarian, or someone who supports abortion, or someone who thinks the colour purple is better than pink?

Do you not think that labelling an opposition with a pejorative in such a way is harmful to constructive discussion?

There's no discussion to be had, it's clear to see he's a bigot.

Huh? I didn't call anyone a racist, nor was the term 'racist' used in the post KingBradley quoted. The poster he quoted rightfully highlighted the difference in responses to blatant discrimination. When a baker refused to bake a cake for a gay customer, people were up in arm calling the baker homophobic and saying the behaviour was unacceptable. But when it's Muslim women being discriminated against, you have people like yourself defending the disgusting behaviour. It's irrelevant whether people choose to be Muslim while no-one chooses to be gay- that doesn't excuse this act of discrimination .

Because the person cannot choose to be gay.

And a Muslim could be white black yellow brown...that's not racist.

So yes, if you don't understand the difference, then you don;t know what racism is.

I agree with the last part. But yet people shout "racist" from the rooftop. And just because you discriminate, doesn't mean you are wrong. People discriminate all the time. Every time an interview takes place, do you think people don't discriminate even between white people?

It's his right to ban them, whether he loses customers, that's his problem.

Where did I call anyone racist??!!!!!
