Restaurant Owner Posts Sign That Offends Muslims, Refuses To Apologize Or Take It Down

The owner of a Minnesota restaurant posted a sign in response to a horrible terror attack in St. Cloud has received a lot of backlash.

The sign outside Treats Family Restaurant in Lonsdale, Minnesota, reads “Muslims Get Out.” A second line reads “In Support Of St. Cloud.”

Restaurant owner Dan Ruedinger says the sign has led to some backlash, but he says business is up so much that he had to call in three extra workers Monday.

 

“It’s time that people started standing up, not worrying about the PC crowd and do what is right,” Ruedinger said. “And I feel what we’re doing is right. We are not targeting the Muslims in general, just the extremists. And that’s all I can say. It’s my right and I’m going to stand up, and I wish more people would do it.”

Payten Estepp was part of a group protesting the sign Monday night.

“I get it, it’s his right to say what he wants to say,” Estepp said. “But that’s giving Lonsdale a bad rap to everyone that drives by on 19, which is a very busy road, so people are going to see that and they’re going to think Lonsdale as a whole, as a community, is as crass as that sign.”

The Mayor of Lonsdale, Tim Rud said while he doesn’t agree with the sign, he respects Ruedinger’s right to free speech, according to KARE. He also said the sign complies with city ordinances.

Do you agree with the Mayor’s decision?
