Now wait a minute. Can someone fill me in here? I know that the well-heeled can buy the exclusive use of an amusement park for a day, but isn't it a violation of anti-discrimination laws for a park to restrict admission on the basis of religion? Will ticket buyers have to recite the Shahada, the Muslim profession of faith?
Or is this something that happens all the time, and Christian groups often buy out Six Flags for a Christian-only day? Let me know, please.
From the Islamic Circle of North America, with thanks to Ali Dashti:
Insha Allah, on September 17, 2004, the New Jersey theme park, Six Flags Great Adventure, is set to be transformed as 'The Great Muslim Adventure Day', an event organized by ICNA.

We appreciate all the help in promoting this event. Please print the flyer and distribute in your community.
UPDATE: It seems that Six Flags is closed to the public that Friday, and other Fridays in September, although Fridays in October it is open. My guess is that they rent the park out to groups after the summer season. I'll get a question in to them and let you know. (Note to CBS and the Boston Globe: That is known as "reporting." Or maybe I'll just whip up a fictional memo proving my point and head straight for the bar.)

I don't like the way Six Flags has become overcrowded, so I haven't been to it in almost thirty years, so I don't know. I used to amuse myself as a child on trips to the park by trying to recall the six different flags that flew over Texas giving the park its name. In those days, children, there were no DVDs in SUVs. It's true!
Hey six flags, how about "Whites Only" Day?
A "No Irish Need Apply" Day?
A "Daughters of the American Revolution Day?"
A "Daughters of the Confederacy Day?"
A "Republicans Only!" Day?
I'm waaaaaaaaiting....

And what're we gonna have in the name of adventure at six-flags?
1. A Fight-alongside-Osama game?
2. weapons tarining and pro-suicide counselling sessions?
3. How to shoot infidel children in the back game!
4. Decapitation adventure
5. blah blah
Point is, I'm sure in a muslims only gathering, the jehadis among the general opulation will feel emboldened to stick their heads out of the woodwork and display some of their egregious anti-americanism and anti-semitism. Anybody have skullcaps and flowing robes, so some of us can go in, act like muslims and keep tabs on these activites? Why not a BBC scoop exposing the rotten core of islam (like they one they so cleverly pulled off against the BNP), eh?
God bless the free world.

I know the six flags here does a "senior" day for high school, all the high school seniors in the area are invited to an all day party at six flags at the end of the school year....
I have always thougt it was a waste of money for muslim women to go to the parks, I have never seen them on a ride, never seen them enjoy the water attractions on a hot day, they never look like they are having a good time...they just trudge around in their long black costumes lugging an average of 5 small children with them while also pushing a stroller...hmm...yea if I were one I would be running to get my ticket...and for the men...I have to wonder what allah thinks about a whole day of fun at a park built by infidels....one thing for certain...if I were an employee, I would be calling in sick that day.

Something particularly important about keeping all non-Muslims out? I should have thought non-Muslims would be most welcome, as part of Interfaith Outreach. What better way to become integrated in, and accepted by, American society than, whenever possible, to make sure that non-Muslims are included in all such events, or at least are not deliberately kept out.
And instead of those special staged "outreach" sessions at mosques, which carefully focus on the "three abrahamic faiths" and "we honor Jesus and Moses" and "we are the three monotheisms and share so much" and blah blah, with the smiling imam and the carefully-selected Potemkin "worshippers" and sanitized version of Islam (with many of the Christian and Jewish visitors, already pre-selected as innocents, beaming broadly at their own broadmindedness, and the sheer wonderfulness and mutual understanding which has been achieved -- in other words, they have fallen for the whole thing), what about allowing non-Muslims to attend real Friday Prayers, perhaps accompanied by a simultaneous interpreter who can tell them exactly what is being said in the khutba or sermon. Now that would be a real achievement, that would help non-Muslims to fully appreciate Islam. And so would a trip to a Muslim bookstore, to see what constitutes Muslim intellectual life. Most educational.

"...this multi-ethnic event will bring Muslims together..."
This is the latest way of playing the multi-ethnic card. It's ok to deny entry to people on the basis of their religion as long as they call it a multi-ethnic event. I’m speechless.

What would happen if, in imitative fashion, some theme park or stadium or some such were to be rented out for an event Open to All Non-Muslims. Would that be permissible? Would anyone object? Would it be constitutional, given the application of the Federal Civil Rights Laws even to such local establishments as the well-known Ollie's Barbecue?
Is this all-Muslim event not a violation of the Civil Rights laws? If it is, can it be allowed to go forward, or must non-Muslims be invited in, lest Six Flags and the Muslim organization both be sued? What about it?

In the Ollie's Barbecue case, even the paper cups were found to have been used in interstate commerce, and the Congressional power to regulate Interstate Commerce (the Commerce Clause) gave it the right to reach even Ollie's Barbecue, and its discrimination against black customers. Does anyone have any doubt that Six Flags has at least as much connection to Interstate Commerce -- say, what about all those ads taken out all over those varous states inviting Muslims only to come to a Muslims Only Event. Surely that is more than enough. Well, Muslims Only is fine in a private residence. But not, I'm afraid, at Six Flags. Let the injunction, let the lawsuits, let the lawyers begin. Or, alternatively, let all those non-Muslims in, so they can enjoy the park at the very same time.
And those non-Muslims should, as they enjoy the rides and the cotton candy along with everyone else, remember to quote an immortal line uttered by Samuel L. Jackson: "I'm sorry -- did I spoil your concentration?"

Maybe they just want their families to be able to have a good time without being harassed, insulted and assulted by people who hate Muslims?
at September 10, 2004 1:02 PM
So then muslims wouldnt be insulted if they were told that they could not fly on airlines because civilized people wanted to fly without the danger of being flown into a building or into the ground?? Sounds fair to me.

"Will ticket buyers have to recite the Shahada [to gain admission]...?"
Possibly. Other ways for the admittance seeker would be to show his AK-47, RPG or suicide belt, etc.
Of course, those men with missing orbs and/or limbs would gain free entry because they are obviously front line soldiers who have attained, through their wounds, a higher spiritual level against the never-ending struggle with the infidel.

I'll bet that special show for kids at 5 PM is something to see.
"Let's all put your hands together for that pop classic, 'I hate Israel!'"
at September 10, 2004 3:35 PM
Not surprising. Refusing to mix with non-Muslims during recreation is another example of Muslims showing how they refuse to integrate into the host society and the disdain and contempt in which they hold non-Muslims.

Well said, Epg.
if they want to celebrate their religion, I suggest they have "Happy Carousel Days" in Medina.....

I'd love to be working at the amusement park on that day - imagine seeing all those Taleban lookalikes and burqa babes dancing on those disco machine contraptions!

So...um....when fun-time for Muslims is over and done,...how many devices will be scattered throughout this den of EVIL? ,
I was of the impression that amusement parks and all forms of entertainment that don't glorify Allah Are EVIL and MUST be DESTROYED?
IslamicTerroist might be clutching their cell-phone remote detonators throughout the 3rd morning of business as usual just waiting for the place to fill up with Mommies & children.
What's going to happen when they destroy Disneyland in south California when its full of families?
All places of amusement and entertainment are EVIL and MUST be destroyed!

My suggestion: if you're up for it, get a videocamera (and a couple friends that can get you out of trouble in a hurry) and try to get it dressed in normal Western fare. If they stop you, film it and distribute widely. One media chain or another will pick it up.
I'd do it, but I don't have the air fare.

Since many Muslims suffer from a "Victim Envy"
complex, I wouldn't be the least surprised if the usual fake "bomb-threat" is called in to the park by a Muslim to gain sympathy and give CAIR another bogus Islamophobic headline to play into the Muslim paranoia that's already rampant.
CAIR Canada has posted several claims of attacks on Mosques while having absolutely no evidence of the vandals identity or in one case a untraceible
phone threat from a phone booth near a Mosque and
a death threat on a voicemail.
Muslims love to scream that "You're innocent until proven guilty" but that seems to only work
when a suspected terrorist is arrested,they don't afford others that luxury that they so demand while screamimg "Racism".
CAIR USA doesn't want to wait for the trials
dealing with the Abu-Ghurib prison photo's,CAIR is the first to denounce beheading video's a possible fakes because Islam forebids killing the innocent. CAIR defended Richard Reed (the Shoe-i-cide bomber) as a victim of Islamophobia and even with Reed's public admissions of his desire to murder Americans for Allah,CAIR never followed up with a condemnation after his confession in Court.
If CAIR uses cheap photo's as their basis for factual claims,then I've got some pictures of Forrest Gump meeting three US Presidents and John Lennon and Elvis.
I guess CAIR feels the Osama video's are all faked and any anti-Muslim photo must be real because the West is so bigoted,also I guess the Palestinians injured in news reports are all real and the Israeli bus bombings are faked by the Mossad.
It is a real tragedy that the 99.97 percent of the Worlds Muslims living outside of America are casting a bad image of Islam for the .03 percent
of the "Good" Muslim inside America that are the Peaceful tolerant ones with a special version of the Quran that forebids any violence.
NO ISLAM - KNOW PEACE

Muslims would be the first to shriek 'discrimination' if there was ever to be a 'Jews only' day or Israeli day at Six Flags. They are testing us to see how far they can push us in the name of 'diversity and multiculturism.'
We are failing.

Isn't this a precurser to show muslims what life would be like after erradicating the infidels???? (something to ponder...)
Secondly, when will ignorant Hollywood Actors (Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin, Julia Roberts,etc) understand that the radical muslims weren't so much turned off by "us - the little guys posting here" but in fact BY THESE ACTORS and all the MORALLY CORRUPT roles they play(ed) in Hollywood? THEY provide the fodder that the radical muslims can point to and say "see, all American's are just like THAT!". It sure doesn't help...
