Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Australia: Kmart bans words “Jesus” and “church” at photo printing kiosks, “Islam” and “Koran” OK

Jun 13, 2019 11:45 am By Robert Spencer

A “system error.” Sure. These “errors” always go in only one direction. This is more likely yet another incident in the West’s massive and ongoing cultural capitulation.

“Kmart bans customers using religious words such as ‘Jesus’ or ‘church’ at its photo printing kiosks – but ‘Islam’ and ‘Koran’ get the all-clear,” by Charlie Moore, Daily Mail Australia, June 12, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Kmart has caused outrage after its photo printing kiosks banned some words relating to religion.

Words such as Jesus, church and Bible used in captions were deemed to be profanities and replaced with asterisks.

The words Jewish and Allah were also banned but mosque, Islam and Koran were not.

It was not just religious words affected by the error, with the word Canadian also banned, reported the Daily Telegraph.

When customers tried to caption photos with the forbidden words, a message came up on screen saying ‘profanity has been detected in text and substituted with ****’….

A spokesman for Kmart added: ‘We would like to sincerely apologise for this system error, which has been rectified overnight. It in no way reflects our views as a business. …

The issue was discussed on Sunrise on Tuesday morning.

Presenter Sam Armytage said it was ‘rubbish’ that this was a system error and that Kmart was just covering itself….

    It is very suspicious that Sharia law is being implemented and CENSORSHIP of all other religions imposed by international corporations. It would make one suspect that MUSLIM INSIDERS are surreptitiously changing the protocols to implement this sort of censorship.

      I agree, it’s not “corporate Kmart” doing it but some muslim or pro-terror a-hole in the IT department or wherever. This does not absolve Kmart from responsibility, though. They need to watch who they hire, and watch their hired.

        The would-be jihadi employees at the Kmart near me just sit outside, smoke, talk loudly and look at women entering the store (and it’s pretty much the same every time I go there), while their colonial hosts are inside doing all the work.

        I suppose if any of their co-workers or superiors dares ask them to get off their behinds planted on the bench in the smoke break area, and actually get to work, they likely just threaten them with discrimination lawsuits, islamophobia/hate speech allegations, etc.

        You guys are likely right, but It would not surprise me too much if something like this had actually become imbued somehow into Kmart’s policy. They seem pretty dhimmified already.

      They are quickly catching up to the US public schools…

      And you know what this is?
      The tactic called ‘test the sleeping giant.’
      Poke him, if he does not move, tie him up. When he awakes it is too late.
      They are testing the waters to see if there will be any outcry.
      When there isn’t, they know they have the green light to creep in with more sharia unhindered.
      Like the saying; “Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.”

      Glad you are feeling better Robert!

    Kmart? It’s on artificial life support here in the States, its obituary is all but written. Perhaps its fate will be similar there, the sooner the better.

      Looking more like the diversity sharia compliant folks are up to the same garbage. Much like here in the states words like pilgrims, Columbus day, Christmas, Easter and bible being stripped out of our education systems

      I can’t remember the last time I bought from K Mart and trying my best to not shop at Wal Msrt or any business that has nothing MADE IN THE U S A and especially if they shun anything Christian.

    It sure does make me suspect… but we don’t even have to just suspect it, we know that they’re doing it, so it’s more like, “Ahh, they’ve also infiltrated K-Mart now”.

    Things like this hurt business, cause loss of income, etc. Which is what the moslim, former isis guy informed was the plan by the guy in NJ. The plan was to get moslims inside businesses so they could do damage from the inside…by the use of computers and other means.

    Before the local store closed, it had hired more than one moslim. Just imagine if the corporate office hired a few with IT experience who could then sabotage with such things as this…which could be considered a small thing with big consequences.

    No wonder they are trying to conquer the West: We are begging for it!

    In fact -as is evidenced here- westerners are doing a considerable share of the conquest work for the conquistadors.

    A lot of Muslim women work at the local KMart in my State. I wonder if some history is onto something. Maybe KMart needs to do an internal investigation to determine how this “glitch” happened.

      Glitch ?

    K Matt is dying along with Sears
    This will just speed it up

    I found this report really strange because K Mart, as a business, would only be interested in maximising their profits (quite rightly). The left wingers are definitely running a campaign against Christianity as part of their hatred for anything to do with western civilisation (you know, people from the universities, the media, leftie politicians, etc), but why would K Mart want to anger their Christian customers? There are plenty of us Christians still around and that’s a lot of potential customers who certainly won’t be impressed by what some clown at K Mart seems to have done, according to this report. As a couple of commenters up above have suggested, maybe some Muslim employee or someone who just hates Christianity is to blame for this action.

    Australia: Kmart bans words “Jesus” and “church” at photo printing kiosks, “Islam” and “Koran” OK
    …………………

    How insane is this? What would have happened if no one had complained? Would this “glitch” have continued?

      Muslims might be looking for Blue Light Specials on fertilizer, as well…

    Boycott KMART for discrimination but let Management know.

    K Mart are blaming the supplier of the photo printing units – Kodak for the error, which they say has been rectified. It’s fairly clear what the programmers of the print units intention was.
    Question is, WHERE inside Kodak (if KMart Australia’s response is true), is the person who entered those words as profanity. Hard to believe that the once mighty Kodak, now a mere shadow of itself would allow this to happen.
    The fact is it HAS happened and is yet another troubling example of the march of Islam into the fabric of our once Christian/Western society.

    K-Mart is rapidly going the way of the dinosaur. There used to be stores all over my city. I think they closed the last few last year. Sears (their parent company) is also closing stores at a rapid pace. Good riddance.

    K-Mart is afraid CAIR (AKA Islamic Brotherhood and Hamas) will attack if they ban Quran and Islam, the CEO might be having visions of blown up stores and severed heads and loose limbs dotting the stores. See terrorism works, and the Islamic filth knows it real well and sissy CEOs know it too.
