The involvement of Hamas-linked CAIR makes this suspicious on its face, as that unsavory organization has trumpeted many hate crimes that turned out to have been faked. But there are two other striking aspects to this story. One is that Hamas-linked CAIR “has yet to identify” the woman to whom this supposedly happened. Why not? Could it be that her name sounds something like “ISIS,” and would thus reveal this to have been an honest mistake on the part of the barista? Anyone who has ever been in a Starbucks knows that many baristas are not exactly intellectual giants, and for many, English is not their first language. Mistakes on names abound at Starbucks outlets all over the country, and most people shrug or laugh them off. Hamas-linked CAIR says: “A supervisor told the Muslim customer that ‘mistakes’ sometimes happen with customers’ names, suggesting that this is not the first incident in which a customer felt targeted or harassed by a Target employee’s conduct when receiving their coffee order.” Or maybe the customer was just noting that his or her name was wrong; not everyone assumes that a mistake means one is being targeted or harassed.
Hamas-linked CAIR has shaken huge sums of money out of corporations with intimidation tactics, claiming “Islamophobia” over honest mistakes. Could that be what is happening here?
“A Muslim woman ordered a frozen drink at Starbucks. The barista wrote ‘ISIS’ on her cup.” Sahan Journal, July 5, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A Muslim woman said that on July 1 she ordered a drink at Starbucks within the Midway Target in St. Paul.
As soon as she started telling the Target Starbucks employee her first name, she said, the barista wrote something on a clear plastic drinking cup.
When the Muslim woman received her drink, she found “ISIS” written on the cup, according to the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
The Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization said in a press release that the woman confronted the employee, asking why “ISIS” was written on the cup. ISIS, an acronym for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, is a terrorist group that is active in Iraq and Syria.
“The employee claimed that she had not heard her name correctly,” CAIR-MN stated in the press release. “Later, a supervisor told the Muslim customer that ‘mistakes’ sometimes happen with customers’ names, suggesting that this is not the first incident in which a customer felt targeted or harassed by a Target employee’s conduct when receiving their coffee order.”
CAIR-MN is calling for the firing of the Target Starbucks employee who wrote “ISIS” on the cup….
The woman, whom CAIR-MN has yet to identify, will appear at a press conference with the organization on Monday.

“Say my name, say my name..”
What a bunch of malicious cry babies.

Spot on.
Waldman says
In any case was the Barista even aware that this client identified as a Muslim ??
Keith O says
Waldman
“identified as a Muslim?” Is that anything like self identifying as non gender specific or a man identifying as a woman?
Most of them use the Mudslime identity to get preferential treatment, because, for us to do otherwise is “Islamophobic”.
gravenimage says
Another good question, Waldman. Unless she was swaddled in a Hijab or Burqa, probably not.
mortimer says
Jihadists and jihad-sympathizers are about 15% of the Muslim population in any country, so how do you spot people who are hiding? How do you smoke them out?
CAIR and its affiliates have been involved in a number of hoaxes purporting to show rampant discrimination against Muslims. However, the evidence can’t be established in these cases and the charges are dropped, however, not before creating a storm of sympathy for the poor Muslims … who turn out not to have been victims at all. The Islamic Smollett Syndrome.
Americans can be awful teases and very defensive when they believe someone is anti-American. We daily hear of Muslims abroad who express hatred for the United States. If Muslims don’t want other Americans to think they are disloyal, then they should wear a little flag lapel pin.
Hugh Fizgerald says
The Muslims’ name is “Aisha.” That could well have been heard as “Isis” by the 16-year-old barista. Case closed.
Here’s another thought: couldn’t a CAIR-rehearsed Muslimah in the future give her name as “Isis” to a barista, have it written on her cup, and then once it is delivered to her, she “finds” the name “Isis,” makes a huge show of outrage/grief/humiliation/despair. “So that’s you think of when you see a Muslim?”
Then CAIR’s apparatchiks, who have been waiting for the call, swiftly arrive, and the threat of a lawsuit ensues. It can be avoided, however, if the deep-pocketed coffee chain (like Starbuck’s or Peet’s), or the corporation that owns the stores (like Target) in which this coffee shop is located, decides to make a donation to CAIR generous enough to head off that lawsuit.
Goodness, the possibilities are endless for Muslim money-making. Muslimahs, listen up! Bring a sweater or a dress to a dry-cleaner, give your first name as “Isis” and your real Muslim last name. Then when you pick up the suit, with the attached slip that reads “Isis” Al-Ayoub, or Al-Noor, or Al-Ahlam,or Al-You-Name-It), you can throw a fit, call CAIR to rush over, describe your humiliation and anguish, and shame, and demand not just an apology, but something more substantial — for yourself, for CAIR — to resolve the matter.
Or a group of Muslims goes to a restaurant where they know there is always waiting for a free table. One member of the group gives the name “Isis” to the person taking reservations. When a table is finally freed up and made ready for them, that person calls out “Isis, party of five.” At that point, by prearrangement, hearing this, all five of them look shocked, bewildered, shamed, humiliated, anguished, despairing — choose your poison — and again it’s time to call CAIR, time for demands for an apology, threats of a lawsuit, and then, of course, the possibility of a donation to CAIR that will in some small fashion help to atone for the terrible ordeal these five inoffensive Muslims had to suffer.
Companies need to be alerted to this all-too-plausible scam.
gravenimage says
All quite possible, Hugh.
Shivers says
I wouldn’t put it past this muslima to actually have said “ISIS” just to turn around and accuse the barista with writing it.
RichardL says
that’s probably the name she gave to the server
Ace says
You can see two distinct Sharpie pen colors on the I in Isis. Someone added to the original marknings.
DHazard says
Making up silly hate crimes that are unbelievable as soon as they are heard makes CAIR look silly and worthless, which they are.
Maemae77 says
I agree. This would just be one of the many.
Steven Dawson says

notnolib says
More importantly, is the muslima a proper, pious muslima, or is she sporting a cl1t0r1s like a tramp?
Oh….and CAIR is a terror organization. It’s members, officers, and supporters are terrorists.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
“More importantly, is the muslima a proper, pious muslima, or is she sporting a cl1t0r1s like a tramp?”
Dear Notnolib, What is a “cl1t0r1s”? An article of clothing?
gravenimage says
He was referring to a clitoris. This is not actually a swear word, so there is no reason to obfuscate its spelling.
notnolib says
sorry…..didn’t know they allowed clitoris to be said on this platform.
I’ll rephrase…..is the muslima a proper, pious muslima, or is she sporting a clitoris like a tramp?
CAIR is still a terrorist organization.
gravenimage says
I knew what you meant, notnolib. And yes–she would be considered a whore by many pious Muslims if she is not genitally mutilated.

But I have heard Leftists say in all seriousness that white chocolate is “racist” and that only white people drink white chocolate coffee drinks–utter madness.

True.Unbelievably true.I am well aware of the Lefty Lunacy of it and that they are serious.
A couple of years ago PETA was telling people milk is white supremacist.
It is indeed utter madness …like a RACIST FISH.

PETA could have easily claimed that milk is ‘udder madness,’ too, with equal “logic.”

Minnesota: Hamas-linked CAIR enraged, demands firing of barista who wrote “ISIS” on Muslima’s coffee cup
…………..
What claptrap. I can’t tell you how many times a Barista at Starbucks has misspelled my name–this is true even of people who know me. No big deal, and I would *never* try to get someone fired over this.
Then, what is this customer’s *actual* name? I know of two women, both African-American, who are actually named Isis (these both predate the Islamic State, and were probably a reference to the ancient Egyptian goddess). It could also be something that sounds similar, like Iris or even Aisha.
GreekEmpress says
Just another attempt at litigation jihad.
Target has stated that it was an honest mistake and the barista, a minor, was extremely upset over the error.
PS—As a former resident of Minnesota, and also as a former barista, I can tell you that some customers are not intellectual giants either! ?
gravenimage says
Thanks for that account, GreekEmpress.
And I’m sure that any of us here today, no matter our education or intelligence, would misspell some names–especially given the wide range of spellings on certain names.
As I look at it, the only reason names are put on cups in the first place is so the person at the next table over doesn’t accidentally take your soy mocha at the counter, thinking it is their pumpkin spice latte.
GreekEmpress says

andrew mckendrick says
You`ll find this hard to believe ,but when I worked in Afghanistan ,I worked with an American who had a company called….wait for it…. ISIS Solutions…..that was shortly before the terrorists adopted the name.

Maximilian Jehuda Ewert says
For the short time from year 2005 until March 2020 my name was -despute several written demands to correct- the French URSSAF ( tax for entrepreneurs,including a one person enterprise like a plumber or independent teacher) – misspelled my name Jehuda into Jihad.As correction sometimes Jehada ( the convert to Islam spell). After some weekly letters (832 to be exact) I had to play the racism card to correct this error.Than came corona and my business was over. Some people considered that divine punishment for being offended being called Jihad for 16 years instead honored.True Story.
gravenimage says
Wow. What I’d really like would be to see some Muslim called Jihad or Jihada accidentally called Jehuda…
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Who wants to play the Islamo Fascist lottery? Such humorless bastards. BTW
Isis is the ancient Egyptian moon goddess.
I miss the Saturday Night Live show before it knuckeled under to the thought police and subsequently instituted a very boring P.C. shadow of its former self. Bring back free speech and its rich and colorful forms of expression full of hilarious ironic humor.
Enough of this fascist thought control.
Maemae77 says
Come on now. Most of you here know that this is a hate crime hoax, considering the accuser.
Just another ploy to call Muslims victims as diversion from the fouls of Islam and Muslims involvement in the riots & terrorism fir the past month.
This one is to fool the police supporting conservatives that are blind about Islam’s sinister and diabolical intentions for America
Maemae77 says
Look at both S letters appear to be written by two different people.
When I suspect a hate hoax crime from a Muslim, I look back to see What they’re creating a diversion from.
There was recent news that exposed Muslims confirming their alliance with the BLM movement.
Considering BLM just admitted they were indeed a terrorist organization (in other words) is probably what they’re diverting from.
“Moderate Muslim’s” job to create diversions while indoctrinating the population and claiming more government power.
If most Americans would realize the role of the “Moderate Muslim” and how diabolical it is.
Like a movement, it takes millions to keep the population blind. The infiltration keeps control most Americans minds and does a good job at blocking any truths.
America is 330+ million population and there’s no way just a few Muslims could pull that off across the board,
I’ve seen this happening all over social media. Muslims wait for their opportunity to discredit any attempt of truths from getting out to the public from the truth tellers. They troll posts and comment sections very often. Their dedication and mostly fake profiles to deceive Americans, but you can tell it’s them when you test them and their response is that of a Muslim, not a non-Muslim.
Also, their indoctrination and Islamic propaganda in groups they run.
Maemae77 says
Another hate crime hoax to divert your attention from the fact that millions of Muslims have an alliance with the BLM movement which just came out recently.
The letter “S” on the cup appears to be written by two different people.
Notice how the first S is rounded while the other isn’t? ?
Also, notice how the last two letters are thinner?
OLD GUY says
Awe yes you must not offend the most offensive people on earth (MUSLIMS). You sure don’t hear CAIR saying anything about muslims screaming KILL AMERICAN’S do you. That should tell us which side of the terrorist threat they are on.
Gourdhead says
Sounds like a case of ‘the truth hurts’ to me.
James Lincoln says
According to the feature article,
“When the Muslim woman received her drink, she found “ISIS” written on the cup, according to the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
The Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization said in a press release”
In fact, CAIR is a front group for the muslim brotherhood, a terrorist organization – not a “muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization.”
mortimer says
Isis is a not-so-common given name that has been popular in Latin countries. The association with the Egyptian goddess is esteemed as ’empowering’ by Feminists.
Elizabeth Honaker says
I would NOT put it past the Muslim female to have deliberately given a name that sounded like the all-offensive acronym, specifically to cause a scene and raise a stink.
CTTV15@Hotmail.com says
I live in the present day crazy-house of Minnesota. It’s a mess, and this is just one more – of so many now – symptom of it here..
In my opinion, this is all part of a cookie cutter scam epidemic, right out of their national playbook for CAIR.
Don’t fall for this sort of thing please.
This, and other such faked incidents are happening all over the country. In Minnesota it is happening about every other day now..
EG: Try ‘the bacon on the Rochester mosque doorstep’ caper..
OR, the Rochester Ramadan Red Lobster ‘we were offended during Ramadan in 2019’ caper.
OR, the faked mosque vandalism in St Cloud MN caper a few years back (inside job discovered after investigation was completed).
Or, the most recent event in Stillwater, MN, and involving the Muslim woman, Sophia Rashid, (not from the community) and her 4 year old child at NINE O’CLOCK PM on June 27, 2020, going to a restaurant for a sandwich, and a few mean old ‘bikers’ made ‘eye contact’ with the pair, causing them to become ‘fearful’ and ‘uncomfortable, requiring restaurant lemmings (employees) to hold their hands, while the ‘manager’ led the pair across the street so they could FEEL ‘safe’..Lots of film taken of ‘the bikers’, as they were obviously curious (telling facial expressions and pictures) as to why so many pictures OF THEM were being snapped, and just as obvious, by a number of people OTHER THAN ‘the mother and child’.
Check out Sophia Rashid’s Facebook page.. Look at all the pictures of the mean old ‘Bikers’.. It reveals all you need to know about this piece of work.. Just another setup..
And, now this..
Oh Brother!.
..And, right on cue, just like magic, we have this weeks scam. Now e have the ‘Starbucks Coffee incident’ (her name is Aisha by the way – Very close to the pronunciation of the word supposedly written by the teenager on the cup, and ‘kid server’) Caper..
And, here comes Jaylani Hussein, and yet but ANOTHER of the endless ‘CAIR press conference’ performances of the week, bellowing accusations, and issuing DEMANDS on the 4th of July in the public square in Stillwater – OF COURSE..
By the by, on any given day there are hundreds, if not thousands of ‘BIKERS’ traveling through Stillwater, MN – some stopping off, and some just passing through – throughout the entire Spring, Summer, and Fall in Minnesota, including me and some buddies.. It is an extremely peaceful and tranquil place, UNTIL NOW..
Conclusion? ‘The Bikers’ in Stillwater MN are somehow guilty of the NEW crime of ‘Making Eye Contact’? Really? …and the kid at Starbucks is a stone cold ‘racist’? Really?
I would make ‘eye contact’ as well, if a bunch of crazies were chasing me down the streets and parking lots of Stilwater too closely, with cameras, and cell phone cameras clicking of a number of pictures of me and my friends as well. ..They looked annoyed, that’s all.. I would be too..
Or, the thousands of similar examples nationally,..
First comes the undocumented and unsubstantiated COMPLAINT..
Then comes the phony outrage –
Then, here comes Jaylani Hussein (MN CAIR), with the worn out PRESS Conference bellyaching, and the per usual list(s) of insane demands. –
Then comes the extortion of money, and demands for public apologies for made up and staged ‘offences’..
AND then the DEMAND for the per usual REQUIRED SENSITIVITY TRAINING BY A MN CAIR SELECTED psycho-babble ‘expert’.. (Can you say ‘reeducation camp’?)
Another clue: ‘MN CAIR (according to ‘himself’, Jaylani Hussein/CAIR, the pied piper of bull-scat) filed 360 law suits IN MINNESOTA ALONE in 2017′.. It’s like a not-so-little clue folks..
And as an aside, Hussein really hates anyone filming his group presentations.. In fact, HE takes every opportunity to BAN CAMERAS, and any RECORDING DEVICES, when he is up to his endless GROUP presentations and mischief..
Don’t fall for it! It is all a scam.. ..and these folks (the ‘new ungrateful americans’), scammers, and master Con-Artists and ‘Grifters’, and they are very good at it.. ..and its going on all over the country..
But, people in Minnesota are either willingly stupid, and insanely naive… ..’Willful Blindness’..
This is an outrage.. And I am sick and tired of every damn bit of it!
Ross Poldark says
Moslems and liberals have self victimization fake crimes down to an art.
gravenimage says
Turns out the litigant’s name is Aisha. Some people pronounce this name “Ay-ee-sha”, which is not that similar, but equally common is pronouncing it “Ay-sha”, which sounds a *lot* like “Isis”. Probably what happened here, especially since a lot of Americans are not familiar with the name.
