ILLINOIS Coroner under fire for Facebook post re: Muslim toilet ‘etiquette’ and Starbucks pledge to hire 10,000 ‘refugees’
A Southern Illinois coroner’s Facebook post about Muslim toilet etiquette has ignited a firestorm. with designated terrorist group CAIR whining the loudest. Marion County Coroner Troy Cannon this week shared a meme on Facebook that showed a bearded Muslim man sitting on a toilet, along with the Starbucks coffee logo.
BND The meme states: “This is a Muslim they don’t use toilet paper they use their hand. This is Starbucks they vow to hire 10,000 Muslims. Enjoy your coffee.” Attempts to reach Cannon for comment on Wednesday were not successful.
The meme itself is no longer visible on Cannon’s Facebook page, but the dozens of comments about it remained Wednesday morning.
Some commenters took offense. “This is a gross generalization of the Muslim people. You should be ashamed of yourself,” one wrote. Another, Eric Slater of Salem, wrote: “This is racism. You’re a public servant. I regret my vote.”
Others supported Cannon. One wrote: “He’s providing a public service … ever hear of E. coli?” Cannon, in replies to comments, said he served in the military in Iraq and knows about Muslims’ toilet etiquette. (Below)
“I only shared something that, from my own experience, is absolutely true, and in response to Starbucks making a very discriminatory, inflammatory announcement,” Cannon wrote. “I don’t ask anyone to agree with me, it’s factually accurate. Sorry you feel disheartened, but the truth is uncomfortable at times.”
Cannon, a Republican, was elected in November to a second four-year term as coroner. Marion County’s Republican Party Chairman Ben Stratemeyer said Wednesday he had not seen the Facebook post.
“As you described it, it would sound offensive, but I haven’t seen it,” Stratemeyer said. “Some people like bathroom humor. A lot of comedians make a lot of money off bathroom humor — I’ll just leave it at that.”
Hoda Katebi, a spokeswoman for the designated terrorist group CAIR Council on American-Islamic Relations in Chicago, described the meme as very offensive. “It’s just silly,” Katebi said. “It’s petty.
Starbucks did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Starbucks on Sunday announced plans to hire 10,000 refugees around the world in 75 countries where it does business, over the next five years.
Marion County Treasurer Patti Hahn, a Democrat, said she hadn’t seen the Facebook post, but she said it sounds offensive.
“Facebook used to be a place where people posted what they were cooking for dinner, or that their kids had soccer. Now it’s getting into this political bashing crap that nobody wants to be a part of,” Hahn said. “Nobody needs that. Nobody wants to read that stuff. Be positive.”
Muslims follow the traditions of their Prophet Muhammad, who performed istinja, the act of washing the private parts with water after committing najis, which is the “filth” we commonly refer to as the numbers “1” and “2.” Paper and certain rocks can also be used to facilitate the process, but water alone is the preferred accomplice.

Facebook Could Reveal Your Voting Record
TOLD YA SO! Sooner or later Twitter, and hopefully Facebook, will be replaced by social media that does not censor speech with which it disagrees
NOV182016
There’a s new Social Media website called GAB.ai that is becoming very popular with people who value the free expression of ideas, ALL IDEAS. Unfortunately, there is a very long waiting list to get onto GAB.ai. I am #140,800 on the list.
Bye Bye Twitter
CatchNews Over the last few years Twitter has done a lot to curb the abuse and trolling that have come to be a large part of the noise on it. While the politically correct brigade has cheered on every such move, the curbing of free speech has upset many others. Now, a free speech alternative is here and its gunning for Twitter. Not surprisingly, the first to be attracted are US conservatives.
Launched in August, Gab.ai is still in its beta phase with a pretty long list of people waiting to get in. With near-total freedom of speech, this platform is attracting users by the thousands. As of 16 November, when this reporter tried to sign up, he was #127,177 on the waiting list. 25-year-old Andrew Torba, a Silicon Valley-based Trump supporter, founded the social network as an alternative to Facebook and Twitter. Gab’s hashtag is #SpeakFreely.

“At Gab, we believe that free speech and free thought are under attack. Political correctness has risen up at the expense of freedom of speech and has become a cancer on discourse and culture. We think that people shouldn’t treat unpleasant, counter-cultural, or conflicting ideas, words, or behaviors as full-scale criminal offenses,” Torba writes in a Medium post.
Gab promises to do away with all of that from the get go. It’s a simple website where people can follow others and follows the Reddit model of upvoting and downvoting posts they see on their timeline. There is a tab called ‘popular’ where the most upvoted posts get featured.
What gives Gab the edge is that it is devoid of censorhsip. Well, except for threats of violence, illegal pornography and releasing personal information without the subject’s consent. Gab’s solution is self policing. “What makes the entirely left-leaning Big Social monopoly qualified to tell us what is ‘news’ and what is ‘trending’ and to define what “harassment” means? It didn’t feel right to me, and I wanted to change it, and give people something that would be fair and just,” Torba told BuzzFeed News.
Users can mute others, filter posts based on words that have been flagged and view content only from verified users, if they chose to. Gab will not be stepping in to censor anything.
