Better cause for offence than the cultural appropriation burritos was it a while back.
Racism? If the implication deals with Islam then no as Islam is a religion, not a race. It might well come from a similar fear of the other as some types of racism but not in and of itself.
For my money. Somewhat distasteful (if nothing else it was more than marines deployed, and the reconquista also might have something to say) but were I need of a burger then it would not cause me to wander out of the shop like a "no coloureds" type of setup would. Won't fault others for walking away though.

It's not going to turn me away from a good burger. Honestly though there are too many snowflakes and bed wetters out there nowadays. 
I wouldn't eat there. Not because I cate about Islam in the slightest, but because it supports the military-industrial complex and the erosion of liberty at home and abroad through illegal and unconstitutional acts of war. The blind worship of authority and military figures has to end.
Although I do agree with you that we should not blindly support the military industrial complex, nor should we support big government. What about the brave men and women whose only goal is to stand in defense of our liberty and freedom? They may not agree with unjust wars but are willing to sacrifice their very lives to ensure that one day we do not wake up under sharia law?
Those individuals are whom I support.
I don't think there is any real threat of Shariah law coming to the US. We have an outspoken Muslim congresswoman right now. That's about as close as we're going to get, thankfully. Any operations we are involved in right now are in violation of Article 1 of the Constitution, and are political power plays. The fact that we've lost more freedom since the "War on Terror" started kind of proves to me that the military is not fighting for it. I mean, I can respect someone who thinks they're fighting for a good cause, but they are being lied to. Sorry, that's just what I've seen these past almost 20 years.
I wonder if this thread would be better suited in the politics forum?
Yes, actually I have stated on more than one occasion, whenever a friend or family member is considering serving that I do not recommend they enlist. For not only has the world became more dangerous but also at least under the previous administration our soldiers did not have the backing of our leaders. They didn't really care whether our soldiers lived or died. To them they were merely pawns on a chess board.
In a climate such as that, should you choose to enlist, your sacrifice would be in vain. It's a scary thought to be out there putting your life on the line to ensure the safety of your loved ones back home when you don't have the backing and support of your leaders.
Also, I think we do not need to underestimate the advancement nor the resolve of those who support sharia. I read a year or two ago a document that reveals the goals of those in support of sharia. In summary their ultimate goal is to institute sharia globally and they have made significant progress in realizing those goals.
Are you a robot who talks like that lol
Anyways I would probably just stay away from the place.
That excuse is so ridiculous, I was never afraid for a second that the US was about to come under Shariah law, and I don't think for a second that that has much of anything to do with the Marines. Yes, our military is insane, and isn't about to let our government be overthrown, but even without the military, we have police and millions of people that also wouldn't let such a thing happen. Regardless, can you imagine going into any place of business and see a sign celebrating the fact that the US isn't under Shariah law and not at least thinking that's a little fucked up to even have on your walls? Might as well have a sticker on your wall saying, "Hooray we haven't been genocided!" Its just as ridiculous.
Well I will have a large Double Decker Burger with Girkens and Tomato with lettuce in the middle and fried onions at top and bottom with Tomato Ketchup AKA Red Sauce!
Some Fries with Chicken Nuggets Thanks.

I still think we're safe. Think about all the guns we have and the crazy Christian right-wingers that would love to start an anti-shariah militia.
I long for a time when I could remain as pleasantly oblivious to reality as this.
The document I read a couple of years ago, gave details concerning their "100 year plan" to subdue America.
"But America has its own "Islamic fascists" right here at home. Once they amass the numbers, they secretly plan to nullify our Bill of Rights and religious freedoms and create their own Muslim state ruled by Islamic law. They've got a 100-year plan, but they're already making inroads.
Astoundingly, some of them head the allegedly moderate Muslim groups who protested Bush's use of the phrase "Islamic fascists."
The Council on American-Islamic Relations whined that the term contributes to a rising level of hostility toward Islam. "The use of ill-defined hot button terms such as 'Islamic fascists' harms our nation's image and interests worldwide, particularly in the Islamic world," the group said in a press release.
"Our nation"? Please. CAIR really only cares about the interests of one nation -- the nation of Islam -- and its own leaders are on record stating their desire to replace our constitutional democracy with a fascist society (as we know it) represented by sharia law.
"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant," CAIR co-founder Omar Ahmad once told a Muslim audience in Fremont, Ca. "The Quran should be the highest authority in America."
Lest anyone think he was misquoted, CAIR's own spokesman, Dougie "Ibrahim" Hooper, let it slip to the Minneapolis Star Tribune that he essentially wants the same thing: "I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future."
They aren't alone:
* The former head of the American Muslim Council -- supposedly the "most mainstream Muslim organization in America" -- exhorted Muslims to turn the U.S. into an Islamic nation ruled by Quranic law even if it takes "a hundred years," according to federal court records.
* Popular New York imam Siraj Wahhaj told his flock in a taped sermon available at his mosque: "In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing. And the only thing that will remain will be Islam."
* Another so-called moderate cleric, Zaid Shakir, admitted in a recent interview with the New York Times: "I would like to see America become a Muslim country."
These quislings aren't part of the fringe. They represent the Muslim establishment in America. And they are on record wishing America would be ruled by Islamic law and not the Constitution."

Lol Core you made me laugh so hard it almost caused me to fall out of my chair.

Lol no, I'm no robot.
As far as my opinion goes I would eat there and be thankful for our service men.
Racism will always exist among humanity just as the sky will always be blue. No reason to fight it. If you can't deal with it, then move somewhere else where you can live among like minded people. Most people mistake racism for a skin color thing when really, it's a cultural behaviorial/values thing. Nothing wrong with people wanting to live among others that share their same values and way of life.

I don't see the issue. The point of the sticker is that we don't have to conform to Arabic laws.
Right, we just have to conform to American laws. It’s always something. I’d eat here if I’ve had a burger and maybe (freedom fries, I’m sure this place serves them) from there and it was awesome. Thank you for serving.....me my burger.
Anyhow, if Arabic was my native tongue, I’d probably be offended and just skip this place.
