The New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NY) today issued a referral letter to the NYC Commission on Human Rights asking the commission to investigate whether Laura Loomer (right) , a conservative commentator and creator of ambush videos, violated New York City Human Rights Laws prohibiting discriminatory boycotts, blacklists, and related practices.
Since when can’t a private citizen express her opinion about a business or service that she finds dangerous?
CAIR On November 1st, 2017, at 8:40 a.m., Loomer tweeted, “I’m late to the NYPD press conference because I couldn’t find a non Muslim[sic] cab or @Uber @Lyft driver for over 30 min! This is insanity.”
Later that day she posted, “Someone needs to create a non Islamic [sic] form of @uber or @lyft because I never want to support another Islamic immigrant driver” and “I generally try to not support Muslim owned business companies [sic] here in NY.”
These statements, if true, suggest that Loomer refused or cancelled rides when she perceived the driver was Muslim. Loomer has expressed similar sentiments in recent months.
Last month, she tweeted that Uber drivers “commit terror attacks and rape on the daily.” In early June, she tweeted asking how many people are “going to be killed in Jihad” by Uber drivers. (See links at bottom)
NYC’s Human Rights Law makes it illegal for a person to “refuse to buy from, sell to or trade with, any person, because of such person’s actual or perceived. . .creed.” The law also provides for civil penalties of up to $250,000 for discriminatory conduct that is intentional or wanton.
The commission has the authority to initiate investigations into claims of discrimination based on reports from the public, such as the referral letter sent by CAIR-NY today.
“The Supreme Court may be willing to ignore anti-Muslim bias, but our city must remain committed to fighting bigotry,” said CAIR-NY Legal Director Albert Cahn. “There simply should be no place in New York for anti-Muslim workplace discrimination.
Sadly, the Commission’s own data shows that 72 percent of harassment, discrimination and hate crimes go unreported. That is why it’s essential for organizations like CAIR-NY to combat all forms of harassment and discrimination.
New Yorkers have the right to say and believe whatever they want, no matter how biased. But our law is clear, you cannot boycott or discriminate against businesses because of their religion.”
I agree with Ms Loomer 100%. I too refuse to patronize any Muslim owned business of any kind.
Laura Loomer is one Gutsy Lady & I agree 100% with her. NO Muslim Driven Uber/Lyft/Taxi for me, No Never!
What CAIR is trying to say is a law in New York, is no such thing. No such law prevents individuals from boycotting or calling for boycotts of businesses.
This pretty and smart young woman uses the sense God gave her to stay far away from anything moo-slime? Oh noes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You go Laura! Even if they don’t rape and kill you, they stink to high heaven and just came from torturing some helpless animal for fun, or raping their 4 year old “bride”.
VERY smart lady!
I typically read about one moslem uber/lyft driver assault a week. As with everything else moslem, that’s only the ones that make it to the surface. Tip of the sand dune, so to speak.
Smart lady.

UK Taxi Rapes
“No Woman is Safe in a Cab”
July 17, 2013
……….BBC radio host Sam Mason, a single mother, was fired after she called a taxi company and requested a “non-Asian” driver to take her 14-year-old daughter to her grandparents’ home; preferably a female driver. The operator refused, and said, “We would class that as being racist.”
Great Britain is in the throes of a rape and pedophilia epidemic unlike anything the country has experienced in living memory.
Many of the sex crimes are being perpetrated by Muslim child grooming gangs responsible for drugging, raping and torturing hundreds and possibly thousands of British girls.
But another wave of sex crimes involves predatory Muslim taxi drivers who are raping female passengers. The number of so-called taxi rapes is snowballing to such an extent that a British judge has issued a warning that no woman can expect to be safe while traveling in a cab.
However, a much acclaimed report produced by the London Metropolitan Police Service estimates that on average there are a total of 1,125 sexual assaults, including rapes, each year involving taxi drivers in just London; this works out to approximately 22 sexual assaults against women by taxi drivers each week in England’s capital city alone.
Moreover, according to a report entitled, “Ending Violence against Women and Girls in the UK,” published by the Home Office in March 2013, only around one in ten women who experience serious sexual assault report it to the police. As a result, one can infer that the actual number of taxi rapes across Britain as a whole is far greater than many are willing to admit………
Someone should look into the strange cases of murdered men in boston….seems a pattern is going on involving bouncers…and car lift services like whats desribed….
victor, They should definitely look into it!
CAIR has gone too far now! Terrorist-linked Supremacist CAIR, talks about human rights whilst many MUSLIM RAPIST FIENDS Lyft and Uber drivers — SATAN’S SPAWN, have raped a lot of our non-Muslim girls!!!
DEATH SENTENCE for DIRTY, DEMONIC, RAPIST SAVAGES!
CAIR Barbarian Monsters are EAGER to DENY Human Rights to our women and girls!!! DENY our non-Muslim women and children the right to PROTECT themselves by not getting into Muslim driven Lyft and Uber cars!!!!!!!!!!!!
‘I was afraid I was going to be raped’: Lyft driver charged with sex assault of teen

Desperation by CAIR: Laura Loomer is smart as she understands the threat Male Muslim drivers can be: this is not a law suit CAIR can win: freedom of choice is not discrimination, self protection is a choice, Islam has the choice to change its own but refuses to do so therefore go cry on your way back to the middle east where its best suited for all Muslims.
C.A.I.R. …. your meter is running out of time ?
Muslims issue death threats then sue when she won’t make it easy for them to murder her. Popcorn time?
Laura, You’re to pretty for radio …. get your face on Fox …. and get a “showfer” driven limo ?
Muslims issue death threats then sue when she won’t make it easy for them murder her. Popcorn time?
Is this only in NYC? How can you be forced to ride in a vehicle with someone you don’t want to? I never see Muslum drivers out here, thank God. They are mostly Mexican.
It’s more than control freakery, Don: it’s terrorism!! CAIR is engaged in terrorism by agency: using a government agency to intimidate a kuffar.
Those tweets do not constitute a Boycott ‘cuz there is no organization and no directive to act beyond calling for infidel competition.
Laura should contact AFDI to arrange for defense counsel. and get Pamela Geller to support each of those tweets with a well documented blog post. Each tweet should have included a link to documentation.
Muslims would love it if they thought they could legislate against allowing free individuals to make personal choices.
Where does the ‘left’ stand on this issue?
We know. A certain baker just challenged them and won. “Anti-discrimination” laws violate our right of freedom of association. Mus-slimes just love them because we are forced to cooperate with the civilizational jihad.
The left always stands with the Muslums.
I’m stunned by the Human Rights Commn that states that the consumer cannot discriminate on the basis of creed. The consumer!
Their cars are gun free zones. You can’t be armed in an Uber. Because of a sign/”policy”? We know how well that works. This is survival. I use Lyft and would cancel any ride with a muzz sounding driver and proudly give the reason why.
Personal and free choice is not discrimination, no matter how CAIR-NY twists the situation to suit it’s own agenda.
But, but, but, but . . . doesn’t Islm form BDS on every USA college campus they can for infringing on their “civil rights;” including suing schools who don’t want their “justice for Palestine BDS lies to intimidate the other students? Fordham University doesn’t want it, so the Mohammedans KEEP suing them (they’re relentless bullies) to gain the right to force BDS onto the campuses. Fordham is a law school.
“Fordham Students Sue over Free Speech Rights to Establish Students for Justice in Palestine Group.” Warning, this site is a filthy liberal pro Islm / illegals, anti USA site (I left a message to the “contact” page about their lies). But the article tells what’s happening.
As typical, it’s “freedom of speech” when Islm wants to spew its taqiyya & boycott kafirs; & “h8te speech” when a kafir speaks out against Islm’s mandate teror, r.ape, & torture. Islm is nothing if not hypocritical & full of lies.

If you’re smart you wouldn’t trust one as a doctor ,you wouldn’t trust one around the food you eat and you sure as hell wouldn’t trust them around your children. Look at this muslim “refugee” pissing in your corn flakes.

ET, there’s nothing that shows he’s a muslim there.
Sure you can discriminate against any business. Anytime that I see a Halal sign in front of a restaurant or kebab place I simply don’t go in. Now if that makes me guilty of violating NYC’s law than color me guilty.
You see motheMAD was a total control FREAK!!!!! SO it simply follows that EVERY DAMNED MUZSLIME who FOLLOWS that FREAK is going to be total totalitarian dictator CONTROL FREAK. Exactly what cair consistently displays. Muzslime need killing.
