https://www.al.com/news/2019/0...kilmeades-event.html A Birmingham restaurant is closing Saturday in response to an event featuring a Fox News host. The Shu Shop is located on 3rd Avenue North in the theater district near the Lyric Theater which is hosting Brian Kilmeade’s live show, “America: Great from the Start,” this weekend. Kilmeade is the co-host of “Fox & Friends,” Fox News Radio’s “The Brian Kilmeade Show,” and Fox Nation’s “What Made America Great.” In a Facebook post, restaurant owner Adeeba Khan said it will be closing Saturday in response to Kilmeade’s event. “Why?” You ask. It is because our neighbors at the Lyric have chosen to host an event that is anti-immigrant, hostile towards brown people, pro-wall, and that goes against what we believe in at Shu Shop,” Khan wrote. “As a decent human, first and foremost, a person of color, a woman, a second generation immigrant of Pakistani decent, and a Birmingham native, I refuse to contribute to anyone’s hateful b*******. I love my city. This is my city. This is OUR city.” Khan said hosting the Kilmeade show “flies in the face of everything that my Birmingham is about – love, acceptance, knowledge and respect.” The restaurant is typically open 5 p.m. -2 a.m. on Saturdays. In an interview with AL.com, Kilmeade said the Birmingham show, part of a series of national speaking events, will focus on lesser-known historical stories about people such as Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. The event will also include a question-and-answer session in which Kilmeade will address current topics. In a statement to AL.com, Tom Carruthers, chairman of the Lyric Board, said through the years, the facility has been used for a wide variety of “civic discourse, entertainment and even worship.” “We have had liberal, progressive, and conservative viewpoints presented from our stages, as well as the beliefs of several different faith traditions. We have hosted artists, writers, comedians, clergy members, musicians, playwrights, politicians, elected officials, chefs, actors, activists — nearly every type of performer you can imagine,” Carruthers said, adding that the Lyric and the Alabama Theatres, both owned by the same nonprofit organization, are rental facilities. “With the exception of movies shown at the Alabama, the acts that appear here are brought in by private promoters who rent the facility. The views, thoughts and opinions expressed by a performer on stage at either theatre do not necessarily reflect those of the Board of Directors, the Junior Board, donors, the administrative staff, the technical staff, theatre volunteers or even the promoter. “Our own commitment to inclusivity has often obliged us to stay neutral with regard to the political and moral controversies that surround individual acts and artists. Since the public is required to purchase a ticket to attend an event at the Lyric, attendance is up to each individual,” Carruthers said. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed. Luke 11:21 "Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." -- George W. Bush | ||

Birmingham bullshit! RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||

Birmingham should boycott the restaurant Friday through Sunday.  Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Speaking of press, why is this even news? If the owner had to close for the day because he had a case of explosive diarrhea, would that warrant a story? | |||

safe & sound |
If a cake baker can be sued, so can a restaurant. If it's good for the goose..... | |||

Close your shop. Don't open it again. You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless. NRA Benefactor/Patriot Member | |||

Wait. So Khan is fucking its employees and business because another business that has nothing to do with them is having a show that has nothing to do with them? Most restaurants operate on pretty tight margins. Khan is pissing away an opportunity to have a better than average night run because Khan is sad. Khan can fuck right off. ___________________________________Sigforum - port in the fake news storm.____________Be kind to the Homeless. A lot of us are one bad decision away from there. | |||

Birmingham? Like in Alabama? Huh. There’s assholes everywhere ETA: It never ceases to amaze me that the Leftists continue to lose their shit over ONE television station that breaks with liberal orthodoxy. The Left controls higher education, print and broadcast media and they cannot stand the fact that the total monopoly is broken. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

How soon they forget that on 10 September 1963, Democratic Governor George Wallace dispatched 100 State Troopers to prevent 13 black children from entering a Tuskegee school as ordered by the United States Supreme Court, then ordered is Troopers to Birmingham the following for a similar action. Wallace boasted "I want you to realize that there is not a single integrated school in the state of Alabama yet." Most of Birmingham was silent Yet now, they are being vocal about racism pointed at the one political party that opposed slavery and segregation since the 1800's.

But, having not been given a decent education in American History, many of the Lefties don't even know that it was Republicans who were in the forefront of Civil Rights and the Democrats were staunchly in favor of the status quo (segregation and second-class status). The few that may have been exposed to these truths have chosen to disbelieve it, even though they are adequately documented. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Could be more than one day. Customers will look for a local alternative and may decide to continue with it. Ryanp225: Please--not homeless. We have too many of those around already.

That's pretty much what I was going to post. She so WOKE! You know...those Demotards be all inclusive and shit. Whatever... Enjoy your day off, Sweetcakes. I'm sure your employees enjoy getting screwed over, or did you offer to give them a PAID day off WITH a loss of tips??"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||
