Bookstore Named Isis Vandalized-How Stupid is the Average American - cletus1 - 11-26-2015 Idiots Keep Vandalizing Bookstore That Has 'Isis' In The Name It's an Egyptian goddess, people. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — A Denver-area store called Isis Books & Gifts wants the world to know its name comes from the Egyptian goddess of healing and motherhood and it isn't run by terrorists. Co-owner Jeff Harrison said Wednesday that the suburban Denver shop has been vandalized five times in the past year or so, probably by people who mistake the name for ISIS, one of the acronyms for the Islamic State terrorist group. The latest vandalism came last weekend when a store sign was smashed after the terrorist attacks in Paris that killed 129 people. The store sells books and gifts related to spirituality, religion and healing. "Isis is the name of an Egyptian goddess, 3,500 years old at least, the goddess of women and healing and childbirth — basically the antithesis of everything the terrorists are about," he said. Harrison suspects the vandals are "some ignorant people believing that somehow the terrorists have a store, a gift store, in the middle of Denver, Colorado." The store has been around since 1980 under the Isis name. He and his wife, Karen, have owned it since 1997. Harrison said he's heard from other businesses with "Isis" in their names, asking if they planned to change. He tells them no. "For now, we are definitely sticking with the name," he said. The store has not suffered from the name confusion. "Business has been fine. Actually on the uptick," Harrison said.

If we start going down that path, the ignorant will dictate how we all live.

Besides Cletus. The ignorant already dictate a great deal of "how we live". Most of the laws we have wouldn't be there if not for the ignorant. Anyway if I was that business owner and I was vandalized FIVE times? I wouldn't be worrying about society giving in to the ignorant. I would be trying to stop my business from being vandalized.

If I were him though, I would not change the name of my business because some stupid fools vandalized it. I like the fact that he is unwilling to be motivated by fools. If I were him I might install cameras and ask the police to help, but the hell with changing the name of my store. I might even buy a bigger sign.

This is also why I believe the Washington Redskins should not be forced by over sensitive ignorance to change their name either.

RE: Bookstore Named Isis Vandalized-How Stupid is the Average American - tvguy - 11-26-2015 Maybe it's not people upset with the name ISIS at all? Maybe it's people pissed off at low life scam artists who peddle this psychic BULLSHIT and take advantage of the weak minded just to make a buck? I hope someone keeps trashing their sign.

The name Redskins refers to native Americans. The name Isis refers to the Egyptian goddess. There is no question of ethnic insensitivity with the bookstore. Its just plain stupidity. There is a question of racial insensitivity with the Redskin name. And I'm not discussing that totally different subject here.(11-26-2015, 06:23 PM)Someones Dad Wrote:(11-26-2015, 03:48 PM)cletus1 Wrote:(11-26-2015, 03:19 PM)tvguy Wrote: After reading this I wonder who is really the idiot......
