Would you like some cheese
with your whine?
There is a such thing as consequences:
COOKSTOWN, N.J. - The father of one of the six men charged with plotting to massacre soldiers at Fort Dix says the business near the base that he's nurtured for years is all but ruined since his son's arrest.
Muslim Tatar, who has owned Super Mario's Pizza for five years, said his lunchtime crowd from nearby McGuire Air Force Base and Fort Dix has largely disappeared, replaced by empty tables and nasty words from passing motorists.
"Now I am a target," the 52-year-old Tatar said, adding that his business is "99 percent dead." ...
Since authorities announced the arrests on Tuesday, a cook and two waitresses quit the restaurant out of fear they would be targeted, said Warren Cline, another cook at the pizzeria.
"Normally we'd be almost full. People liked this place, and Tatar is a very friendly owner," Cline told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Saturday's newspapers. "But people drive by, they give us the finger."
Cline said delivery business is also hurting since the restaurant can no longer bring food to Fort Dix or McGuire Air Force Base.
Hmmm... maybe CAIR could file a lawsuit, and force everyone in town to eat at your restaurant once a week.
UPDATE: ... Tatar decided he had to take some sort of action to protect his business. Outside the restaurant, he hung a sign reading: "Under New Management."
Except, its not under new management, you liar. Why should we believe anything that comes out of your mouth.

I wonder how many people actually believe that this ass clown had no idea what his kid's personal beliefs were.
Counting the days until the Star-Ledger reports his bankruptcy...5...4...3...2...

Hey, does that pizza shop have a wooden spoon? You should have smacked your son on the backside with it a few times.

I consider the guy who called in the tip-- the one who works at Circuit City-- to be a hero.

I'm sorry to edit you so harshly Nicole, but I don't want any mention of that on my site. Some people are just looking for attention and all he wants is for someone to talk about him.

Well, Mr. Tatar should see the brighter side of things- there's always the pizzeria the he can open up somewhere in Albania.
I can only wonder if we somehow had the means to plumb the depths of Mr. Tatar's ignorance, would we find a 'causus beli' for terrorist acts in the name of Allah because right minded folks decided to boycott his pizzeria? Its entirely possible that his respect and gratitude for this country is only as deep as the cheese on his slices.
