The Mall of America is in the Twin Cities, which now have a substantial Somali/Muslim population.
Cellphone video captured a confrontation involving a Mall of America security guard telling a man wearing a "Jesus Saves" T-shirt that his shirt is "offending" shoppers at the famously large mall in Bloomington, Minnesota — and the guard ordered the man to remove the shirt or leave the mall....
...The back of man's shirt reads “Jesus is the only way" and includes the well-known “coexist” symbol crossed out, the outlet said....
That's not a highly controversial assertion in a country with religious freedom. But in some places, it is.
...A second cut in the same clip shows the guard getting angry as he sharply tells the man, "If you want to shop here, you need to take that shirt off!"
The man asks what's wrong with the shirt, and the guard replies — with his voice still raised — that "it is religious soliciting; there is no soliciting allowed on mall property, which is private property!"
The guard adds, "We've had guests come up saying that they've been offended by your shirt ... take the shirt off, and you can go shopping!"...
"Guests."
Uh-huh.
