Famous for his controversial signs, Domenico’s Ristorante owner Michael Pollice erected two in-your-face signs that had Muslim heads exploding. “I like to push stuff as far as it can go,” Pollice said.
Cranberry Patch CRANBERRY, PA – Michael Pollice, who is known in the community for his thought-provoking—and sometimes controversial—signs, erected a sign last week that said “Flying Remote Control Airplanes into Muslim People at the Mall is My Thing.”
The sign, which received local—and even national—media coverage ignited a firestorm of responses that ranged from support of Pollice’s message—which he said was a joke—to defense of First Amendment rights to downright outrage and disgust.
According to Pollice—who said business at the restaurant actually increased—the responses at first inspired him to poke back (which he did in the comment section of the Cranberry Patch article) and to push the envelope even further. By Saturday, a new sign he posted in front of the restaurant read, “If This Sign Offends You, Call a Dead Soldier’s Parents to Complain.”
Pollice apparently changed his mind after he got a threatening call from the litigation jihadists at terror-linked CAIR (Council on Anti-American Islamic Relations)
Pollice said Asim Kokan, a board member of the Pittsburgh chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, asked him Wednesday for a face-to-face get together to talk about the sign.
Pollice agreed to the meeting, which also was attended by Kazim Reza, a member of the Muslim Association of Greater Pittsburgh and a local realtor, Scott Rudolph, a pastor with the Unitarian Universalist Church in Franklin Park, and Donna McNamara, an active member with the North Hills Anti-Racism Coalition.
Pollice said he had never before spent time with Muslims, and doing so changed his attitude. (Being threatened with a lawsuit funded by the Muslim Brotherhood is enough to change anyone’s mind) After explaining he thought of the sign as a joke, he and the visitors got along fine. (Somebody needs to educate Pollice other than CAIR. Send him a link to this website)
Pollice added he apologized bowed to Islam numerous times to the group—and even offered to hold a fundraiser at the restaurant to benefit a new mosque for the Muslim Association of Greater Pittsburgh. The association currently rents a space in Wexford.
“I think it was good thing for me,” Pollice said of the meeting. “I’m better for the experience.” (If you believe this, you are a fool)
Unsure at first of what to expect, Reza said he also was pleasantly surprised at the meeting. ”He was very calm and very apologetic for hurting the feelings of Muslims and others,” he said of Pollice. “She felt is was very, very inappropriate,” Reza said of the emailer. “She felt hurt. She felt it was totally uncalled for.” (CRAP. This is nothing more than the usual pressure tactics to kill our first amendment rights. Muslims are perpetually outraged and offensive to all non-Muslims)
Reza also invited anyone with an interest in learning more about Islam to attend prayers at MAP’s mosque in Wexford. “We do not stop anybody. Anybody can come,” he said. “You only have to follow the basic disciplines of the mosque.”(Here it comes, proselytizing for Islam never stops)
As for Pollice, he said the incident wouldn’t deter him from posting quirky signs in the future. By Thursday, he had a new sign up that he said shouldn’t offend anyone—except maybe marine life. It reads, “Dolphins are Just Sharks Who Watch Glee.” (How about posting this one?)

Wish I lived near. A business standing up for America. We need more businesses to do the same!
Michael Pollice has balls. Nuff said.
EW, but he caved to CAIR. He only has one ball.
Yes, he “caved,” but if he hadn’t, he risked lawsuits (the infamous mudslime lawfare) and,possibly, property damage (as in broken windows – or worse, possibly fire-bombing). Remember these muzzie asshats are on a constant and escalating jihad, and NOTHING can be taken for granted anymore – including the cowed polizei in most cities that have to tow the PC line insofar as bringing these effin’ scumbags to justice. As you yourself said, even the THREAT of a muzzie lawsuit is enough to change anyone’s mind – particularly if he has a lot to lose (like his livelihood!!!).
Yes, indeed, score one for the scumbag mudslimes – their intimidation tactics worked in this case; and worse, the First Amendment was sidelined even more!!
But if Pollice has increased business from the Good Guys, that’s very important to him and his family. He’s made his point – and I’m sure EVERYONE knows how he REALLY feels! Perhaps, in the privacy of his home, he should go on various anti-pisslam websites, contribute to anti-pisslam non-profits that help fight actual lawsuits brought by the pondscum of the Religion of the Perpetually Offended, and any other way in which he can express and move forward his gut instincts that inspired him in the first place. “There’s more than one way to skin a cat” (or eff a muzzie…).
He’s got no balls. He could have taken the sign down without licking CAIR’s boots like a whipped dog. He’s dragging America down with him.
TH, hold your venom. I’m not at all sure the news article wasn’t dictated by CAIR. I have contacted the owner to see if I can get more of the story. It seems to me I’ve seen a lot of these CAIR-backed stories sympathetic to Muslim from papers around the country that have the name “Patch” in them.
Sure thing but I wasn’t responding under the assumption that the article might be a misrepresentation of the facts and apparently neither were you.
TH, not at first, but then I reconsidered, knowing how CAIR operates. I still haven’t heard from the guy yet, so either it’s true or he’s scared to death because his family has been threatened.
Either way not a sunny picture.
Next, his food will be hallal…
I’ll send him a note about taqiyya.
The best opponents of Islam are ex-Moslems who were DEPROGRAMMED from this barbaric DEATH CULT.
Moslems are brainwashed from birth and victims of the STOCKHOLM SYNDROME. They are victims of the Death Cult, too.
We must demand our Western governments DEPROGRAM MOSLEMS or there will never be peace on earth.
We are frustrated that politicians are allowing the Moslem problem to grow and are not controlling immigration or deprogramming Moslems.
Here: contact@domenicoscranberry.com
PLEASE, BE POLITE. Ask him to read the qur’an and mention taqiyya.
The best answer yet. The problem with the vast majority of people is they have never read the qur’an, which is the most evil book ever written!
Why do we keep referring to their primitive book as the Qur’an instead of the ENGLISH Koran? I am sick and tired of hearing our guys use their Third World lingo.
Right. That is the problem. People think that opponents of jihad are extremists because they don’t realise the threat posed by Islam. We need publicity given to the vile passages of the koran, that abrogate the nice ones so often mentioned. We need to publicise the books and blogs which expose the Muslim threat. We need to make soft-minded church and Jewish leaders realise that there is nothing ecumenical about Islam. We need organization.
One reason I’ve never read the Qu’ran is because reading the texts of a false god is sinful. A Christian mustn’t taint their minds and souls with false gods or idolotary of any kind, especially the demon seed of Ishmael.
Just as a Muslim has to wash their hands to pick up the Qu’ran, I can not defile my hands by touching that same wicked text.
I have been tempted to read it to “know your enemy”, but no, I can live without it. I should not involve myself with the demon seed of Ishmael in any way.
Turtle, I understand your position, but why do you keep referring to The Terrorist Handbook as the Qu’ran? We speak ENGLISH and the name of the primordial text is the Koran. Actually, you can read it in the following context. For a great laugh Google “scientific miracles of the Koran.” Some of these savages actually believe their silly book predicts major scientific breakthroughs (which occurred in advanced Christian nations…lol).
Compare their tortured logic to what the Pedophile MoHAMmed actually dictated and you can spend an entire day laughing at the primitive idiots.
Thanks, Susan – I wrote a note of encouragement (with some gentle suggestions, of course), telling him to “keep the faith!” and that his gut instincts were right on the money from the get-go (but were thwarted, of course, by threats & intimidations from the gang at CAIR, among others). And I hope he joins all of us here at BNI, as Bonni herself suggested!
Good story on two different levels BNI. Mr. Pollice was threatened with a lawsuit for exercising his 1st Amendment rights.
CAIR filed a lawsuit and Pollice agreed to a sit down with his adversaries. Yes only adversaries file or threaten legal action against you.
CAIR new that a small businessman would most likely not be able to endure a $15-20 large to defend yourself against some dopey signs.
Pollice submitted, CAIR screamed victory (as intended), and another politically incorrect voice in the wilderness is silenced.
Pollice knew what he was doing and more importantly why. If Pollice had politely told his adversaries he has a legal right to say what he wants on his property and ask them to be more tolerant of other peoples views and not to threaten your neighbors with legal action.
Then Pollice should have put up a sign saying he was threatened by CAIR to keep quiet or else.
The “fear” of a lawsuit is very real and sobering. Do not fault Pollice for caving until you have been on the other side of a legal threat.
That is why I respect BNI and her founder – She submits to no one and BNI is her internet signage exposing the reality of the world around us – One news story after another.

Vito says, “Mama Mia No Shariah”
One Team One Fight
RJ, I just knew it. I doubt he could put up a sign about what CAIR Nazis did. He probably was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement to keep his mouth shut.
Love to Vito!
BNI Warrior Princess,
Have you considered giving Mr. Pollice a phone call and doing a follow up story. That is something I would like to read.
You and Mr. Pollice have a lot in common experiencing what it means to experience threats and intimidation.
I’ll bet you two Cannoli’s he will open to you.
RJ, that’s a great idea. I will try to contact him.
Excellent.
muslims can have him ! we don’t have room for fools who pretend they don’t like muzzies ! sides he sounds like an obama voter.
BLR, read the RAdio Jihad comment.
see your point ! we got a few good lawyers on our side too. but it needs to be the right fight this one ain’t it.
AMERICAN PATRIOTS’ MOVEMENT OF AMERICA
He’s a moslem cockroach ass-kisser – plain and simple.
F**K him!
His business should go bankrupt!
JB, That’s it for you, you dumb schmuck.
so….kow towing and NOT fighting back is the answer? Are you deep down working for the commie in OUR wh?
Stacy, this is your first post here and you know nothing. I have been the subject of threats from Muslims and we don’t know what degree this man or his family were threatened. I have offered him a chance to tell us his side of the story if it differs from the one posted, and if he takes me up on it I will let you know.
In the meantime, for insulting me, you are now banned.
ALL muslims, not just the loud, litigious, terrorist supporting eternally outraged, liars at cair need to go home, go away or go to (fill in your own destination here).
A perfect world has no baby raping, wife beating, rape victim stoning, Homo hanging, little boy and farm animal molesting, honor killing, lying, demonstrating, demanding, acid throwing, female mutilating muslims.
Disgusting that he backed down. Someone tell him that he just gave in to a terrorist organization.
Read BNI’s response above – AND Radio Jihad Network’s explanation of/expansion on what damage CAIR can visit on this one person. We share your disappointment, but better that Pollice lives to fight another fight – with other “weapons” at his disposal…
Perhaps I rushed to judgement. It’s insane that CAIR is still allowed to operate, let alone put pressure on a man who put up a sign that offended crybaby muhammadistas. Perhaps we can form a petition for Anders Breivik to have a one day release, where he can be sent into CAIR HQ. I won’t lose any sleep when it comes to actual terrorists like CAIR. They disgust me!
If only he had chosen the right target. Bang for the Buck.
I can’t get enough of the first sign, I so love it!! If Pollice ever gets his other ball back (wink to Bonni), perhaps he could make one about sending pork chops to all offices of lawsuit fanatics terror-linked CAIR thugs?
So, when can we expect Halal food on the menu?
MM, you can bet a Muslim has never been in that restaurant until CAIR fouled the air there.
Pollice, you caved. You folded like a cheap lawn chair. I cannot believe he is dhimmying up and actually holding a fundraiser for these pagan bullies. Sigh.
A foundation with money is needed to counter saudi funded CAIR lawsuit jihad to protect free speech….pronto.
I swear, everything offends Muslims.
Muslim:”This offends me!!!! That offends me!!!
I’m going to kill peoples!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAA!!!!”
So sick of Muslims throwing a whiney, tantrum, fit over the smallest things. They are always making a mountain out of a molehill. Wish all Muslims would deprogram themselves and grow up.
Here we go with what is expedient.
Another win for intolerance.
Damn shame he caved! Lawsuit shmawsuit…do it for your forefathers, for your kids, for freedom, for AMERICA! We will donate to the cause.
ND, that’s his livelihood. He can’t afford to fight CAIR in court. It would break him. I have emailed him. If he wants his side of the story to come out, I will do anything I can to help him. I have a feeling that news article was dictated by CAIR.
AMERICAN PATRIOTS’ MOVEMENT OF AMERICA
There was a person I would have considered as an American patriot, but I consider him as a moslem cockroach ass-kisser.
He and other moslem ass-kissers disgust me.
James, you are way out of line. You have no idea what kind of threats Muslims make against we who speak out. So shut up!
Baloney,is the guy a coward or just stupid?Or maybe money is in it for him if he kisses ass. Why the tuff talk with the signs if he wasn’t willing to go the distance. It’s like some fool that acts tuff by giving the finger and yelling fk you, then when you go to knock him in the face he runs away yelling “I’ll call the police” a pussy.
Yes, we must give him the benefit of the doubt. They probably threatened to send in some women armed with plastic explosives hidden under their trashbag burqas!
“Flying remote control drones up muslim peoples asses would be my thing.”
Changed it around a little…
Nice. A little music would be nice, something like “Fly Robin Fly”.
Another suggestion, the music to Temptation Eyes.
So is this the way Americans will go? Caving in every time cair breaths down our necks? What would the Constitution signers say? They gave up their fortunes, and pledged their sacred honor, even on to death. If anyone thinks that the fight against these muslim envaders in America is any less than what our Forefathers faced, you are sadly mistaken. We are in a real fight for our constitution, our culture, our freedoms, and eventually our very lives.
So they could have actually have sued him for posting signs in his own property? Really? Then we have already lost our freedom of speech. What if I put up a billboard on my lawn that said Allah sucks goat dick. Would that be alright? Sick of all these cowards bowing down. But, I get that makes his living there. Might want to put a little faith in the patriots that do exist in this country instead of in his fear of Islam. Weeeeeeak!
Natalie, in this country you can sue anyone for anything. Even if they know they are going to lose, CAIR will do it just because they know their target can’t afford it.
Most excellent!
“Pollice added he apologized to Islam numerous times to the group—and even offered to hold a fundraiser at the restaurant to benefit a new mosque for the Muslim Association of Greater Pittsburgh. The association currently rents a space in Wexford.”That’s embarrassing,he sounds like a pussy to me.
John, I am reserving judgement until when/if I hear from him. If he does not respond to my email, I guess we will have to take the news article at face value. I am giving him the chance to set the record straight, if, in fact, he did not say those things, or somehow was coerced into saying them.
Why would I patronize this guy’s restaurant? He turned into a dhimmie after being “confronted” by CAIR and those other lefty loons!
Curtis, I am trying to confirm whether or not he actually said these things or they were fed to the paper by CAIR. A trick they often pull.
Caving into the Mudslimes only emboldens them. He will regret that he did so. He has the 1st Amendement and the fact is was humorous on his side. CAIR would have had a tough time actually getting anything to happen. As to the threat of violence thing, he should have seen that coming years before he set up a sign. Nevertheless, I agree with BNI. We need to hear his side of the story not the CAIR/AP propaganda piece. I as soooooo sick to death of Muslims.
May God Bless and keep Michael Pollice and his family and Domenico’s!! THAT is the kind of reataurant where I would love to dine!! Hope you also have plenty of tasty PORK dishes on he menu! I might suggest also having a couple pigs out in front of the restaurant for mascots, though city ordinances would probably not allow for live pigs, a couple nice PIG sculptures would do nicely!! Right on Domenico’s AND Michael…gotta love a guy AND a restaurant like this!!
Hahaha….”Flying Remote Control Airplanes into Muslim People at the Mall is My Thing.”
I have 5 remote control planes and one is the spitfire. They can’t run from a spitfire!
Tamed by the Religion of Peace! This guy is a nutless bitch!
he is a pussy….the exact same thing MANY Americans are doing…..kow towing to the filthy muzzies!
Bill Balsamico has the BEST signs I’ve ever seen! He apologizes to NOBODY! Check out his signs:
