Official U.S. policy on Iran prohibits sale or exportation of goods to Iran from the U.S.
Litigation jihadists from The Council on ANTI-American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on Apple to change its policy following reports of Farsi-speaking customers being denied service.
AJC Sahar Sabet, an Iranian-American student, said an Apple Store employee Alpharetta, GA refused to sell her an iPad on after hearing that she would be sending it to her cousin in Iran. The stores manager said, ‘I just can’t sell this to you. Our countries have bad relations,’ ” Sabet told Channel 2.
A manager at the mall later showed Channel 2 Apple’s policy, which states that the exportation, sale or supply from the U.S. to Iran of any Apple goods is strictly prohibited without the U.S. government’s authorization. A State Department representative also told Channel 2 that it is illegal to travel to Iran with laptops or satellite cellphones without U.S. approval.
“I feel like this is a bit of racial profiling (DING DING DING! Coaching by CAIR detected) against Iranians and I’m appalled,” Zack Jafarzadeh, who is from Virginia, told the TV station. He said he was denied service at the Apple Store in Perimeter Mall while trying to help a friend buy an iPhone. He said his friend is from Iran and is studying in the Atlanta area on a visa.
Do a google search on this idiot and see who and what he is, I can’t believe this jerk lives in my area.
AA, which idiot?
I think he means Zack whatever. I did a zabasearch and got nothing that is definitive. First problem is Zach is almost certainly a nickname with only a loose resemblance to his given name. Second problem, Zack is a student and his home of record could be anywhere in the US. Third problem, since he is from iran, his surname has no no fixed form in English. There may be multiple versions in use within the same family, even by the same person.
LK, OK, not important.
There they go again. DEMANDING! Who the hell do they think they are to make demands??? Excuse me asslifter, this is OUR COUNTRY!
People better wake up to this and get the idiot OUT of the White House since he’s the one who invited them in and will stand by them over standing for our country or citizens!
So right shaz, and I WOULD use the a-word you did but I’ve already used my quota for today on another post! And, like you said, this is our country, and we should not have to be concerned about being PC all the time! And if there is a trade restriction with the muslimes of Iran, you can damn well bet it has been put in place for GOOD reason!!
Why don’t they all go to Iran and build their own computers. They should take their acts to the nearest comedy club. Just because they think they are special, we don’t.
Muse:
Arabs, and especially muslims don’t and can’t build anything except hate.
They have had their countries for centuries and have done nothing but dodge camel dung and scratch sand fleas.
When the U.S. discovered oil under their camel dung, they became people of substance.
They have done nothing by themselves except conquer others and take credit for their strides forward from liars like Obama.
Terrorist front group CAIR demand that infidel technology be exported to an islamic state? Surely not, would they trust the ‘chips’ inside? spying and self-destruction ones
Good for Apple for sticking to their policies! I hope they don’t koutou to the thugs of cair.
I’m in agreement with Shaz.
Who the hell does cair think they are demanding a company what to do.
However, if Apple is going to deny Iran, they need to deny Saudi Arabia and a few other countries on they have listed on their site.
It isn’t because Apple won’t sell them the computers or phones, it’s because there is a Federal Sanction in effect. I have no trouble believing Apple would be sending boat loads of computers and phones to the listed countries it they wouldn’t get into trouble with the Feds.
whos going to build their computors when the world is under islamic control.
Weeeeeeeeeel! Did Mohomad have a laptop?
Yes, he did and her name was Ayshia his child porn buddy.
I do not want to confess negative scenarios but I suspect somehow government policy regarding banned exports to Iran will be set aside because CAIR demands.
We already know that zoning laws do not apply to Muslims. Anything goes in order to cave into their demands. Our constitutional rule of law has been repeatedly trumped by the shariah.
Talking about evil scenarios, I have predicted that the big O will grant full pardons to the 911 masterminds after the election, win or lose, when he has more flexibility.
There is a breaking point. Remember Nixon.
In the 80′s it was illegal to do the same to China but I noticed Clinton sold them several Super Computers. SO today they are preparing to threaten our military and the space program and our financial programs so what else do the commies in our government want, Oh I forgot he a mohommedist and Iran is mohommedist so this does what to the law?
Send computers to Iran with non-removable spyware on them leaving a backdoor to Western spy agencies.
Look at it on the bright side. They are spinning their wheels and hopefully wasting significant amounts of money and legal talent trying to coerce Apple to break the law.
WAIT A MINUTE? WHAOOO HOLD YOUR HORSES,
I thought the muslimes did not want TECHNOLOGY ,
So why do they want computers, for the children to play games NO!
So they can go on facebook NO!
So there mothers (bagheads)can keep in touch with each other NO!
So they can watch tv programmes NO!
So that the men can correspond with each other in order to organise more terrorist acts, and try and hack all military main frames, YES, YES YES YES YES ,Is that why APPLE will not sell to Iran?.
