DENVER — A vendor on a Colorado Army post was ordered to stop selling a T-shirt with an anti-Islam message after a shopper complained. The T-shirt depicts the Statue of Liberty wearing a burqa, the all-covering dress worn by some Muslim women, with the words, “Don’t let this happen America.”
It was being sold at a kiosk in a mall outside the post exchange, a retail store at Fort Carson outside Colorado Springs. The Army and Air Force Exchange Service said Wednesday that it ordered the vendor to stop selling the shirt because it violates rules against religious or political merchandise.
Chris Ward, a spokesman for the exchange service, said the T-shirt was sold by ‘Merica Apparel. A woman who answered the phone at ‘Merica Apparel said the company had no immediate comment. The company is based in Colorado Springs.
