Captain Morgan website asks visitors to confirm they are ‘non-Muslim’

By James Hockaday, Metro, September, 23, 2019

People were outraged to find Captain Morgan asking visitors to confirm they were ‘non-Muslim’ before entering their US website.

It provoked intense theological debate online, with some calling it an example of ‘back door Sharia’ and others branding it ‘corporate racism’.

Although Islam forbids the consumption of alcohol, there is nothing in US law forbidding the sale of alcohol to Muslims.

The age verification box was spotted on Saturday and quickly taken down, but Captain Morgan did not issue a statement until Metro.co.uk contacted the rum brand.

Twitter users who defended the age verification message were asked if people should also have to swear they aren’t Jewish to order a bacon cheeseburger or if meat shouldn’t be served to Christians on Fridays.

People also questioned why visitors weren’t asked to confirm if they were not Mormons or baptists, who are also taught to avoid alcohol.

Far from being a case of discrimination or an attempt to appease religious zealots, it turns out a technical error was behind the puzzling message.

A spokesperson for Captain Morgan said: ‘Over the weekend, a misconfiguration on our age-gating files for our US Captain Morgan website meant that people were shown our United Arab Emirates age gate window in error.
‘In the United Arab Emirates it is commonplace for alcohol brands to request verification of this kind, in addition to age-gating, in line with UAE alcohol licensing requirements. We corrected this as quickly as possible.’

Yeah. Unless the website serves booze, why block viewers?

In the United States of America, any website that I have encountered that sells alcohol products has an age qualification. There are also age qualification questions, prior to website entry, for tobacco products and anything firearm related. I’ve yet to encounter one that didn’t have something to that effect.

Huh. I quit drinking before the internet existed, so never had reason to go to a booze website.

I’ve never been very fond of Captain Morgan Rum. However, if they would have kept that up (non-moslem entry only), I’d start drinking the swill.

This offends me that they even thought of asking this. Why not ask if they are Mormons? This is even offensive to Muslims. Yeah, they get offended by anything, but anybody would be offended. This is just stupid. I can only imagine what goofy leftist wrote this.

Well allegedly the UAE site was unintentionally displayed for US viewers. In the UAE, selling to Moslems might not be legal.

The question could/should have been put forth only when someone actually tried to buy liquor.

In UAE, Captain Morgan might find it is not in their interests to even advertise alcoholic beverages to Moslems. I think you are looking at this in a manner abstracted from the world in which Captain Morgan operates.

Best to refuse to serve islamos, then no lawsuit like LGBTQWXYZ’s suing cake companies, islamos claiming you served them pork flavored rum.

‘Plenty of (practicing) Muslims drink…’, it’s always nice to see a retarded member of the dying atheist West spew off another nonsense defense of f’ing muslums and their death cult.

Nazis drank alcoholic beverages and guess what? That didn’t make them good people, but that’s the implication the white, whinging worm was making about f’ing muslums when the made the comment.

Perhaps, if they had added a question that identifies those who have connected booze with trouble–[9.9 out of 10 on Euphemism Meter]–then we wouldn’t be wondering whether there is a creeping Sharia compliance subtext. No? Yes.

I firmly believe that ALL websites should make being a non-moslem a requisite for entry.

I once came across a muslum website, but all the content was hidden behind a login page and getting a valid login ID was a process I wasn’t willing to go through.

When I was “White Privilege”, I started perusing moslem (the vilest of ALL creatures) websites and youtube sites. Then, I changed the name to “Achmed Mohammedan”, which very few caught the insult (“achmed” instead of “ahmed” and “mohammedan”). Oftentimes, I would explain everything to them. Then, when “Infidel Mohandjob” allowed me to borrow that surname … In any event, there are many moslem youtube sites. Going in and playing with the monkeys is tons of fun.

Does that hold for Muslim cab drivers refusing passengers carrying booze then too?

Or passengers with dogs?

Cause last I hear those were perfectly legal here, but mulslim cabbies were refusing service to them.

And the “This is terrible, it’s perfectly legal for a muslim to drink in the US, this company policy is back door sharia.” is the wrong argument.

If muslims aren’t supposed to drink, then it doesn’t matter what country they’re in, they shouldn’t be ordering booze. What happens if Captain Morgans is sued, by some muslim parents mad their kid was served alcohol.

And I don’t know if anybody here saw the Rebel Media video where a thirteen year old boy dressed in a full face burkah, and NOT ONCE was he asked for I.D. in the liquor stores.

The UAE is well known for the smuggling of alcohol of all kindsinto saudi Arabia and the Gulf states. Nothing new here except another example of Muslim hypocrisy.

I can’t see the problem! I ask a certain type if they’re moslems quite often. And if they confirm that they are then it’s business over and I have nothing more to do with them.
Works for me!????????

This is ridiculous. Here company is trying to do the right thing and help Muslims avoid alcohol according to their religion. And all you people do is tear them down for trying to do the right thing. They were only trying to help. Is that so wrong.? Why is everybody looking for something to be offended at? how many folks need to get a life and just pay attention to your own comings and goings and stop worrying about what everybody else is doing. Mind your own freaking business!

This is simple. I am sure CM does not care what religion you are. This is just protecting themselves from the muzzums. You know Jew, Christians et al would not sue if ordering online. However the muzzums would, so they just to cry they did not know it was alcoholic.
