Andy Hallinan is the owner of\u00a0the Florida Gun Supply store who recently declared his shop a &#8220;Muslim-Free zone.&#8221;At first glance, the cases of\u00a0both men may not appear to\u00a0be all that similar, but\u00a0put them together and throw in\u00a0a Confederate Flag, and you have a perfect nutshell of\u00a0the many controversies plaguing a nationwide dialogue on\u00a0discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s precisely what happened.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Hallinan announced a raffle on\u00a0his website for\u00a0an original Confederate flag painted by\u00a0none other than\u00a0George Zimmerman. According to\u00a0the site, half the proceeds will go to\u00a0Zimmerman\u2019s legal bills, and the other half will go to\u00a0Hallinan\u2019s, who is currently facing a federal discrimination lawsuit filed by\u00a0the Council on\u00a0American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). The proceeds will also help advance both men\u2019s &#8220;mission to\u00a0change the country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the Remainder at<strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/sputniknews.com\/us\/20150818\/1025899029.html\">Sputnik News<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That&#8217;s the Spirit!
