Sue Craigslist??? That just shows that those that filed the suit understand nothing of how Craigslist works or why the Internet was established in the first place. Sounds like an attempted money grab to me.

As a work-around, go to Tools -> Options -> User Options, and turn on "intelligence".


I am divided on this topic, while I see both sides of the picture on this story. First of all craigslist can make policies regarding what people can and cannot post. but on the other hand they must clearly let their customers know the landlords policies and should on that level be a transparent between customers and landlords. So no craigslist should not be completely responsible its users posting their polocy...However they should consider looking into their policy regarding who they represent... they have the same right as the landlords, to deny service to anyone. But they would then run into the same problems the landlords have... denying service to the landlords based on their beliefs on who would be the best tennents.

Basically there is no easy solution... If you have a problem with the landlords sue THEM...

The first.... well is just discriminating fully on race, not looking for applicants that will line up with beliefs but purely off of looks...sad and racist...

They all have rights to deny service to anyone... as long as it is not soley based on ...religious belief, race,gender or social status... Interviews are the best way to do that ...post rules not religions as requirements... you can make rules that would cater towards a belief system without being discriminatory* 

rules always discriminate on those who don't want to follow them but as long as it is not saying stuff like ...must eat pork ... and the like :) the jews and muslims are sure missing alot of good food but hey do as you like* (as long as you are willing to accept the consequences) it is a free country after all.

The fact of life is we discriminate everyday..no way around it.. they are called judgment calls... if you are in a metro area and there are 5 fellows wearing loose clothing walking on the same side of the street as you and approaching you... would you switch sides?

so are you a racist... or do you not want to get mugged? that was a judgment call...smart or racist you decide...

It's CRIMINAL the way they led the bad guys use the law as a pretext for getting away with the bad stuff like this. "Only Muslims apply" -- how much more of a giveaway do you need? Craiglist is quite clearly sympathizing with the TERRISTS, and in cases of National Security like this, it has to be said that Abiding By The Law Is No Excuse!

This is exactly the kind of situation the Bush Administration is trying to prevent. And here we have Congress and the Courts just getting in their way!

Learn how to spell terrorist you door-knob. And did you miss the part of the article with the listing "Clean Godly Christian Male"? No, I think you just decided that that one was okay (you racist). This is a case of discrimination not terrorism.
