A store in New Mexico is banning 'Obama and other Muslims'

A convenience store owner in New Mexico sparked outrage by hanging a sign in his shop that reads, "Obama and other Muslims not welcome here." The store has apparently displayed other racist and anti-Obama messages for several years, the New York Daily News reports.
The owner also has signs mocking NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, whom he calls a "half-breed."
A former worker said that many locals in the rural area try to avoid going into the store, but can't, because it's "only place to get milk and bread."
