A Florida Family Association supporter who called the hotel said "Seven Gables Inn said they canceled Muslim brotherhood meeting."
Americans who are concerned about CAIR’s history and agenda have the First Amendment Right to complain to hoteliers who host such events and choose hoteliers who do not give place to the same. Florida Family Association’s online campaigns have influenced the policies of other hoteliers regarding such events. Florida Family Association did not expect the hotel chain to cancel the event but to consider concerns regarding the booking of similar events in the future.
