Former Muslims with Ex-Muslims of North America (EXMNA) were kicked out of a Starbucks connected to a Hilton hotel in Houston, Texas, on Saturday. Video shows Lina, an ex-Muslim Syrian woman, physically barred from re-entering the Starbucks after she had bought an iced coffee and was expelled from the establishment for wearing a t-shirt.
In the video, a Hilton manager came out to prevent Lina from re-entering the Starbucks. At first, he suggested that if the EXMNA volunteer merely removed her t-shirt, she would be admitted. Later, however, he refused to allow her companion to enter the premises, even though he was not wearing an ex-Muslim t-shirt.
"You're not allowed on the property," the manager said. When asked why, he reiterated, "Because you're not allowed. You've got shirts right now."
When pressed again, the manager explained, "There's a protest going on. You can if you take your shirts off, whatever."

"This appears to be a case of discrimination," Muhammad Syed, president of Ex-Muslims of North America, said in a statement. "We were asked to leave the premises and informed that we could only enter the premises if we removed the shirts, none of which stated anything inflammatory."

Is that like being kicked out of a business for wearing a MAGA t-shirt?
Houston, another once great city going Marxist. Vote people. Vote dammit!
Next do “Ex-GAY”.
Looks like open-minded-tolerant-liberals didn’t want to know why.
I have a couple shirts that I should try out at Starbucks
One says Black Guns Matter
The other says Take back the Rainbow
They are tolerant about the things they like — and only the things they like.
It never occurs to them that the concept of “tolerance” is really about how you handle the things you don’t like. Their approach (stomping on anything they don’t like) really shows that Liberals are completely intolerant.
hmmmm…..Starbucks discriminating against customers on the basis of their religion.
Sounds like a Federal case. Fortunately they can rest assured that Jeff Sessions won’t awake from his nap.
It seems a little more complicated, in that it was their being “protestors” that seems to have resulted in the expulsion. There was a big Moslem event going on nearby, and they were giving out ex-Moslem information. The Starbucks and hotel employees are quoted as saying that “protestors” were not being allowed on the premises. I think this is reasonable: keep the fighting out of the lobby.
The ex-Moslem people denied they were “protestors,” but they were certainly part of the general event-protest-counterprotest-whatall milieu, so it’s a debatable technicality.
If, in fact, everyone from all sides of the hullabaloo was being excluded from the Hilton, I think that’s fair.
The owner was likely Islamic. They execute ex-mozlems in Islamic countries. It’s like joining the Mafia but in the Mafia you don’t have to get on your knees for the Don 5 times a day
Definitely religious discrimination.
Correct, and that is on full display with the Kavanaugh interview at present. They really are insane with hate.
Can Starbucks do ANYTHING correctly? (and that includes brewing coffee) Fake Liberals....they’re actually dictatorial dogmatists.
“But I’m homeless”
Even nonpaying customers are more welcome at Starshrugs
Sue ‘em ‘til they own ‘em.
Wouldn't have mattered what city it was. It was a Starbuck's.
Sharia law implemented - you simply can’t be an ex-Muslim.
Why is only the Left allowed to be disruptive. Sounds like Starbucks and Hilton Hotels need a lesson in blow back.
I guess I won’t be wearing my “Non-Muslim Infidel” T-Shirt at Starbucks.
