If it is clear in the contract that they can sell pork, they should win. If not, they shouldn’t. Law is (or should be) very binary.
Seems pretty clear-cut to me.
Islamic Bank? I thought it was kafir to borrow or lend money for interest—
There can be no separation of “church and state” when the Saudi government (state) is funding the expansion of the state religion (Islam ONLY) around the world specifically in the west to the tune of millions per mosque (as a means to buy off Wahabi terrorists back home in Saudi Arabia).
Does a separation of church and state just mean our OWN state or ANY nation state mucking about over here?
And there IS a nation of Islam established around the world. The citizens of Islam bow to the segregated capital 5 times a day every day and never speak out against the discrimination against the kufir in Saudi Arabia. That’s moderation?
Kosher pork? Huh? Is that like Halal ham?
An Islamic bank, bent on enforcing Sharia law?
Bummer, I liked Church’s too.
People who demand freedom FROM religion, if they are offended by the overwhelming Christian majority here, are welcome to their opinion. But no atheist or agnostic has the right to complain if the majority of us are religious, if we pray and post the Ten Commandments we believe in and build monuments with crosses, that is OUR right, and NO ONE can take that from us. Not Islam, not atheism. We didn't fight and die for 200 years for a Godless, secular country.
... no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burthened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief; but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinion in matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish enlarge, or affect their civil capacities.
Yeah.... they have the crunchiest chicken anywhere and it’s fried fresher, not kept as long as other chains.
Oh well. No more for me.
All that I mean when I say freedom FROM religion is that I have the right to not practice a religion.
Yep.
What we would need is a challenge to the CFA policy.
A prospective franchise owner who is denied because he intends to open on Sunday. To see where the arguments go.
I don’t do Churches and don’t plan to start but this makes me furious—to learn it’s owned by Islamists.
Don’t know about the US, but in Canada their product is served at A&W- I’m not aware of any Church’s franchises still around.
It sounds a little like they're shaking them down for a settlement. A great number of us, myself included, won't knowingly shop at an islamic business and you can be sure the financing company knows it. If they make a big enough deal of it in this lawsuit it will probably drive Church's out of business.
It wasn’t bad chicken, it was bad service what did them in!...............
Truett Cathy is one of the nation’s most endearing success stories. Beginning with a small restaurant, The Dwarf Grill, in Hapeville, Ga., in 1946, he opened his first Chick-fil-A restaurant in the early 1960s. The privately-owned corporation is now the second-largest quick service chicken restaurant chain in the U.S., with 1,400 locations and annual sales of $2.6 billion in 2007.
Not one of the locations is open on Sunday, and never will be.
“It was not hard to decide to close on Sunday,” said Truett Cathy, who first implemented the policy at The Dwarf Grill, and calls it the best business decision he ever made. “When you work 24 hours, six days a week, you’re ready for a break.”
The closed on Sunday policy is one of three points of a covenant that the family put in writing some years ago.
“Success is all about succession,” said Dan Cathy, explaining a covenant the family formulated to articulate their commitment and values and re-assure store operators that current priorities will be sustained in the future.
The covenant also spells out the company’s commitment to never go public, and to always make decisions regarding the business in a consensus format.
Family members may have different perspectives, but it is important that the parents and the three children be together and in harmony in the decisions, said Dan Cathy.

I learn something new every day on Free Republic that I would certainly not learn from the conventional media.
"Come on down for Church's Chicken Bomb in the Bucket! Grab Mohammed and Achmed, and we'll take your order! Come on down!"
I really like Popeye’s spicy chicken.
