In the rural mountainous south, an awful lot of these franchises are owned by Muslims. Some were seen dancing and celebrating 9/12.

That was an urban legend. There was the same rumor about our local Subway here in the midwest. The dude that owned the restaurant had to put up like 50 flags to convince people he wasn't a terrorist.

Taking franchises from a veteran is unacceptable, however. I hope they fix the situation.

I'm not saying all of them. But a lot of them. As I can look with my own eyes in my own area and know their names and their legal troubles--not a legend. And the part about the 9/12 party was witnessed by a customer that was not only a former GI, but an acquaintance of mine.

And the Iranian owners put up all kinds of flags, too.

Same deal with HOP franchise in same area. A few weeks before 9/11, the Egyptian manager/owner pulled his kids out of school and left the country. Didn't even make his last payroll.

Also are often hotel managers.

Muslims have different habits of entrepreneurship in the US--they don't like borrowing money through banks, but prefer to borrow from family members to start businesses. They need a lot of legal help for that, and your local corporate attorneys know who and where they are.
