McDonald’s has agreed to pay $50,000 to settle a lawsuit that claimed it discriminated against a Muslim employee in Fresno who wasn’t allowed to grow a beard.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says the settlement was reached Thursday with McDonald’s Restaurants of California.

According to the suit, Shaheed Khan was a crew trainer at a Fresno McDonald’s in 2005 when he asked to wear a beard to work, citing religious beliefs. He quit after the request was refused.

Good for them. They’ve been big lib supporters ever since Ray died, let them reap what they sow.

If MickeyD’s had declined to hire a Muz on the basis of the unsanitary condition his eventual beard could create, how much would he have been awarded in the discrimination lawsuit?

I don’t want beard hairs in my food. Especially after an employee recently made love to his goat.

$50,000 was cheaper than going to court and well worth to be rid of this thieving CS’er.

Bring back the heat lamps, Styrofoam containers, and fries cooked in beef fat!

When I first heard of Mrs. Kroc’s support of liberal causes I ceased being a customer. On those rare occasions now when I visit a fast food franchise only Culver’s gets my business.

So if a Mormon employee refuses to serve coffee and McDonald disagrees, the Mormon can walk away with 50 thousand?

So, if a Christian refuses to work at McDonald’s on Sundays citing religious ‘beliefs’ and gets fired, do they get 50K too? This Muslim ass-kissing is really getting out of hand. And to think, 9/11/01 was a just a little more than 12 years ago. Unfrickin’ real!

That was my first thought. Disgusting.

Will McDonalds now do away with their Egg McMuffin if a Muslim works there? Think about it; there's the dreaded bacon on that McMuffin.

Discrimination against Christians and what they believe in, is the only thing that is allowed in our society

fries cooked in beef fat!

I'll bet they'd be even better cooked in lard or bacon fat.

Should have paid this off in those chicken wings they can’t get rid of.

I doubt it, the Mormon isn’t going to threaten to chop off anybody’s head if he doesn’t get his way.

That violent threat seems to work with the muzzies.

Fries cooked in lard have a flavor like no other, as in delish!

If McD’s announced that this is how they will do fries, business would soar & muzzies would stay away on both sides of the counter.
