Family and friends of a Marine who reportedly was refused service at a Fort Worth convenience store staged a protest at the store Tuesday. The demonstration brought a sense of resolution to family members, according to NBC 5, after the store owner fired the employee who denied the service.

Store owners did the right thing too. Good story, all the way around.
Yes, that is what I thought. And I imagine that the owner was honestly appalled.

No room for traitors be they Republican or Democrat.....
"When we heard about this thing last week, we fired the guy that minute, but we apologized to the mom and everybody," owner Munirah Kabani said.
Oh the asshat can discriminate and insult a Marine but if he gets the living sh!t stomped out of him, he is the victim of a hate crime. I think some things should be considered freebies. Stomping on people who disrespect service members, people who talk bad about your mother and anyone who sticks their ass up in the air to pray should be considered a freebie with no charges filed.
It should apply equally to all service employees, News employees, TV network employees, and any other tiny hitlers who think that having a job entitles them to inject their personal (usually ignorant) political perspective into the service s/he is being paid to provide.
Amen.
Don't know the owner's nation of origin or religious preference. More importantly, who cares? They did the right thing.
Doing right is doing right, regardless of the religion involved.
You sure the owner didn't just put him to work in another store down the block or a few streets over?
You know the clerk was probably a family member.

Sounds to me like you want an open season on all Moslems. Is that about it? Kinda makes a joke of our freedom of religion, don't you think? Not all Moslems are our enemy. We're in Iraq to help a whole bunch of Moslems establish a democratic form of government. Is that wrong?
Took some digging at the story's link, but the original email from the Marine's sister does ID the culpret as being ME.
Store owner's name, Munirah Kabani, kinda gives a hint, don't you think?
And yeah, open season on Muslims might not be that bad an idea; wouldn't be any reflection on "freedom of religion" either, unless you define "religion" loosely enough to include the degenerate belief system called "islam".
True. My comment was more along the lines of wondering whether the refusal of service had to do with the religious affiliation of the employee.
And when the liberal nutjobs get a hold of this story, the ranting and raving about the employee's rights will begin.
