Forgive me if I wait to hear the company's side of this story. I highly doubt his central contention-- fired because he wouldn't pray.

He may still believe in the custom that one hand is for eating and one hand is for wiping. Eccch

Here is hoping they change their menu to inlcude BBQ Pork sandwiches

Let that SOB work for a Moslem establishment like the Luis Farrakhan businesses! If Christians are systematically discriminated against in ALL Moslem countries; then I need from him to prove to me (to the court) that he has been pleading with the Moslem governments for equal treatment of their minorities! He needs to show that he has been pleading with the Moslem legislators to declare separation of Mosque and State. Unless he proves that he is an activist for equality in his native Moslem lands, he does not deserve to gain from the fruit of our equality. These guys cannot have it both ways, treat others like crap in their countries, and come here and expect to be treated equal after praying for our destruction openly in the US Mosques, and all the Mosques around the globe!

Note to self: Eat lunch at Chick-Fil-A. If this guy doesn't want to work in a Christian atmosphere, he should get a job somewhere else. Perhaps there is a goat-burger-sheeps'-eyeball franchise somewhere in the Houston area that is looking for a manager. If he is not a native-born American, he can return to the hell hole from whence he immigrated.

Great, just what I need is an excuse to go shopping. I have been eyeing those pin-striped pants and skirts at Banana Rep, now I'll have to go buy them. Then I'll swing by Chick-Fil-A for lunch. Thanks for the tip.

Private companies should be able to hire and fire any F-ing person they want.

[PLK]

On a side note: buy as many clothes as possible from The Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic. That great company gives all its political donations to Republicans, and zero, zilch, nada to the 'Rats!

How do you know this? It's certainly not what I would have expected.

I'm disappointed that they didn't refrain from hiring the Satan-worshipping SOB in the first place.

I don't want to eat in an establishment which sells food that employs a damnable moslem. They can't be trusted.

Now, I'm not against them working per se, at least until it can be decided what to do with them. And I don't mind it if a moslem is employed to handle my food after I've excreted it. (cleaning sewer pipes, etc.)

Shhhhhhhh - you're making sense. Quit it. this is FR, doncha know, home of the double standard.

[Rustheman]

Speaking of Christian businesses.

Women, buy Ann Taylor clothing. The CEO is a member of my church and runs the company on Christian principals.

[craqed]
