At least that is what the restaurant in Shreveport, La is being accused of. I would wait till all facts are in before forming a opinion. According to the Muslim husband, the restaurant employee said this to him:
She asked me point blank Are you Muslim? and I said, Yes, Im Muslim, She said We cant serve you and locked the door from inside when my wife was still inside the store, Husain said.

The situation quickly escalated and Husain ended up calling 911. So did a Subway employee. At some point before police arrived, however Husain said the employee unlocked the door and let his wife leave but also made it clear they should take their business elsewhere.
An officer with the Shreveport Police Department arrived after that. Both Husain and a department spokesman said the officer initially patted Husain down to check for weapons. But spokesman Cpl. Marcus Hines said the officer eventually determined the situation was much ado about nothing. Department records show the officer didnt even file a report.
Flemings employees deny Husains version of events, and claim that security tapes prove that there was no discrimination against the couple. Still, the Shreveport police are ignoring a request for an investigation by the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
