Religous discrimination against a muslim woman.


I've been doing web searches today and have found this news article about religious discrimination. In this case,discrimination happened in October 2012. La-Fleur Mohamed walked into a south Florida Chevron gas station in her Muslim religious attire. When she had waited in line and gotten to the counter, La-Fleur Mohamed asked the clerk to put 20 dollars into the gas pump. The clerk responded by demanding that she remove her veil. La-Fleur Mohamed responded by saying that she has a right to wear religious clothing if she wants to. The clerk proceeded to throw the 20 dollars back at the customer. Chevron defended the accusations by saying that it was just after Halloween and the employees had been warned to be aware of buglers in disguises,.Yet when the customer called the sheriff and he was present, the clerk still refused to provide service. This is an example of religious discrimination that happened only 8 months ago. If you would like to see the full article, please refer to the link below that will take you to the article on the NBC webpage.
