HoustonChronicle.com - Suit accuses Chick-fil-A of religious bias

Houston resident Aziz Latif claims Chick-fil-A's Christian stance runs deeper than simply being closed on Sundays.

Latif, a Muslim, said he was fired a day after he refused to pray to Jesus Christ during a training session in November 2000.

A week before his firing, the lawsuit said, an evaluation praised Latif as a "great manager" who knew the "operation side of the business very well."

The lawsuit said the company [also] refuses to pay Latif's medical bills and expenses incurred while a participant in Chick-fil-A's employee benefit plan. He is seeking reinstatement and damages for emotional distress, attorneys fees and back pay.
