| A Muslim truck driver is suing his former employer, saying he was fired for refusing to transport beer. Ibrahim Barzinji of Nashville filed suit in federal court this week against Arkansas-based J.B. Hunt Transport. Barzinji says he had transported a load of auto parts from Clarksville to St. Louis last June when he was asked to pick up a return load at the Anheuser-Busch plant. He says he told the dispatcher and a supervisor he couldn’t do that because it was against his religion. Barzinji says the supervisor told him to choose between his job and the load. Barzinji says he did take a different load back to Tennessee but was then fired. The company declined to comment. |
