I read the story and I don't believe any of this krap. It's unbelievably hard to fire an employee these days and there's no way the company just released them because they are Muslims. I'll wait and see how this plays out.
If their claims are correct, then they were fired unjustly. If they have copies of the emails telling them to lay low whenever September 11th rolled around then they'll have pretty much won their case.
If they were fired because they refused to do part of their job, then it's on them.

I don't know the whole story just based on one article either, but it is incredibly easy to fire or not hire someone on-record for something and off-record for something else. Numerous employers have taken one look at me as a blind person and told me some BS like "we don't have any positions available"--once ten minutes after trying to recruit me for an interview on the phone. Guess I wasn't what they were "looking for". All the protected minority laws in the world won't stop people from discriminating in the workplace because all it takes is citing any BS reason--"we're downsizing"--to get away with not hiring or firing someone cause they're Muslim/Black/gay/disabled/whatever. All those laws do is change discrimination from being on-record to being off-record.
Sounds like they have a good case if they can prove the CEO did indeed make those comments. I expected to see a story of them taking breaks to pray all day and how their religion affects their work but I didn't see that in the story.
