Raja'ee Fatihah, a U.S Army reservist from Tulsa, was asked to leave a gun range in eastern Oklahoma, according to ABC News. This was only after he identified himself as a Muslim. Fatihah is suing the gun range in federal court, pushing against anti-Islamic beliefs in America. Attorneys for Raja'ee Fatihah filed the lawsuit on Wednesday in U.S. District Court. The lawsuit is against the owners of Save Yourself Survival and Tactical Gun Range in the small town of Oktaha. A sign at the gun range declared it "Muslim-free." Fatihah's lawyer Brady Henderson says similar signs have been placed at businesses in Florida, Arkansas, Kentucky and New York. The store owner's attorney, Robert Muise, says Fatihah was denied service because he was belligerent, not because of his religion.
