A Tim Hortons employee insulted the couple, who are Muslim and Algerian-American, and told them, 'This isn't your country. Go back to your country. I thought you had your papers.'
An advocacy group has filed a complaint with the Michigan Civil Rights Department based on religious discrimination on behalf of a couple, who alleges that a Tim Hortons employee told them to"go back to your country."
"This kind of discrimination here in the United States — it was very sad and hurtful," Dhaimini said. Weatherspoon-McKinney, who just started working at the Tim Hortons a few weeks prior, says that she made the comments after the couple started to act rude to her, stating that"they also offended me." Amy Doukere, an attorney with the Council of American Islamic Relations, claims that this recent situation is part of a concerning trend of increased incidents of Islamophobia.
