Muslim FBI guard: I'm getting harassed because of my beard or religion or something...give me $3 million

Nothing to see here just another muslim filing a lawsuit claiming racial/religious discrimination.

But what stuck me most is that a 72 year old muslim is a guard for the FBI headquaters for New York City. Isn't a 72 year old man too old to be a guard. It's also a bit worrying that a muslim is guarding the FBI especially after considering the Fort Hood attack. NY Daily News

Daoud Ibraheem, 72, was granted a religious exception for facial hair when he was hired in 2007 by Wackenhut Services, but says the special treatment has triggered harassment by supervisors.

In a $3 million discrimination suit filed in Brooklyn Federal Court, Ibraheem says he is subjected to daily spot-checks by officers from the Federal Protective Service.

They repeatedly insist he must produce a letter written by the imam of his Brooklyn mosque vouching for his faith, the suit says.
