Excerpt:
A national Muslim organization has encouraged Walmart to rehire the Hamburg store employee who was recently fired after he posted derogatory comments about Muslims.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations wrote a letter this week to Walmart executive William S. Simon expressing hope that the retail giant will accept an apology from the employee, Terry Earsing, "and if possible provide him employment."
The letter, dated Wednesday, followed talks between Earsing and two representatives from the council.
