A soldier in Brownsville claims he was discriminated against at a convenience store because he was wearing a U.S. Army Uniform.
"I paid for my stuff and he said take that (expletive) off. He was pointing at the army patch saying where he was from, they didn't like that. And then he shook his head then he did a "praise Allah," said Williams.

Reading through the responses thus far, and I think one major point has been overlooked.
Discrimination is discrimination no matter which side it happens on. If the story was the complete opposite, a soldier telling the shop owner that his Muslim attire was offensive and to take it off, what would be the response.
People will have differing opinions on a wide range of topics, and that is wonderful, but let's maintain some intellectual honesty. Discrimination is discrimination. Plain and simple.
Well the next time someone in a uniform kicks your door in, and drags away a family member.
