Muslim Man’s Burger Comes With…a ‘Happy September 11’ Terror Drawing

Muslim Man Gets Offensive September 11 Drawing With His Meal

The infamous "Happy September 11" to-go box (Image: @OKGhalayini/Twitter)

On the 10th anniversary of September 11, a Muslim man going by the name of “Tarek G.” claims that he received an unwelcome surprise when he ordered a burger from Petrol Station, a local restaurant in Houston.

On the outside of the styrofoam to-go box that his food arrived in, there was a hand-drawn picture of an airplane heading toward one of the Twin Towers. To add insult to injury, the image also had text that read, “Happy September 11” (in the picture, the “11” was cleverly portrayed by what appears to be the two World Trade Center buildings).

Now, we must emphasize that this entire incident is based on allegations that Tarek posted on Yelp purportedly following the incident. Eater Houston provides an excerpt of his “review“:

I decided to order a burger to go and take home to finish watching the Cowboys game. When the burger came out, “Happy September 11th” was written on the box, with the “11” being the WTC and a plane flying towards it. [...] I asked him [the bartender] to please take the burger away and give me a refund. He sort of scoffed and proceeded to speak with his manager, and within earshot, called my friend and I “assholes” for complaining about what he clearly thought was funny.

To be fair, the manager came over and provided me with a refund, but no apology or explanation. A bit stunned, we finished our beers and left it at that. Before leaving, I asked to get in touch with the owner so that I could voice my concerns – the manager asked me to leave my information, at the same time confessing that the “joke was f&$cked up“.

But it didn’t end there. Tarek continues:

As I walked out, I heard from behind the bar “Allahu Akbar…” ["God is the greatest"] repeated several times.

According to Gawker, the situation inevitably reached the restaurant’s owner, Ben Fullilove. After learning about what occurred, Fullilove reached out via Twitter to Fox News, CNN, MSNBC and others. Below, see his initial message:

Muslim Man Gets Offensive September 11 Drawing With His Meal

In the end, the employee was apparently fired and the restaurant is attempting to ease tensions. In an interview with Eater Houston, Fullilove said:

“I understand the damage that gets done to your business, but I have to know for myself that we’re ok with that guy. I got a chance to shake his hand and apologize to him and that means a lot more to me than the damage to my business.”

Below, see some of the other Tweets that were sent out by the restaurant, apologizing for the incident:

Not the best PR, but the restaurant has attempted to right its employee’s wrong.

    Well, this is better than being stoned or getting your head cut off, I guess.

    What gets me is that Islam is not a relegion and everyone wants to pretend like it is.

    Even the so called moderates do not understand the fire they are playing with.

    If this was done in another country, your complaint would not even be voiced.

      you seem to misunderstand that 1 billion people do see islam as a religion… and only about 10% of them see it as an extriemest religion…. TOO bad that they are the ones who seem to find a way to control the other 90%, but for christians we also have about 10% of our population that is radacalized… and during many parts of history Christanisty has been used as a justification for war and murder…. BOTH RELIGIONS ARE GUILTY… instead of blaming and calling one or the other NOT REAL… mabey you should wake up and see that your ignorance is part of the problem… that ALL PEOPLE CAN BE GOOD OR BAD REGARDLESS OF RELIGION…. but i will agree… the 10% who are RADACALIZED do see it as their mission to either CONVERT OR KILL THE ENTIRE WORLD…. with that said…. YES THESE EXTREIMESTS ARE NOT PART OF A ORGANIZED RELIGION… but to say that the 90% that get oppressed by these idiots. are just warshipping false idols is a pathetically ignorant statement….

      Termination of employment is far preferable to stoning in any civilized scenario, however, with radical Islam, we aren’t dealing with civilized people. Why is that so difficult for some people to understand? Those people don’t want the kind of life we have….they’re content live in caves, tents, or what we’d call a shack over here, without the benefit of electricity, indoor plumbing, or running water.

      First of all, it’s spelled religion. Normally I wouldn’t care that you misspelled something, but the very thing you are saying it isn’t…you can‘t screw that one up while insulting people’s beliefs.

      Secondly, it IS a religion. It doesn’t matter whether you believe it is or not. There is no doubt that Islam is a religion. Heck, Scientology is a religion, no matter how stupid anyone might think it is.

      Strange comment… if Islam is not a religion, then what is? What makes Christianity or Judaism or Hinduism qualify as a religion while Islam does not? Or do you believe that religion doesn’t exist?

      And “only” 10% of them are “radicalized,” which amounts to 100 million people, or 1/3rd the population of the U.S. On 9-11, it only took 19 of them to kill nearly 3000 Americans and destroy $BILLIONS in property. Now, I would consider anyone who believes suicide bombers that target civilians are legitimate uses of force as radicalized, and that number is closer to 30% of all muslims…. video from the muslim world on 9-11 showed cheering and the burning of American flags… I doubt that was “only” 10%.

      BE PREPARED.

      “… and only about 10% of them see it as an extriemest religion…. TOO bad that they are the ones who seem to find a way to control the other 90%, but for christians we also have about 10% of our population that is radacalized…”

      So you really are going to compare Christianity with Islam? Please tell me which of the thousands of terrorist attacks each year are done by Christians! You can’t just make up fake stats to support your agenda. A true Christian who is ‘radicalized’ and follows the Bible is going to pray for you if you mistreat them, not cut your head off.

      Muslims emulate Muhammad: he raided caravans, killed thousands of innocent people, made robbery a way of life, and ‘consummated’ his marriage by having sex with a 9 year old girl.

      Christians are to emulate Jesus: love your enemy (not cut their heads of like Muslims), pray for those that mistreat you, never steal etc. Jesus is a MUCH better example.

      “and during many parts of history Christanisty has been used as a justification for war and murder…. BOTH RELIGIONS ARE GUILTY… ”

      I assume you are talking about the Crusades? Yes Christians (or those who claimed to be) did some terrible things. Remember though, for a couple hundred years BEFORE the crusades the Muslums where conquering and killing Christians. After a couple of hundred years of Muslims wiping out millions of Christians the Christians had to fight back! If there had not been the crusades Islam wo

      Where do you come up with the 90-10? 80% of Egyptians polled during the “Arab Spring” claimed they believe any Muslim who leaves the faith should be put to death. MAYBE 90% of American Muslims are what we would consider peaceful, but certainly not 90% around the world. Did you just pull that number out of thin air? Muhammad himself slaughtered thousands of Jews in Medina when they wouldn’t convert. Stop denying the fundamental difference in violence between Islam and most other religions.

      People have done terrible things in the name of many different religious, and in the name of purifying the species (the result of atheism) However, the holy books of Islam support that action and that is why Islam is the chief source of terrorism around the world. How many “Christian” Terrorist attacks have occurred in the last 100 years. The great majority of all terrorism and mass murders happen by Islam and Godless people as Nietzsche predicted (Hitler, Stalin, Mao)

      My understanding is that Islam is a religion that is tied to Sharia Law thru the Koran. For instance the Koran, their bible, states that infidels, those that do not convert to Islam, should be killed. Sharia Law which is trying to get approved in the USA in each state has its own laws. In England they have areas that are Sharia Law areas and the country’s laws cannot be used there. I am not very versed on it but I believe my understanding is the gist of the debate going on. Now, how many muslims believe in Sharia Law that it should be used here in the USA, I do not know. That would be an important piece of information to have. I would have to assume all muslims believe in Sharia Law or they wouldn’t be muslims.

      @smokeysmoke,
      I disagree with your statement;
      “and during many parts of history Christanisty has been used as a justification for war and murder…. BOTH RELIGIONS ARE GUILTY”
      Can you please explain when Christianity was used by Christians as a Justification for War or Murder?

      Was that WWII?
      Was it WWI?
      The French and Indian War, Revolutionary War, Civil War, war of 1812?
      Could it be the Napoleonic War’s? …Or do you mean the Crusades? You do realize they were Crusades to save Christian‘s from the Muslim’s that were wiping out the Christian’s throughout the Middle East right?

      Tell you what, while you are researching for your answer, look at the Mosques built in Istanbul, check the dates they were built, on top of what were they built? and realize the correlation to this and the Crusades… You can do the same using Cordoba Spain.

      Let us not spread age old lie’s because we are uneducated.
      All of us need to take time to listen, read and then research to ensure the information is correct before spewing it from our mouth’s as though it were true.

      If not one would believe the Koran, when it say’s Jesus was a follower of Muhammad . . . which though it say’s this the problem is logistics. You see Jesus was crucified 500 years before Mohammad (both spelling are used for the same person) was born, actually 570 years.

      So when even a Cleric say’s it you should do the research. This of course goes for all things. Read the Koran, the Bible and Torah then

      SMOKYSMOKE, you points are invalid on two separate counts. First, saying that Christianity is just as guilty as Islam based upon… what? The Spanish Inquisition? That’s a good comparison, but it was over three or four hundred years ago. It WAS wrong, absolutely, and there were other things done wrong as well. Mainstream Christianity has long since renounced these atrocities, and I’m sure that if the Ummah (Muslim world as a whole) polices themselves, and punishes the extremists, that they will be able to put it behind them as well. But until the extremists stop receiving funding from collections taken up in American mosques, and the Saudi Arabian government, and rich arabs the world over, then they are STILL guilty. As long as they profess to be anti-extremism, but still refuse to side with ‘infidels’ against the extremists, they have picked a side! The extremists side!

      @ Smokey Smoke.

      Okay, as I am reading through your humanist ideals here I see the point you are trying to make. You contend that Christianity, as well as Islam both have a history of PEOPLE within those religions who use it to gain money, power, conquer etc. That’s your main point correct? Okay, I can agree with that. People are people and you can find evil in every person.

      What I disagree with is your statement that neither religion one is good or bad. This is a point that a previous poster had issue with and I agree with. The overall theme and teaching of Islam is to intimidate, punish, and conquer people into conversion. Salvation in Islam comes through strict adherence to the laws (5-pillars) of Islam. The overall theme and teaching of Christianity is, LOVE God with all your heart, LOVE your neighbor as yourself, and live a life that is RESPECTABLE in the eyes of God and men. Salvation in Christianity comes through FAITH, not works, not money, not strict adherence to the law, but FAITH in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

      So when you place the two religions side by side, they are vastly different, and yes one is bad, one is good.

      The answer to whether Islam is a religion or a theo-politcal system depends on how your civilization interprets it. Are you a Westerner? Absolutely, Islam is a religion — of peace, BTW. Are you a Middle Easterner? Absolutely not. Islam in its pure form as put forth in the Qur’an and ahidith is a THEO-POLITICAL TOTALITARIAN SYSTEM (demands “submission”). Thus, it is rightfully described by informed, non-gullible Westerners as Islamo-fascism.

      We need to stop this “small percentage of extremists” BS. First, because as someone pointed out, jihadists may comprise only a small percentage of Muslims, but considering there are ~1.5 billion Muslims in the world, that is a significant number of terrorists we must confront. Second, because even though the goal of Islam is a world caliphate, jihad is not the current method of propagation. ISLAMISM, coupled with exponential procreation, IS. Please understand this crucial fact: Islamism is the **daily bread** in every madrassa and mosque in the Muslim world. Islamism spreads via political and cultural violence. It is extremely effective because, like other modern totalitarian ideologies, it avails itself of the civil liberties of the free world to ultimately destroy it.

      Do not be fooled, America. There are two conflicting interpretations of Islam, and only one is valid. Are you going to accept what is filtered to the West, or will you wake up and smell the Islamist stench?

If your Muslim and get insulted like this remember, we got insulted and killed first. A little drawing on a box is no big deal, but doing it through another persons business makes it a big deal and thats where you get to make it a big deal instead of just walking away and taking it. If the kid had an issue with the customer, he should have done it on his own time. Atleast that way it would have taken more courage and not brought the issue down upon the business in question.

      Doing the right thing is something that needs to be reinforced at all levels of US society – applied against anyone who is a messenger of hate. This manager knew that the only way to quickly distance the restaurant from the hate portrayed in this doodle drawing was to terminate the employee immediately. I hope the employee in question enjoys the experience of being unemployed like so many others in the USA right now. I‘m not getting the impression they’ll get a very good reference from ‘Petrol Station’ when they apply for a job again. Quite honestly, the person that did this ought to be deported to Yemen or someplace like that where their message would be better ‘celebrated.’

      There is no truth to the conspiracy that the military in Afghanistan uses Silver Bullet Gun Oil which contains 12% liquefied swine fat. A martyr shot with a bullet contaminated with swine fat would be denied his place in paradise and the 72 virgins.

      There is no truth to the conspiracy that restaurants that serve bacon cheeseburgers use the same utensils and grill to cook Muslim cheeseburgers.

      The careful reader may notice the restaurant owner was named: Ben Fullilove (pronounced Been Full Of Love). It makes one wonder what the cook may have substituted for the mayo.

      I was thinking the same thing. He must not be a practicing Muslim, so maybe that’s why he was insulted by the event. I do think it was a joke in really bad taste, and should never have been done. It shows the anger over the ones who danced in the streets, and how that translates to the so called moderates who have failed to step up and condemn the actions of extremists.

He didn’t believe women should hold positions of power and called a woman in his class a “terrorist” because she read a poem about having an abortion.

      While I know you are correct that not all “islamics” are radicals…
      I can only go on the evidence I have seen/heard for myself.

      To date, I have NO evidence to the contrary, aside from people who state that not all of them are radicals. Yes, yes, I know, out of the BILLIONS of them, there have to be some that are good.
      However, our own government has found that 23% of U.S. islamic youth believe terror-bombing IS in accordance with their “religion”. And that number is double what it was a decade ago.

      Those are some odds I am not willing to take.

      So, until I start getting some SOLID evidence that they publicly reject all such hostilities, without exception, unequivocally, then I MUST rely upon the evidence I have to date.

      When you hurt someone, the apology needs to be as public as the offense.
      You also need to build a track record of GOOD WORKS.

      A few salient scriptures…

      Matthew 7:16 – “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?”

      Proverbs 20:11 – “Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.”

      Titus 1:16 – “They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.”
      &
      Matthew 7:15 – “BEWARE false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”

Islam IS radical because it calls for the murder of people who do not believe in their “religion”, they are following the Koran. So to say you are “moderate” means you don’t follow the Koran- so again, WHY WOULD YOU BE MUSLIM OR CALL YOURSELF A MUSLIM just to NOT follow what it says?!!!
