BRIDGETON • A Taco Bell employee has been fired after she made Islamophobic statements to a customer whose video of her profane comments went viral on social media.

The man was ordering food from a Taco Bell at 12420 St. Charles Rock Road to eat before beginning daily fast during Ramadan, a holy month of fasting and spiritual renewal for Muslims.

The Missouri chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations called on Taco Bell to apologize for the employee's "obscene rant."

“I am utterly appalled by this ugly display of anti-Muslim bigotry and ignorance,” said Faizan Syed, executive director of CAIR-Missouri. “Taco Bell needs to take this incident seriously, apologize to the customer and immediately implement cultural competency training for all of their staff.”

A video of the encounter the man posted to Twitter received thousands of views. He said he went to the Taco Bell after work to order food and had a long conversation with the employee, during which she insisted "ALL Muslims are terrorists." The man could not be reached Friday for comment.
