A lawsuit against a Muskogee County store and gun range has been dismissed after it removed an anti-Muslim sign.

Raja’ee Fatihah, who works for the Oklahoma Department of Human Services and serves in the U.S. Army Reserves, brought the suit in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma in Muskogee in 2016, along with the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Oklahoma and the Council on American-Islamic Relations Oklahoma Chapter.

The Oktaha business in July 2015 posted a sign that read: “This privately owned business is a Muslim-free establishment. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.”

Fatihah went to the business in October 2015 and was asked to leave after he identified himself as a Muslim, according to the lawsuit.

The defendants, Chad Neal and Nicole Mayhorn Neal, who do business as Save Yourself Survival and Tactical Gun Range, said they removed the sign Dec. 21, 2018. It has been replaced by a sign saying the business is a “terrorist-free establishment” with “the right to refuse service to anyone for safety.” The Neals directed questions Tuesday to their attorney at the American Freedom Law Center.
