The Arkansas Times reports on a gun range called The Gun Cave that last year declared itself "Muslim-free."
The range recently turned away a father and son who are not Muslims but are of south Asian extraction. The two had used the range in the past, but the range changed ownership.

As reported at the Times (full article available at the link):
They're not Muslim, but they do happen to be South Asian. They were told to leave by a woman, presumably Jan Morgan, the owner.
"My dad and I used to go to this gun range," said the young man, who asked not to be identified by name, "but we haven’t had as much of a chance to go in recent years since I've been at college. It's changed ownership recently."
"When we went in, a woman asked, ‘Where are you guys from?’ We told her we were from Hot Springs. She said, "this is a Muslim free shooting range," so if we are [Muslim] and if we don’t like the rule, then leave. We said that we’re not Muslim, but my dad asked, ‘Why is it Muslim free?’ and they started having a conversation. Then, all of a sudden, I don’t know what went wrong, but she stopped us from filling out the paperwork and said ‘I don’t think you guys should be here.’ She told us to leave or she’d call the cops on us."
So how do they tell who is a Muslim and who is not (and how do they get away with discrimination based on religious belief)? Turns out by good-old-fashioned racism.
