HAMBURG, N.Y. Wal-Mart has fired an employee of a western New York store after he posted derogatory comments about Muslim customers on Facebook.

The firing follows a request by the New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations for Wal-Mart to discipline the assistant manager of the store in Hamburg, a suburb of Buffalo.

Along with a picture of Muslim women in traditional dress, the manager's expletive-filled posting read: "Halloween came early this year. ... Do they really have to ... dress like that."

A spokeswoman for Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart Stores Inc. says company officials looked into the posting immediately upon learning about it and fired the employee.

CAIR identified him as Terry Earsing. He apologized when reached by The Buffalo News Wednesday.

"I'm truly, honestly sorry about the whole thing. I just apologize. I don't know what else I can say," Earsing told the newspaper.

    I made fun of walmart once. You know what they did? They opened a Walmart in my neighborhood which caused the mom and pop shop I used to work at to go bankrupt. The mom in the mom and pop shop had to prostitute herself and the Dad became her pimp. I couldn't handle how a joke of mine ruined their lives and became a crackhead and an alcoholic.

    Don't mess with Walmart man. Just ... don't.

    I think he was probably fired for cause, the cause being stupidity. Anyone who doesn't know to temper their posts on FB with discretion deserves to be fired.
