Danish pizza maker fired again for refusing to serve French, German tourists.
(From AP Worldstream)
Byline: JAN M. OLSEN
A Danish pizza maker who refused to serve French and German tourists last year because of their governments' opposition to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, said Tuesday he was fired from another pizzeria because of his views.
Last year, Aage Bjerre drew scorn _ and some support _ for refusing to sell pizza to German and French tourists, whom he called "anti-American."
In February 2003, he stuck two posters with bars through images of people colored in the hues of the French and German flags on the front of his pizzeria on the island of Fanoe in western Denmark.
Six months later, he was found guilty of discrimination, but refused to pay a 5,000-kroner (US$820) fine and served eight days in a minimum-security prison instead.
He emigrated to the Faeroe Islands, a Danish territory between Scotland and Iceland, in October and was hired to work at a pizzeria in Klaksvik, a town of 5,000.
