NEW YORK — A Muslim firefighter who said he was subjected to firehouse harassment over his faith and race, including being fed pork in violation of his religious beliefs, has settled his lawsuit against New York City. The New York Post reported the city settled with Raheem Hassan for $224,000 but did not admit to wrongdoing. He said that included anti-black racial slurs and co-workers cooking food for communal meals that included pork but falsely telling him otherwise. At the time, the firehouse was shut down for a short time after the alleged threat phone call. ——Information from: New York Post, http://www.nypost.com
